What are the most likely goals and objectives of excavation?

Goals - Purpose of an action. Objectives- how you are going to do it. With that said, what are the goals and objectives of site excavation. In other words why do we dig a hole in the ground and how is that done when building a structure ?

1. Your question is far too vague. 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.
