EXCAVATION.

excavation is done to receive the foundation that will be constructed for a building and it is done after setting out and marking out.
It is done using two method;manual and mechanical method.
NOTE: the choice of excavation depends on the size of work and also note that for small construction,it's more economical to use the manual method.

MANUAL METHOD;

it's a normal method quite frequent most of us know but they include pick-axes used to dig up the soil,shovels to remove the dug up soil,spades to level the bottom of the excavation and to load into the wheelbarrow,wheelbarrows to convey the excavated soil away from the excavation area.

Yes exactly. CAPS mean CAPITAL LETTERS. Capital letters mean you are shouting or yelling.

1. SITE CLEARANCE.

After a land has been purchased and construction work is to commence, the first basic thing to do is to clear the site to construct on.
There will definitely be trees,shrubs and other plants to get rid of and it's only done in two ways:
1.MANUAL METHOD,
2.MECHANICAL METHOD.

1.MANUAL METHOD: This involves man's activities on the site clearance with manual tools.
2.MECHANICAL METHOD:This involves the use of machines. NOTE:not all machine (are) to be used depending on how the topography of the land is and other things like maybe the area looks like a forest which will surely require greater services.


WILL CONTINUE,ANY CONTRIBUTION FROM ANY SIDE?
