Foundations and earthworks
Digging a foundation pit, moving soil, grading and backfill. If the site needs a new level or a pit, we do that before the next stage of construction.

Excavation with an excavator across Estonia
Foundation pits, trenches, sewerage and water and telecom chambers. Earthworks and drainage come from the same place.
Excavation is the first open stage on a site: a foundation pit, a pipe trench or soil that has to reach the right level. Harju Kopp excavates for houses, developments and companies across Estonia.
Describe the location, the depth and whether the soil stays on site or has to be hauled away. If the same site also needs demolition or a road base, we put them in one sequence.

Trenches, sewerage and chambers
Trenches for water and sewer lines and for power and telecom cables. We install chambers and backfill so the connection to the house is covered as one job.
Drainage around the house
Drainage leads water away from the foundation and the basement. We install drainage pipes, inspection chambers and stormwater drainage while the ground is already open for excavation.
Why order excavation from Harju Kopp?
Excavation, chambers and haulage do not have to sit with three different contractors. Our excavator and operator are on site together.
- Foundation, trenches and chambers from one partner.
- Drainage can be part of the same excavation when water is the problem.
- We include haulage of surplus soil in the quote when the soil will not stay on site.
- Excavation across Estonia.
Frequently asked questions
What does the excavation price depend on?
The price depends on the volume and depth of the dig, the soil, access and whether surplus soil has to be hauled away. We send a quote from the description of the site.
Do utilities have to be checked before excavation?
Yes. Before digging, the location of underground cables and pipes has to be confirmed. On public land an excavation permit is often required as well.
Do a foundation pit and chambers come under the same job?
Yes. Digging a foundation, sewerage and water and telecom chambers are part of excavation. If drainage is also needed beside the pit, we include it in the same quote.
Do you haul away surplus soil?
Yes. Soil haulage can be ordered with the excavation so the pile does not wait on site for a separate haulier.
