Portland Excavation Services
When it comes to constructing a new facility or maintaining a current one, there will almost certainly come a time when you will need to dig into the ground beneath your feet. Excavation is an important task that needs to be carried out with the utmost precision and attention to detail, as a wrong move could damage something important like a utility or sewer line. Likewise, mistakes made in excavation could impact the entire project, resulting in massive delays and cost increases.
