What is Site Benching & Excavation?

Site benching and excavation involve grading and shaping the land to create level building surfaces or stepped terraces on sloped land.
These techniques are essential for:

Creating stable foundations for buildings, roads, and infrastructure
Preventing soil erosion and landslides on sloped construction sites
Ensuring proper drainage and soil compaction for long-term stability
Preparing land for deep foundation work, piling, or retaining walls
