What we do best

Start With the Right Service for Your Project

Selecting the correct service depends on what needs to happen on the site before construction or installation can proceed. Choosing the wrong starting point leads to delays and rework.

Excavation Services

Excavation is required when your project involves digging below existing ground level for foundations, basements, or grade changes. If your work starts below grade, excavation is the correct starting point.

Earthworks and Site Preparation

Earthworks is required when the site needs to be leveled, built up, or stabilized before construction. This ensures the ground meets the required elevation and can support the structure being built.

Demolition Services

Demolition is required when an existing structure must be removed before new work can begin. This includes buildings, slabs, and site obstructions that prevent excavation.

Trench Installation

Trenching is required when underground utilities need to be installed or connected. This applies to water, sewer, and electrical lines that must be placed below grade.

Why Nexus Earthworks Is Chosen for Excavation and Earthworks in Calgary

Work in Calgary must account for soil conditions, frost depth, and access limitations that affect how excavation and grading are performed. Execution must meet specifications to avoid inspection issues and rework.

Nexus Earthworks is chosen for projects that require accurate grading, consistent execution across phases, and alignment with construction timelines.

Residential Builds

Residential projects typically require foundation excavation and grading aligned with a builder’s timeline. Scope depends on site access and whether the lot is already level or requires prep before excavation begins.

Commercial Site Work

Commercial projects require excavation and site prep that matches engineered plans. These jobs involve larger material movement and stricter grading and compaction requirements to meet inspection standards.

Property Redevelopment

Redevelopment projects involve removing existing structures and preparing the site for new construction. Additional excavation is required before building can start.

Infrastructure and Utility Work

Infrastructure projects focus on trenching and underground installation. Accuracy in depth and compaction is required to prevent settlement and failure after installation.
