Professional excavation services across Calgary — from basement dig-outs and utility trenching to full site grading and land clearing for new construction and renovation projects.
Swift Remediation & Contracting provides comprehensive excavation services using modern equipment operated by experienced crews. Whether you need a basement dug out, a site graded for new construction, or trenches opened for utility installation, our team delivers precise, efficient excavation with full compliance with Alberta safety and utility locate requirements.
Full and partial basement dig-outs for new builds and existing home expansions.
Precision grading for drainage compliance, new construction pads, and lot preparation.
Trenches for water, sewer, gas, and electrical installations with shoring as required.
Vegetation removal, stump grinding, and topsoil stripping for development-ready sites.
We handle full and partial basement excavations for both new home construction and existing home expansions. Our excavators work within tight residential lots while protecting neighbouring properties, and we manage soil disposal and compaction testing to ensure your foundation contractor has a properly prepared base to work from.
Proper site grading is essential for long-term drainage performance and foundation health. Our grading services ensure your site drains away from structures, meets City of Calgary grade requirements, and is prepared to accept concrete pads, slab foundations, or landscaping. We use laser-grade equipment for precise elevation control.
Our team opens trenches for water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, gas, and electrical installations. We coordinate utility locates before any digging begins, install shoring and shielding in deeper excavations as required by Alberta OHS, and backfill and compact trenches to the specified standard to prevent settlement.
For new development sites, we provide full land clearing services including tree and vegetation removal, stump grinding, root raking, and topsoil stripping. Material is sorted for disposal or reuse, and the cleared site is graded and compacted to prepare for construction. We work with environmental consultants on sensitive sites where required.
Excavation generates significant volumes of spoil material that must be properly managed. We coordinate hauling with approved disposal facilities and can arrange for clean fill material to be brought in when required for backfill or grade raising. Our in-house fleet reduces scheduling dependencies and keeps your project moving.
