Start with the right foundations
Vxcel Piling’s excavation services
Excavation services are ideal for:
- Residential and commercial
- Preparation of ground for piling and foundation work
- Site clearance
- Drainage and placement of concrete (where necessary)
- Landscaping
- Minimal disruption to your property
Excavation is a cornerstone of the groundworks and wider piling services we provide here at Vxcel Piling. Excavations and other groundworks are key preparations that often will need to be made at the outset of any piling project – essentially, getting the ground ready to lay the actual foundations.
Any piling project on a brand new site will almost universally involve excavation as the very first step, as it creates the space necessary to install the piles. Our excavation services here at Vxcel encompass site preparation, site clearance and trenching. Depending on the requirements of the project at hand, we can provide open excavation, trenchless excavation, and hydraulic excavation.
Our team will determine:
- The necessary depth of the excavation
- The angle at which the pile needs to be installed
The likelihood of any environmental impact on the surrounding area, including noise
We complete all of our piling projects with our own in-house expertise, and cutting-edge equipment and vehicles. We tend to use a small digger for maximum precision and minimal disruption during excavation works, so you can always have peace of mind in an efficient job well done.
Why is excavation so important for piling projects?
As we’ve touched on above, excavation is crucial for any piling project as it prepares the ground to accommodate the actual piles – columns made of materials like concrete, steel, or timber that are driven deep into the ground to provide strong support for structures, particularly in areas with unstable or soft soil.
The general process involves clearing the site, removing any existing obstructions, and ensuring a stable and level base. Crucially, it also provides an opportunity to assess and manage the soil conditions present at the site, and implement stabilisation techniques for unstable or soft ground if necessary.
Excavation also provides access to deeper subsurface layers, ensuring that piles reach the necessary depth for optimal load-bearing capacity. What’s more, excavation helps prevent ground movement or settlement, which could compromise the integrity of the foundation – thereby guaranteeing a solid and stable final structure.
