Though, if you’re looking for an excavating synonym, you may hear words like unearth, shovel, or scrape. A word you may not be as familiar with is aggregate. So, what is the true excavation meaning? Basically uncovering a whole lot of possibilities, words and phrases, like this strange one we just introduced to you here.
Aggregate
Excavating soil; excavating rocks. Ah. Such fun. What about that good ol’ aggregate? Of course, you know we can get technical with you again, so why don’t we! Our friends here at the Encyclopedia Britannica explain it perfectly well. “The aggregate gives volume, stability, resistance to wear or erosion, and other desired physical properties to the finished product. Commonly used aggregates include sand, crushed or broken stone, gravel (pebbles), broken blast-furnace slag, boiler ashes (clinkers), burned shale, and burned clay. Fine aggregate usually consists of sand, crushed stone, or crushed slag screenings; coarse aggregate consists of gravel (pebbles), fragments of broken stone, slag, and other coarse substances. Fine aggregate is used in making thin concrete slabs or other structural members and where a smooth surface is desired; coarse aggregate is used for more massive members.”
So, now that you know a little more about aggregate, you may wonder its importance or even its relevance to excavation. Well, let’s enlighten you then, shall we?

We take pride in our equipment. With machinery that does every job required, we also have large instruments used specifically to break down the old pavement you may be looking to throw out. For us? Blacktop is no trash. We pulverize it in order to recycle and reenforce. But, let’s stay on track here shall we?
We could get all caught up in excavation terms, but let’s fill you in on only two more for now.l you in on only two more for now. Clear and grub, and sub-ex. Now, clear and grub is the process of clearing a site of all vegetation prior to site work and building construction. But you can learn more about that here. And sub-ex, as you may have guessed it, is an excavation underneath something, or the excavation of a subgrade.
