Frequently asked questions

Which details support an excavation request in Herisau?

Describe the intended area, depth and purpose, with available site or utility plans. Explain machine access, ground slopes and nearby buildings. Ask who will confirm buried service locations and assess the ground before excavation; do not dig to locate cables or pipes yourself.

What needs checking before digging on a plot?

Known services, boundaries, ground conditions and nearby structures need assessment before excavation. Provide available utility and site plans and identify any previous surveys. Ask who confirms service locations and the necessary site protections; do not begin exploratory digging around suspected cables or pipes yourself.

What should I compare in excavation contractor quotes?

Compare excavation, ground support, soil handling and any drainage or backfilling. Distinguish removal from storage on site, and ask how unsuitable or unexpected material is assessed. Machinery access, protecting nearby structures and reinstating agreed areas should appear in the same scope.

How should I prepare for the excavation contractor visit or work?

Provide plans and photographs showing access, slopes and neighbouring buildings. Identify places that must remain usable and any restrictions on vehicle movement. Agree material storage or removal routes before machinery arrives, leaving assessment of buried services and ground stability to the responsible specialists.
