Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the UK.

What equipment is used for excavation?

Excavation projects employ various heavy equipment, chosen based on the job's scale and complexity. Common equipment includes:
  • Excavators: Versatile machines with a bucket, arm, and rotating cab for digging, lifting, and moving earth.
  • Backhoes: Similar to excavators but with a digging bucket on the back and a loader bucket on the front, ideal for trenching and smaller excavations.
  • Bulldozers: Powerful machines with a large blade for pushing earth, clearing land, and leveling surfaces.
  • Skid Steers: Compact and maneuverable loaders with various attachments (buckets, forks) for digging, loading, and grading in tight spaces.
  • Trenchers: Specialized machines for digging narrow trenches for utilities.
  • Dump Trucks: Vehicles for hauling excavated material to disposal sites.
The choice of equipment depends on factors such as the type of excavation, soil conditions, site accessibility, and project budget.

How do I calculate how much dirt I need for fill?

To calculate the volume of dirt (fill) needed, follow these steps:
  1. Determine the Area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to fill. Multiply them to get the area in square feet (or meters).
  2. Determine the Depth: Measure the difference between the existing grade and the desired grade (how much you need to raise the ground). This is the depth of fill required.
  3. Calculate Volume: Multiply the area (step 1) by the depth (step 2) to get the volume in cubic feet (or meters).
  4. Account for Compaction: Fill dirt compacts when it settles, so add 10% to 25% to the calculated volume to account for compaction. The exact percentage depends on the type of fill material.
For complex projects or uneven terrain, consult an excavation contractor or surveyor for accurate volume calculations.

What is the difference between cut and fill excavation?

Cut and fill excavation is a technique for balancing earthwork volumes on a site:
Cut: Involves excavating soil from an area where the existing grade is higher than the desired grade.
Fill: Refers to using the excavated soil ('cut' material) to raise the grade in an area where the existing grade is lower than desired.
This method minimizes the need to import or export soil, reducing costs and environmental impact. It's commonly used for site preparation, road construction, and landscaping.

Do I need a permit for excavation?

Permit requirements for excavation vary widely depending on your location and the project's specifics. Generally, permits are needed for:
  • Excavations Deeper Than a Certain Depth: This varies by jurisdiction, usually around 5 feet.
  • Excavations Near Utilities: Digging near buried utilities (gas, water, electric) often requires permits and utility locates to prevent damage.
  • Excavations Affecting Public Property: Projects impacting sidewalks, roads, or other public areas typically require permits.
  • Excavations in Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Projects in wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive areas might need special permits.
Contact your local building department or planning authority to determine the permit requirements for your excavation project. Failure to obtain necessary permits can result in fines or project delays.
