Excavation involves the removal of soil and rocks to create space for construction, such as digging foundations or trenches. Site preparation, on the other hand, encompasses a broader scope, including clearing vegetation, grading the land, and ensuring proper drainage to make the site suitable for building.
According to OSHA guidelines, trenches that are 5 feet deep or more must have a protective system in place unless the excavation is made entirely in stable rock. This is to prevent cave-ins and ensure worker safety.
Foundation excavation specifically focuses on digging to the required depth and dimensions to support a building’s foundation. It requires precise measurements and often involves removing unsuitable soil layers to ensure stability. Other types of excavation, like trenching, may not require the same level of precision or depth.
The soil, or “spoil,” removed during excavation can be repurposed for other site needs, such as grading or filling low areas. However, if the soil is contaminated, it must be disposed of according to local environmental regulations.
