Rock Excavation Handbook

Excavation activities at construction sites are very diverse. Contracting customers also vary significantly in size. What is a typical construction project made up of? The answer is that all construction projects are time-limited. Project duration varies from one month to several years, and the schedules are almost always tight. Usually, immediate mobilization takes place once the contract has been awarded and often there are penalties involved if the original schedule does not keep. It is therefore important to choose the right excavation method together with the right equipment to keep the project on schedule. This handbook covers all modern excavation methods and also provides some recent case stories.
