Basement excavations in Alberta
Basement excavations in Alberta
(OP)
Hi guys.
I'm looking at a residential walkway (pavers) that was presumably damaged when the adjoining property was redeveloped for a larger residence and basement. From the photographs it appears that the contractor made a near vertical cut at the property line in order to construct the basement foundation wall.
I've been working in Alberta (Edmonton) for a few years now and in the past I have been a bit surprised to see this type of excavation performed in the winter when the ground was frozen. This is the first time I have seen it done in the summer and I'm wondering if this is a common practice.
TIA

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
