 Excavation Equipment
 Bulldozer, scraper- for shallow excavation & for hauling the earth for
relatively short distance
 Power shovel- to excavate earth for all classes except rock and to
load it into wagons.
 Dragline- to excavate soft earth & to deposit in nearby banks or to
load into wagons.
 Clamshell- placing and handling aggregate at a stockpile, dredging
operation. Soft to medium or loose material at or below ground
level.
 Hoe- below existing ground in firm or hard material.

CLAMSHELL
 COMPACTION EQUIPMENT
• Smooth wheeled rollers- 4 to 18 tons. Generally all types
materials. 4-8”
• Pneumatic tired rollers- 50T, non-plastic silts & fine sands. 7-24”
• Sheep foot tired rollers- 20T, clayey soils, silty. 7-12”
• Rammers (self propelled)- small areas where rollers cannot
operate. Such as compaction trenches, foundation and slopes.
• Vibrators- 30T, dry cohesion less granular material. 3-6”
• Watering- compacting cohesion less soil.
