Excavation & Site Work
We move serious amounts of dirt, cut through rock when it shows up, and prepare the site so the foundation crews can actually start building.
Mass Excavation
Large commercial projects often start with moving a lot of soil and rock. Our crews handle mass excavation and site work to bring the property down to the elevations needed for deep foundations, piling systems, and structural concrete.
Rock Excavation
When rock shows up underground, you need the right equipment to deal with it. We perform rock excavation to cut through difficult subsurface conditions so piles, drilled shafts, and foundation systems can be installed where they’re supposed to be.
Environmental Remediation
Some sites require contaminated or unsuitable soil to be removed before construction can begin. We work with environmental engineers to perform environmental remediation excavation, removing impacted material and preparing the property for new development.
Site Drainage & Drywells
Water control is a large part of preparing the property for construction. We install site drainage systems and drywells that manage runoff and groundwater, helping protect foundations and below-grade structures once the project is complete.
The MBI Excavation
Approach
A lot of contractors rush excavation because they’re focused on getting to the “real work”.” Then the foundation crew shows up and can’t do anything because the site’s a mess. We take excavation seriously- proper elevations, stable ground, drainage handled before it becomes a problem. When our crews are done, the next phase can actually begin on schedule instead of spending three days fixing what should have been done right the first time.
45 Years of Staying Power
Forty-five years is a long time in this industry. We’ve been doing this since 1981 because we handle the operational details that sink everyone else. Our equipment works when we show up because we actually maintain it. Our crews know what they’re doing because they’ve been running these jobs for decades, not months. We don’t wait around for materials because we order them before we need them. It’s not complicated, we just don’t operate like amateurs.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Does MBI coordinate excavation with deep foundation and piling work?
Yes. Many MBI projects involve both excavation and deep foundation construction. Our crews prepare the site so piling systems like CFA piles, drilled shafts, and caissons can be installed at the correct elevations without reworking the ground.
What types of projects does MBI typically provide excavation for?
MBI supports commercial developments, infrastructure projects, and waterfront construction across the East Coast. Excavation often prepares sites for deep foundations, piling systems, structural concrete, and marine construction work.
How does MBI handle difficult soil or rock conditions during excavation?
Every site is different. When rock, groundwater, or unstable soil appear, our crews adjust the excavation approach and coordinate with project engineers so the work stays aligned with the structural plans.
Does MBI work with engineers and environmental consultants during site preparation?
Yes. Excavation and environmental remediation often requires coordination with geotechnical engineers and environmental specialists. Our crews follow those recommendations to safely prepare the site for foundation construction.
Why do developers and general contractors choose MBI for excavation and site work?
MBI has been preparing sites for foundations since 1981. That experience helps our crews understand what foundation contractors and structural crews need once excavation is complete, which keeps projects organized from the start.
