Thanks Jimmy Ard Ard Contracting, Inc. It is my pleasure to write this letter of appreciation for Billy McBride & Gary Daffner and their team for their performance on the SCAD Indian Street Project in Savannah Georgia. The foremen and their team have proven to be a valuable addition for any company with their knowledge & know how of your industry. “TEAM WORK” at its best . The foremen and their team also displayed a high safety knowledge of the work force safety while on site at all times . The foremen and their team produced a high volume of work while maintaining high standards for workmanship and quality.  The team also processes the ultimate “can do “ attitude while taking on all task asked of them with a positive attitude. The team worked hard with CLAYCO with coordinating and scheduling their portion of work on the project.  The team took initiative to go beyond the expected parameters of the job and that’s why I feel they have the intangibles and are  a great success in the work place. Billy & Gary’s work ethics and communication skills add value to wherever they work .The proof is how well their team has performed even when different foreman were in place . Professionalism is what both Billy & Gary expect from their team and it shows in their work as well as their team. Great job and Thanks . Charles McKinney General Superintendent Treagon – Your guys did a fantastic job on this project which truly made me smile.  It went smoothly (at least from my perspective) from start to finish due to the hard work and positive attitude of both your team and mine.  I look forward to working with you and your team in the future. Chris Brummel Project Executive, Rentenbach Constructors Incorporated Vaughn – I wanted you to know that your crew at 1000 Park Ave. is doing an excellent job with not only their scope, but their attention to detail every day in regards to safety. Every morning Joey does an excellent job with leading the group in pre task planning, and the other team members take the necessary steps and precautions with the specific tasks. This is a great way to start a project and we rewarded the Berkel crew members with lunch today. Josh Bollin General Superintendent, Gilbane Building Company Joe – good group of people, very impressive. I was most impressed with the fact that with all the mud and wet working conditions Berkel had a excellent safety record. Your PM Chris Chinopulos is a talented young man, but don’t share that I wouldn’t want to give him a big head. Gary Collard CSA Supervisor, Yates Constructors, Wacker Polisilicon Project Chris and Joe – I would like to say thank you to you and your team on doing a great job the last couple of months. We know it was not always easy to work around but we made it work at least due to your flexibility you provided over the entire time. I would like to wish you good luck and a great success on your next job. Johann Mayer Project Manager, Wacker Chemie AG I have been with SkanskaUSA for over 32 years and the shoring team on this project has hands down been the best I’ve ever been associated with. It is leaders like Berkel Superintendent Pablo Echeverria that make SkanskaUSA jobs successful and a pleasure to build. Ralph Easterwood General Superintendent, SkanskaUSA I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your company for a job well done. As you know, stringent time constraints were placed on Berkel’s portion of this project. I’m pleased to say you not only met these constraints, but far exceeded my expectations. Your on-site personnel’s performance resulted in what was probably the smoothest pile installation of my career. Martin Shows Project Superintendent, Carothers Construction The final ratings issued by the Navy on the Joint Strike Project received the highest possible overall rating of “Outstanding”. This is a great accomplishment and the Berkel Team contributed greatly. William E. Simons and James T. Gallagher Coakley-Williams Construction

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the USA.

How do you handle soil disposal after excavation?

Responsible soil disposal after excavation is essential. Excavation contractors typically handle it by:
  • Hauling to Designated Disposal Sites: Transporting excavated material to approved landfills or recycling centers.
  • Recycling or Reuse: If suitable, some excavated soil might be recycled for other projects or reused on-site for landscaping or backfilling.
  • Complying with Regulations: Adhering to local and environmental regulations for soil disposal to prevent contamination or illegal dumping.
Discuss disposal plans with your contractor, inquire about recycling options, and ensure they handle waste responsibly.

What are the different methods of excavation?

Excavation methods vary depending on project needs, site conditions, and available resources. Some common methods include:
  • Mechanical Excavation: Utilizing heavy equipment like excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, and loaders, suitable for most projects.
  • Hand Excavation: Using hand tools (shovels, picks) for smaller excavations or delicate work near utilities.
  • Blasting: Employing explosives to break up rock or hard materials, typically for large-scale projects.
  • Hydro Excavation: Using high-pressure water jets to loosen and remove soil, often used for locating utilities or delicate excavation.
  • Vacuum Excavation: Employing a vacuum system to suck up excavated material, suitable for safe excavation near utilities or in confined spaces.
Excavation contractors choose the most appropriate method based on factors like efficiency, cost, safety, and environmental impact.

What should I do before excavation starts?

Prior to the start of excavation, take these essential steps:
  • Clearly Define the Scope: Outline the project's goals, including the excavation area, depth, grade, and intended use.
  • Obtain Necessary Permits: Research and acquire any required permits from your local authorities.
  • Mark Utility Lines: Contact your utility companies to locate and mark underground utilities to prevent damage.
  • Communicate with Neighbors: Inform your neighbors about the project's timeline and potential noise or disruptions.
  • Prepare the Site: Clear any obstacles, such as vegetation, furniture, or structures, from the excavation area.
  • Discuss Safety Protocols: Review safety procedures with the contractor to ensure a safe work environment.
Taking these steps helps ensure a smooth and successful excavation project.

How do I know if I need a retaining wall?

Retaining walls are structures designed to hold back soil or rock and prevent erosion on sloped terrain. You might need a retaining wall if:
  • Sloped Property: Your property has a significant slope, making it prone to soil erosion or landslides.
  • Creating Usable Space: You want to level off a sloped area to create a flat surface for patios, gardens, or other outdoor spaces.
  • Preventing Damage: Erosion is threatening existing structures, driveways, or walkways.
  • Landscaping Features: You're incorporating tiered gardens, raised beds, or other landscaping elements requiring soil retention.
Consult with an excavation contractor or landscape architect to determine if a retaining wall is necessary for your project and to ensure it's properly designed and constructed for safety and longevity.
