Steven Mezynieski: The Process of Site Excavation

Steven Mezynieski is an experienced site excavator and owner of Southampton Excavation & Site Development. For more than twenty years, he has worked closely with architects, builders, and homeowners to ensure their dream home becomes a reality. The excavation of a site for construction requires the moving of earth, rock, and other material through the use of tools, equipment, and explosives.


Before the process of excavation can begin, the site needs to be examined to ensure the preservation of the natural habitat and artifacts that surround the site. The size and depth of the site must then be determined and a plan must be drawn up to clearly mark the boundaries of the site. 

Once these steps have been completed, the process of excavating the site can begin. The process includes:
·         Placing corner benchmarks.
·         Surveying the ground and top levels.
·         Excavating the site to a permitted depth.
·         Covering the loose, site soil.
·         Making up to the cut-off level.
·         Constructing interconnecting trenches and dewatering wells.
·         Creating the boundaries of the structure.
·         Constructing protection drains and bunds.



Construction excavation requires someone who has experience, skills, and can pay close attention to detail regarding large structures. They are responsible for creating the foundation of the entire project. Steven Mezynieski has earned the reputation for being an experienced and skilled site excavator who is dedicated to providing the highest quality service for his customers.
