open area excavation
Open area excavation involves removing soil or rock from a site by creating large, shallow or deep open pits, often using heavy machinery like excavators or bulldozers. This process is used in construction for foundations, roadways, or utilities installation. It exposes the ground surface, making it accessible for engineering work. Proper planning ensures stability and safety, and the disturbed area is later filled and restored once the work is complete. This method is efficient for large-scale projects where underground obstacles are minimal or can be managed during excavation.
