Excavation & Shoring

DSM delivers high-output excavation for complex residential, commercial, and civil projects, combining experienced operators, modern machine control, and a large heavy-equipment fleet.

Built for difficult soil conditions and demanding schedules — from deep parkade digs to large-scale civil earthmoving, with shoring coordinated at every stage.

Complete structural earthworks

We handle bulk and detailed excavation for high-stakes builds — from deep underground parkades to wide commercial foundations. Crews work to engineered grades and coordinate shoring so the dig stays safe, stable, and on schedule, even in tight or challenging ground.

Capabilities 07
  • Bulk excavation
  • Parkades and foundations
  • Cut and fill balancing
  • Shoring coordination
  • GPS-guided grading
  • Contaminated material handling
  • High-volume export
Equipment Fleet 50+ Heavy machines & attachments
Field Experience 35+ Years moving ground in BC
Machine Control GPS Guided grading & cut / fill
Production Capacity
High-volume earthmoving output
01

Bulk & structural dig

Large-volume excavation and precise structural digs for foundations, parkades, and below-grade works.

02

Deep excavation support

Coordinated shoring and retention for deep, tight, or load-sensitive excavations next to existing structures.

03

Cut & fill management

Balancing material on-site to reduce import and export, controlling cost and keeping production moving.

How the work flows
1
Survey & plan

Confirm grades, soil conditions, and shoring needs against the engineered drawings.

2
Strip & bulk dig

Remove overburden and move primary volume with GPS-guided machines.

3
Shore & support

Install retention and stabilize as depth increases to keep the dig safe.

4
Trim & hand-off

Fine-grade to spec and hand a clean, builder-ready base to the next trade.

Site Preparation

Before construction begins, DSM prepares the site for safe access, clean staging, proper drainage, and efficient production.

We turn raw or congested land into a clean, well-graded, builder-ready pad — handling clearing, grading, drainage, and access in one coordinated scope.

Builder-ready groundwork

We deliver the full first phase of a project: clearing the lot, shaping the ground to grade, building access for heavy logistics, and putting drainage and erosion control in place. One coordinated crew gets the site from untouched to ready.

Capabilities 08
  • Lot clearing
  • Rough grading
  • Subgrade preparation
  • Temporary access roads
  • Drainage and swales
  • Erosion control
  • Material import / export
  • Staging and laydown preparation

Scope 1 Coordinated crew, phase one
Access Haul Roads built for heavy logistics
Drainage Swales Temporary drainage & erosion control
01

Clearing & grading

Strip vegetation, debris, and obstacles, then shape the ground to a clean, accurate working grade.

02

Drainage & erosion control

Swales and temporary drainage protect the pad and keep the site compliant through wet weather.

03

Access & staging

Haul roads, laydown, and staging areas built so the rest of the build runs efficiently and safely.

How the work flows
1
Clear

Remove timber, brush, and debris to open up the working area.

2
Grade

Shape ground and prepare subgrade to the engineered levels.

3
Drain & protect

Install swales, temporary drainage, and erosion control.

4
Site ready

Access roads and staging in place for a smooth build start.

Logistics / 03

Trucking & Haulage

DSM supports excavation and civil work with integrated trucking capacity, moving soil, aggregates, and construction materials with reliable coordination.

Our in-house dump truck fleet keeps material moving in step with the dig — so excavators keep working and sites keep producing.

Integrated material logistics

We run a versatile in-house dump truck fleet — tandem, transfer, t-tri, and end dump — matched to the road conditions and access of each site. Because the trucks are dispatched in-house, loading and hauling stay in sync with the excavation instead of waiting on outside haulers.

Capabilities 08
  • Soil export
  • Gravel and aggregate import
  • Tandem trucking
  • Transfer trucking
  • T-tri trucking
  • End dump hauling
  • Dump site coordination
  • Fleet-supported production
Dump Trucks Fleet Owned and operated in-house
Configurations 4 Tandem · transfer · t-tri · end dump
Dispatch In-house Hauling synced to the dig
Fleet Utilization
Material moving without bottlenecks
01

In-house fleet

Company trucks in multiple configurations, ready to scale haulage up or down with the job.

02

Material movement

Soil export and aggregate import handled directly, keeping spoil and supply flowing on site.

03

Coordinated production

Trucking dispatched alongside excavation so machines stay loaded and crews keep moving.

How the work flows
1
Load

Trucks loaded on site directly from our excavation crews.

2
Haul

Soil and aggregate moved with the right truck for the route.

3
Dump coordination

Disposal and supply sites managed to keep cycles tight.

4
Return cycle

Trucks cycle back in step with the dig to avoid idle time.
