There are several types of excavation methods used in construction and archaeology:
Trench Excavation: This involves digging a narrow and deep channel for various purposes like laying pipes, cables, or archaeological investigations.
Basement Excavation: It entails digging beneath existing structures to create underground spaces, often used in building construction.
Dredging: This is the removal of sediment or debris from bodies of water, like rivers or harbors, to maintain navigation channels.
Topsoil Excavation: The removal of the uppermost layer of soil, rich in organic matter, to prepare the ground for construction or landscaping.
Borrow Excavation: This involves digging and relocating earth from one location to another within a construction site to shape the terrain or create embankments.
Each type of excavation serves a specific purpose, ranging from construction and infrastructure development to archaeological research and environmental maintenance.
