  • Moving Mountains: Mass Excavating And When To Use Alternative Methods

    Large earthmoving projects are full of challenges and demand large equipment. Most large earthmoving projects either use scrapers or excavators and rock trucks.

    “I prefer to use large excavators and rock trucks,” says Lou DeVuono, project supervisor, MGI Construction Corp. (MGI). Even when doing large open cuts, such as excavation for subdivision developments, DeVuono says his preference is for large excavators and rock trucks. The company uses 30- to 40-ton truck rock trucks, 30+-ton excavators and a few 40-ton excavators with long reach capabilities for deep digging.
