Basement Excavation

We like to plan out your basement excavation in Melbourne before we begin digging. We also need to consider if the lot will have a well and/or septic system, but they should be spelled out on the plot plan/blueprint which we will need to have before any excavation begins. We will consider where the spoil pile (the ground removed from the hole) must go and if we are going to need to haul any material away. In some case we may need some of the dirt and material to build access ramps for the equipment and even the concrete trucks.

When excavating a basement, we really don’t want all the dirt removed and stacked on one side of the property. A portion of this dirt has to be backfilled against the basement walls. If there is enough room on site we can slope the extra dirt so that the concrete contractor can have room to walk around or have room to position their stacks of form boards. The amount of room we have on site dictates where we can position the extra dirt and how your contractors can access the site.
