Earthwork, perhaps, is one of the first, which man has mastered. After all, to build even a primitive dwelling, it was necessary to develop the soil. Even then, people understood that in order for the dwelling to be durable, according to ancient standards, of course, it must be properly built, ie. Without distortions and on a flat plot of land. As for modern construction, even an even piece of land is amenable to additional processing to compact the soil.
Development in the conditions of construction
Modern high-rise buildings make their demands on the basis of buildings, which is always the foundation laid in the foundation pit. As a rule, on such large-scale construction projects, the excavator develops the soil in view of the large volumes of work. Only in some cases is it possible to use manual Forces, but only in those places where the excavator, due to the existing reasons, connected with the lack of access roads, can not reach the place where it is necessary to develop the soil or if necessary the improvement of landscape design. In other cases, the excavator copes well with the ground, extracting it from the excavation and immediately immersing it in a truck for further utilization, since the excavated soil is not needed on the construction site and will only interfere with the construction process. In addition, that the excavator can load soil into the car, it can scatter it on the construction site, if it is necessary to make embankments for landscape design. In this work, bulldozers and even human strength are good, since precise and aesthetic soil development with the help of technology is impossible.
Development in the private sector
As far as the private sector is concerned, mainly the development of soil is carried out manually, Due to the lack of large amounts of work associated with the ground. Even for In order to dig trenches under the foundation of the future house, it is not necessary to cause an excavator, as they can be dig out by yourself. Unlike multi-storey houses, where the foundation is deeply embedded in the ground, a single-storey house does not require such a serious attitude to the foundation and the depth of its laying is insignificant. Of course, for faster preparation of soil for the construction of the foundation, you can order an excavator, which will perform all the work planned to be performed manually for two days in two hours. But it is worth remembering that, depending on the density of private sector development, construction equipment may not be able to work on site because of limited space.
The development of soil in the private sector for the construction of communication lines along the streets is carried out with the help of an excavator, and on site, in most cases, manually. After all, basically, on each site there is an orchard, which is the main obstacle on the way to the residential building. Therefore, armed with a shovel, the owner of the site himself makes a trench for communications. The work, of course, is not easy, but the distance from the fence to the house is not so great as to ruin the fruit trees.
