CAIRNS MINI EXCAVATIONS

When most people think about excavation services, they think of bulldozers and backhoes digging holes in the ground but excavation is the act of removing earth - soil, dirt, or stone - from one location to another by using machinery. There are a variety of excavation jobs out there. However, excavation businesses have a lot more versatility than you may think. 

Some services provided by our excavation services:

- Foundation excavation

Foundation excavation is one of the most important steps in building a structure. The foundation is the part of the structure that sits on the ground and it's responsible for supporting the rest of the structure. In order to create a stable foundation, the soil must be properly excavated and prepared. This is where a good excavation company comes in handy. They'll make sure the foundation is dug correctly and they'll also help prepare the soil so that it will be able to support the weight of the structure.

- Trenching

Trenching is a type of excavation that is used to create a trench. A trench is a long, narrow hole that is typically used to install cables, pipelines, or other underground infrastructure. Trenching is commonly used in the construction industry. It's a quick and efficient way to install pipelines and other infrastructure without having to dig a large hole. 

An excavation company will use specialised equipment to create a trench. The excavation company will use this equipment to dig a long, narrow hole in the ground. They will then use this hole to install pipelines or other infrastructure.

- Site preparation

In the past, the process of site preparation was a very tedious and time-consuming task. The excavation company would have to manually dig up dirt and stones and prepare it for building. Once this was done, workers would then come along with their equipment and remove the top layer of dirt and any other obstructions that were found. These tasks could take days or even weeks to complete. And the excavator company could only work on one specific site at a time which meant that they weren't always able to meet demand.

Fortunately, excavation companies now use heavy machinery to do most of this work for them. This has drastically reduced the amount of manpower needed for site preparation as well as the price.

- Drainage

There are two main types of drainage: surface drainage and subsurface drainage. Surface drainage is the process of removing liquid from the surface of the ground. This includes rainwater, wastewater, and any other type of liquid that is not meant to be there. Subsurface drainage is the process of removing liquid from below the surface of the ground. This includes groundwater and wastewater. 

In order to properly drain an area, you need to have the right drainage system in place. Drainage systems are made up of pipes, ditches, trenches, and other types of infrastructure that are designed to remove liquid from a given area. It's the job of an excavation company to create these drainage systems. If you have any kind of rainwater or wastewater problem in your home or business, it's important to hire an excavation company to help you.

- Septic system installation

These days, most people don't even know what a septic system is. But there are still many homes and businesses that rely on them to dispose of their wastewater. And these systems can quickly become overwhelmed or damaged if they are not properly maintained. That's why it's so important to hire an excavation company if your septic system is in need of repair or replacement. A good excavation company will be able to provide the necessary equipment and labour required for installing new pipes, ditches, trenches, etc.

- Landscaping

Landscaping is the process of altering the general appearance of an area. People use landscaping to make their yards, gardens and pool areas look more attractive. There are many different ways to go about landscaping, but most involve digging up at least some ground. 

Skid Steer Loader

A skid steer loader is a type of construction vehicle with a bucket and dipper on the front. They are designed primarily to make digging easier and faster, but they can also be used for various other tasks such as grading or excavation. Skid steers are perfect for any time you need to dig up dirt because they're small and lightweight and easy to operate plus they don't tear up your lawn as a bobcat would.

Benefits:

- Skid steer loaders are small and lightweight, making them easy to operate

- They don't tear up your lawn as a bobcat would

- Skid steers are perfect for any time you need to dig up dirt or level an area

- They have a bucket and dipper on the front for digging

It comes with forks to operate as a forklift

A bobcat is an excavator that has a front loader. It is used to dig up dirt and spread it out. Sometimes, they are also used for grading or mining. Bobcats are larger than skid steers, so they are not as easy to maneuver around the yard. However, this machine can be used for some jobs that require more force or power than can be offered by a small skid steer loader. A bobcat will tear up your lawn more than a skid steer because its claws will scratch up the grass and the blades on the front of the machine will cut through it.
