Excavation & Sitework Estimating
Existing-versus-proposed 3D cut and fill, swell and shrinkage, rock excavation, imported granular fill, trenching, shoring, erosion and sediment control, and excess-soil management.
Technical Takeoff Scope & Engineering Overview
Earthwork bids are won on 3D terrain models that convert bank to compacted and loose volumes using geotechnical logs, topsoil stripping, over-excavation, dewatering and trench protection. We include provincial one-call locates, OHS trench requirements and excess-soil rules such as Ontario Regulation 406/19.
Governing Canadian Codes & Specifications
- Provincial OHS trenching regulations
- Ontario One Call / BC 1 Call / Info-Excavation
