- Topsoil Excavation
Topsoil Excavation is one of the most common types of excavation required in almost all construction projects. It is often the first step before laying the foundation or installing pipelines. Having the correct equipment for topsoil removal is crucial to the success of a project. That is why Case offers a variety of excavators any of which can be used for such a job. With equipment ranging from compact to large, to suit your specific needs. CMI provides a wide range of these Case products available for sale or rent.
- Rock Excavation
Many soils contain large rocks or even boulders, necessitating rock excavation before construction can begin. To address this, CMI Case offers a wide selection of heavy-duty excavators that can easily remove or relocate these obstructions. The Case CX140E or the CX490E models are typically used and recommended for this type of work. For your convenience, CMI rents out the Case CX210 heavy excavators with hydraulic hammers to help you break up the tough East Tennessee rock for removal.
- Footing Excavation
Every foundation requires footing to stabilize the structure and prevent it from sinking or collapsing. Footing excavation is necessary to dig trenches for this essential support. To meet this need, Case has developed machinery perfect for the job. The Case CX57C and CX60C Mini Excavators are ideal for residential footings and small commercial buildings, while the CX75 and CX80C Midi Excavators are often used for larger projects. CMI Case offers all four of these vehicles for sale.
- Earth Excavation
Earth Excavation involves removing the spoil, which is the layer of earth directly below the topsoil. This process is necessary so that the spoil can be used to construct embankments, foundations, bridges, and ditches. Due to the nature of this work, larger excavators with greater bucket capacity are often recommended. The Case CX300D and CX500D are perfect for earth excavation.
- Cut and Fill Excavation
Cut and fill Excavation, which involves removing topsoil and spoil to form embankments, raise sections of land, and create foundation filling, often requires large, heavy-duty excavators. This is why CMI carries extremely reliable machinery such as the Case CX140 and CX500D, which can easily complete such work on a daily basis.
- Trench Excavation
Trench Excavation is similar to footing excavation but applies to a broader range of applications. Trench excavation is used to dig trenches for sewer and pipeline installations, as well as for telephone and electric lines. Since trench excavation is done in stages to prevent deeper trenches from collapsing, it’s important to have equipment that can operate in smaller areas. For utility construction in tight spaces, the short tail radius models of the Case excavator line are ideal. This includes the Case CX60C, CX80C, CX145D SR, and CX245D SR.
- Dredge Excavation
Dredge Excavation is designed to remove debris from the bottom of bodies of water, allowing boats and other vessels to pass without scraping their hulls or getting stuck on obstructions. This type of excavation requires long-reach equipment, and Case’s long-reach heavy-duty excavators are perfect for the job. The Case CX220E and CX260E Long Reach models effectively meet the needs of dredge excavation.
- Muck Excavation
Muck, a mixture of soil and water, is present on many job sites and often needs to be removed to allow work to continue. Removing muck is crucial for drying out the area or relocating it as needed. All Case excavators can be used for muck removal, depending on the size of the project. Contact a CMI salesperson to find the right machinery for your muck removal needs.
- Basement Excavation
Basement excavation involves digging up a large area of soil, dirt, and rock to create space for installing basements or other underground structures. Due to the often limited space, basement excavation generally requires mid-size excavators. This makes machinery like the Case CX80C or the CX210 perfect for the job.
10. Borrow Excavation
Borrow excavation occurs when materials need to be moved from one job site to another. To ensure that dirt, sand, or soil is moved and loaded into trucks efficiently and safely using large excavators with big buckets is ideal. The Case CX210 and the CX750D Heavy Duty Excavators with buckets ranging in size from 36”-96” Mass Excavation can be utilized in this application.
