excavation methods

Excavation methods refer to the techniques used to remove soil and other materials from a site to prepare for construction, archaeology, or mining. Common methods include hand digging, using excavators (large machines with a bucket), and trenching for utility work. Techniques vary based on the project's scale and purpose. For example, building foundations might require deep excavations with heavy machinery, while archaeological digs often involve careful hand tools to preserve artifacts. Safety measures and environmental considerations are important in all excavation practices to prevent accidents and minimize impact on the surrounding area.
