Excavation

what are the challenges with excavation?

Excavation can present several challenges, including:

Ground conditions: Unstable or unknown ground conditions can make excavation challenging and potentially dangerous.
Underground obstacles: Excavation may encounter underground obstacles such as rocks, boulders, and other underground utilities, which can impact the progress of the excavation and potentially damage existing infrastructure.
Accessibility: Excavation may be limited by site access and restricted working areas, making it difficult to transport equipment and materials.
Environmental impact: Excavation can cause disruption to the environment, wildlife, and local communities, and may also result in soil erosion and water contamination.
Health and safety: Excavation work can be hazardous, with workers facing risks such as trench collapse, electrical hazards, and exposure to hazardous materials.
Time and cost: Excavation can be time-consuming and costly, particularly if it requires the removal of large amounts of material, or if it encounters unexpected obstacles or complications.

TNR has over 40 years of collective experience working in NW Missouri and determining if ground conditions are ideal for excavation are just part of a days' work.
Sometimes underground obstacle are difficult to avoid, but knowing the area and understanding our options help us determine the best course of action.
Accessibility and environmental impact are two factors in excavation that are part of the planning phase of any project.
Cost and time and health and safety are major concerns TNR, but are also part of the initial planning phase for any project.
Planning for issues, in advance, helps TNR get long-lasting, quality results.
