I can think of lots of very different reasons for excavation prior to or during construction. Excavation of geological test pits - to test the stability and make up of the ground Excavation of foundations - to provide a base for structures Excavation of borrow pits - to extract material for construction Excavation of service trenches - to bury pipes, cables drains etc Excavation of drainage ditches and sumps - to control water flow and make a site dry enough to work on. Excavation of cuttings - to reduce the gradient on roads, railways, canals etc. Try asking the question again and be a bit more specific about what you need to know.
