Earthworks: what is involved and what equipment is used?

Earthworks, including digging pits, trenches, pools, ponds, etc., are an integral part of every construction project. They lay the foundation for the construction of buildings, roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Proper execution of earthworks ensures the stability and durability of future structures. It is worth entrusting the implementation of such a task to the team of specialists of the company “Forest – Ukraine”.

Types of earthworks and their features

There are different types of earthworks, the main ones being:

• Soil development. Excavation is performed, that is, the removal of soil from the massif using excavators when constructing pits, excavations, and embankments.
• Digging trenches. These are narrow and deep excavations for laying communications and foundations.
• Excavations. Rectangular-shaped excavations are made for the foundations of buildings, and stairs or ramps are arranged on the slopes for safe access.
• Construction of embankments and planning of territories.
• Soil replacement and improvement.
• Drilling wells and pile driving.

Our company performs high-quality excavation work of varying complexity, even in difficult conditions.

Mechanization and equipment for earthmoving

Excavation work in modern construction is impossible without the use of powerful and productive equipment. The choice of optimal transport and mechanisms depends on the type of work, volume, soil conditions and construction time. Considering current trends in construction equipment, the following types of modern machines can be distinguished:

• Excavators. For work in confined spaces, the GG 1000 mini excavator is used. Powerful hydraulic quarry excavators are effective at sites with large excavation volumes.
• The Liebherr 314 wheeled excavator and the Case 695 backhoe loader, which combine the functions of soil development and loading.
• Volvo, Case, Hitachi, Terex full-swing crawler excavators, providing high maneuverability and work productivity.

Modern earthmoving equipment and transport are equipped with automation systems, control of operating parameters and GPS navigation, which increases the efficiency of work. We provide such equipment for rent, using our own trawl for delivery, which allows you to save money.
