Do you have an upcoming construction project that may require excavation? The excavating industry is booming. According to IBISWorld, revenue for the excavation contractors industry has risen to $79.1 billion in 2022. That's an annualized increase of 0.7% over the past five years. Excavating companies are equipped to handle a wide range of projects, from small residential jobs to large commercial and industrial projects. Below are three types of jobs an excavating company can perform for you.

Site Clearing and Grading

One of the most common services offered by excavating companies is site clearing and grading. This involves removing trees, brush, and debris from a construction site, as well as leveling and shaping the land to prepare it for building. Site clearing and grading are typically needed for new construction projects, such as building a new home or commercial building. Excavating companies have the equipment and expertise to clear large areas of land quickly and efficiently, and they can also handle any stumping or tree removal that may be necessary.

Demolition

Another common service offered by excavating companies is demolition. This involves removing an existing structure, such as a house, commercial building, or even a bridge. Excavating companies have the heavy equipment and trained operators needed to safely and efficiently demolish structures of all sizes. They can also handle the removal of any debris and can even recycle certain materials if needed.

Underground Utilities Installation

Excavating companies can also install various underground utilities, such as water and sewer lines, gas lines, electrical and telecommunications lines, and more. This involves digging trenches and holes to bury the utilities and then backfilling and compacting the soil. These can be difficult jobs because the excavating company may need to avoid nearby lines, pipes, and even tree roots. Make sure the company you hire has experience with trench digging for your specific type of project. Qualified excavating companies have the skills and equipment necessary to install utilities quickly and safely, and they can also handle any necessary repairs or replacements.
