Specialist Excavation, Shafts & Timber Headings

DAACE brings specialist excavation experience to shafts, deep excavations and restricted-access sites.

This experience includes excavating cofferdams, digging deep shafts, installing timber headings and constructing small hand-dig tunnels.

Project requirements are reviewed individually so DAACE can confirm the suitable approach and scope on enquiry.
