Hand Excavations
Hand Excavated Test Pits allows the geotechnical team to visually assess subsurface conditions presented.
Hand excavation is also used when the use of digging equipment would cause unacceptable damage to the surrounding structures or land, or the work, if done by mechanical digging equipment – such as a backhoe – would present the possibility of a collapse.

With the downside of being slower than an excavator, Hand Excavations has its advantages such as:
- Being Cost Effective
- Minimal Damage to Surroundings
- Less Chance of Damaging Services
- Having Access to Places Bigger Machines Don’t
- Easier to Reinstate the Site.
Hand Excavations is not always as straight forward as it seems. That is why we offer these additional services to further assist:
- Concrete Cutting
- Concrete Breaking and Removal
- Ruble Removal
- Concrete Cap Reinstatement
- Clean Up
