excavation

Excavation is the process of moving earth, rock, or other materials from the ground to prepare a site for construction, utilities, or landscaping. It involves digging, trenching, or removing soil using tools or machinery like excavators and backhoes. The goal is to create a foundation, level the terrain, or access underground features. Proper planning ensures stability and safety, preventing issues like collapses or water intrusion. Excavation is a vital initial step in many construction projects, shaping the landscape according to specific design requirements for buildings, roads, or infrastructure.
