Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

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.

How long does an excavation project take?

The duration of an excavation project varies significantly depending on factors like:
  • Project Size and Scope: Larger, more complex excavations naturally take longer.
  • Soil Conditions: Rocky or challenging soil types can slow down progress.
  • Site Accessibility: Limited access might require more time for maneuvering equipment and hauling materials.
  • Weather: Inclement weather can cause delays.
  • Permitting and Inspections: Waiting for permits or inspections can extend the timeline.
Your excavation contractor can provide a more accurate estimate after assessing your project's specifics.

What are the different types of excavation?

Excavation encompasses various types, each with its purpose and method. Some common types include:
  • Topsoil Removal: Stripping the fertile topsoil layer from a site, often preserving it for landscaping.
  • Trench Excavation: Digging long, narrow trenches for utilities (pipes, cables) or foundations.
  • Basement Excavation: Removing earth to create a space for a basement beneath a structure.
  • Pool Excavation: Digging a precise hole for installing a swimming pool.
  • Roadway Excavation: Removing earth and preparing the ground for road construction.
  • Demolition Excavation: Clearing debris and preparing the site after demolition.
  • Channel Excavation: Creating channels for drainage or irrigation.
The specific type of excavation required depends on the project's goals and site conditions.

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.
