What is Rock Excavation?
Rock excavation is the process of removing large, solid rock formations from a site to prepare it for construction. This can include:
- Excavating bedrock for building foundations
- Removing rock for roadways and driveways
- Trenching through rocky ground for utilities
- Creating level pads for commercial or residential developments
