Tight access excavation is a technique that is used when there is limited access to a construction site. This type of excavation is often required in urban areas or when working on sites with buildings or other structures close by. Tight access excavation can also be called limited access excavation, micro excavation or mini excavation.
Excavation techniques used in Limited access excavation require specialized equipment that can fit into small spaces. The equipment used for tight access excavation includes mini-excavators, skid-steer loaders, and other specialized machinery. The machinery is designed to manoeuvre through narrow spaces and tight turns, making it possible to excavate in areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Limited Access With A Mini Excavator
Site preparation is a critical aspect of tight access excavation. Prior to beginning excavation, the site needs to be assessed and prepared to ensure that the equipment can be safely manoeuvred. This includes measuring the space and planning the best approach to the excavation. Soil removal is another important factor to consider when planning a tight-access excavation. In most cases, the soil will need to be removed from the site, and the equipment used for this process must also be able to fit into the small space.
Construction excavation is the most common use of tight access excavation. This technique is often used when a new building is being constructed in a confined space. Tight access excavation can also be used for renovation projects, such as when a basement needs to be excavated to create additional living space.
