What Do Excavating Contractors Do?

Excavating contractors use heavy equipment such as backhoes and bulldozers to dig, remove and relocate dirt and level land so various types of projects can be constructed. These can be residential, commercial, utilities or infrastructure. Excavating contractors typically work in a business with several employees and different types of equipment, so they can take on numerous kinds of jobs.

  1. Roadwork

    • Excavating contractors work on new and existing highways and other roads, including the construction of ramps and overpasses. They do dirt removal, relocating and grading.

    Wetlands

    • Excavating contractors also provide topsoil and fill services and sometimes must deal with wetland considerations. They work with wetland mitigation, which is the replacement of wetland through the creation or restoration of other wetlands.

    Site Preparation

    • These contractors prepare sites for residential and commercial construction, removing, hauling, relocating and bringing in dirt, sand and gravel.

    Concrete Preparatory Work

    • Excavation services are provided for basements, foundations, driveways, parking lots and more.

    Utility Installation

    • Many excavating contractors do underground utility installation as well, sometimes laying miles of pipework.
