Foundation Excavation
Precise excavation to start at the right level.
Foundation Excavation
Excavating a new or existing foundation requires a precise assessment of levels, access points, soil conditions, and water flow. When working near a building, each step must also protect the structure and existing utilities.
JEV carries out foundation excavation, controlled exposure of existing walls, and preparation of the excavation base using equipment suited to the dimensions, access points, and site constraints.
Foundations and Basements for New Accueils
From site layout to the bottom of the excavation, JEV prepares the site so that footings, formwork, and construction phases can begin on a precise and well-organized base.
What the service may include
- Preparation and securing of access points
- Controlled opening of the work area
- Mechanical excavation and manual finishing near the building
- Exposure of existing foundations
- Separate management of soil to be retained and soil to be removed
- Grading and preparation of the excavation bottom
- Temporary management of surface water when necessary
- Preparation prior to foundation restoration, protection, or waterproofing
Precision Before Volume
Excavation near a building must be precise and carried out progressively. The work must follow available reference points and plans while adapting to the conditions actually encountered, without compromising the foundation or existing utilities.

How We Work
01
Confirm and Secure
Reference points, levels, site access points, existing utilities and the space required for equipment are verified and confirmed before excavation begins.
02
Excavate in Stages
Soil is removed in a controlled manner, with manual finishing when the proximity to the building requires it.
03
Prepare for the Next Phase
The foundation and the bottom of the excavation are left accessible and prepared for any planned repair, protection, or construction work.
The four photos show an actual job site near an existing foundation. JEV’s ability to prepare new foundations is clearly demonstrated in the content, without using any staged project photos.
Do you need to excavate or clear a foundation?
Please send us the available plans and information regarding site access. We will then be able to assess the appropriate equipment and method.
