Frequently Asked Questions

Before proceeding to the Excavation/ Earthmoving/ Demolition process, you should inform your contractor on what to expect of the site. This includes its soil type, utility and power lines, and nearby areas that can have potential hazards. 

 Any type of Excavation/ Earthmoving/ Demolition involves operation of highly-powered equipment and machines is hazardous and may impose risks on the person using it and its environment. Thus, it should be left to professionals who will complete the job job safely and effectively.

JCB Excavation complies with the standard requirements as stated in the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, Division Work - Excavation Work.

The most common risk encountered during excavation and demolition is damage to underground utilities. If the contractor fails to conduct a pre-inspection of the site, they can hit electrical lines, water pipes, and other utility lines installed within the area while the job takes place. Therefore, leading to accidents and injuries to the people nearby.

Non-compliance to safety standards also leads to exposure to hazardous chemicals and contaminants not only to the operators and the residents but also to the environment.

Each Excavation/ Earthmoving/ Demolition project is unique. Hence, we cannot provide a definite time frame to finish the job. However, based on our experience, a typical foundation excavation/ demolition can last for 3 days up to 4 weeks depending on several factors such as size, material, and depth.
