Foundation Excavation

The foundation of your project is our specialty. Precise digging, proper benching, and engineered backfill for residential and commercial structures.

Foundation Excavation

A strong structure starts with a precisely excavated foundation. K&B Lewis specializes in foundation digs that meet exact engineering specifications for depth, width, and soil bearing capacity.

We work closely with your engineer and builder to ensure every foundation excavation is executed to plan, with proper benching, shoring, and soil compaction throughout the process. Utah's variable soil conditions — from clay-heavy areas near Provo to sandier soils in parts of Salt Lake City — require expertise in interpreting soil reports and adjusting excavation techniques accordingly.

Our operators understand the critical nature of foundation work. Over-excavation, inadequate compaction, or deviation from engineered dimensions can compromise structural integrity. That's why we employ experienced crews trained in OSHA standards and committed to meeting specifications every time.

From single-family residential basements in the suburbs of Lehi and Draper to multi-story commercial foundations in downtown Salt Lake City, KB Lewis has the expertise to handle foundations of any scale. We coordinate with soils engineers, perform necessary compaction testing, and maintain detailed documentation of all work performed.
