/ The foundation of every build

What happens below ground
determines everything above it.

Excavation sets the levels, exposes the ground conditions, and creates the space for foundations. Get the excavation wrong — wrong depth, wrong levels, disturbed soil, or damaged services — and every stage of construction above is compromised.

METCON coordinates excavation with structural engineers and surveyors. We dig to exact levels, manage ground conditions, protect adjacent structures, and hand over a properly prepared excavation ready for foundation construction.

Whether it's foundation trenches for a house extension, a basement dig-out under an existing building, or bulk earthworks for a commercial development — we bring the right machines, operators, and engineering coordination to every job.

/ Six projects that need professional excavation
New footings and foundations for construction
Foundation trenches, pad footings, strip footings, and slab excavation all need accurate level control and clean formation.
Basement or sub-floor dig-out
Excavating under or adjacent to existing structures requires engineering, underpinning, and careful ground management.
Pool excavation in tight residential sites
Pool digs need accurate dimensions, access planning, spoil removal, and coordination with pool builders and engineers.
Service trenching for utilities
Water, sewer, stormwater, electrical, and gas trenching with proper depths, bedding, and backfill requirements.
Retaining wall foundations
Excavation for retaining wall footings needs accurate levels, drainage provisions, and engineered formation.
Cut-and-fill for level sites
Sloping blocks need cut-and-fill earthworks to create level building platforms with proper compaction and drainage.

/ What we excavate

Every type
of earthwork.

From single footing trenches to full basement excavations, we handle excavation at every scale with precision and control.

01
Foundation Excavation

Trenches, pads, and slab excavation for residential and commercial foundations. Accurate to design levels, clean formation, and engineer-inspected before pouring.

02
Basement Dig-Outs

Excavation under and adjacent to existing buildings for basements and sub-floor space. Engineered retention, underpinning coordination, and groundwater management.

03
Bulk Earthworks

Large-scale cut-and-fill operations for development sites. Level platforms, access roads, drainage grades, and compacted fill to engineering specification.

04
Pool Excavation

Residential and commercial pool excavation to exact dimensions. Access management on tight sites, spoil removal, and coordination with pool shell installers.

05
Service Trenching

Utility trenching for water, sewer, stormwater, electrical, and communications. Correct depths, bedding, and backfill per authority requirements.

06
Spoil Removal

Excavated material loaded, transported, and disposed of to licensed facilities. Clean fill separated and recycled where possible. Waste tracking documented.

/ Our process

Measured.
Controlled. Certified.

Every excavation follows our structured five-step process. Survey control, engineering coordination, and documented formation — every time.

01
Step 01
Survey & Set-Out

Registered surveyor sets out the excavation boundaries and levels. Reference points established for level control throughout the dig.

02
Step 02
Service Location

Underground services located using plans and on-site detection. Services marked, protected, or relocated before excavation begins.

03
Step 03
Excavation

Dig progresses to design levels with ongoing level checks. Batters, retention, and dewatering managed as ground conditions require.

04
Step 04
Formation Inspection

Engineer inspects the excavation formation — soil bearing capacity, level accuracy, and stability. Any issues addressed before construction proceeds.

05
Step 05
Handover

Excavation complete, formation certified, survey as-built provided. Ready for foundation construction, drainage installation, or the next stage.

/ What you get
Accurate excavation —
certified and ready to build on.

Survey set-out, level control documentation, formation inspection records, and engineer sign-off. The foundation of a well-built project.
