As an excavation contractor in Louisville, KY, DrillTek handles the digging, grading, backfill, and site prep that get a project ready to build, with the right equipment for the scope and the underground work coordinated end to end.
Excavation is the earthwork that gets a site ready to build on, digging, grading, backfill, and site prep. Whether it's a foundation, a utility pit, or a whole pad, the goal is ground that's cut, shaped, and compacted to the numbers on the plan.
We bring the right machine for the scope, from precise pit work around utilities to mass excavation and grading across a larger site. Clean grades and proper compaction now save headaches for every trade that follows.
Because we also run the underground work, the excavation stays coordinated with the bore, the trench, and the locate, one crew, one plan.
We mark what's underground and set the cut lines and grades so the earthwork matches the design.
We dig to line and grade with the right machine for the scope, precise pit work or mass excavation.
We shape the ground to the planned elevations and slopes, ready for foundations or the next trade.
We backfill in lifts and compact to spec so the finished ground holds up under what's built on it.
If the ground needs to be dug, shaped, or brought back to grade, that's excavation. Not sure what your site needs? Call us, we'll tell you straight.
Dig and prep for footings, foundations, and slabs to the depth and grade the plan calls for.
Precise pit excavation for tie-ins, vaults, and access around existing lines.
Shape the site to planned elevations and slopes for drainage and building.
Bring the ground back to grade and compact it to spec once the underground work is in.
From tight pit work to mass excavation, we match the machine to the job instead of forcing a fit.
Accurate grades and slopes give every trade that follows a solid, predictable base.
We run the locate, the bore, and the trench too, so the earthwork lines up with all of it.
