EXCAVATION

Any successful project starts with a sound foundation.

At Gillis Construction, we have more than a decade of excavation experience, ensuring your home or business is ready and waiting for the next step – whether it be to build a home, swimming pool, septic system or something else.

WHAT IS EXCAVATION?

Excavation in the simplest terms is digging a hold or trench to meet the necessary width, depth and length of a variety of construction projects. Excavations are done to make room for a sound foundation for your home or commercial building, to improve the drainage of your property, make room for a new in ground swimming pool, install a septic system and more.

An excavator is the main tool used in the process – this is a heavy machine with a long, extendable arm that consists of a boom, dipper, bucket and cab that sits on a rotating platform.  We also commonly integrate the use of other heavy machinery such as backhoes, bulldozers, loaders, dump trucks, etc.
