Deep excavation beside high-rise towers
A deep excavation inside shored walls, with towers on every side. PCE worked the bottom of the hole: detailed excavation, setting manholes inside trench boxes and keeping the base clean for the trades that follow.
Commercial excavation beside an active rail line
Two excavators working a tight urban lot with freight trains passing a few metres away. Material came out of the hole and onto trucks.
Detailed excavation, machine lowered in by crane
On this site a compact excavator was lowered into the excavation by crane to do the detail work around the foundations.
