MZB Engineering prepares engineered excavation plans for construction projects requiring temporary cuts, trenches, and other excavations. Our services include slope stability analysis, excavation studies, and excavation plans, with the design developed around project geometry, available space, adjacent improvements, utilities, construction sequencing, and applicable safety requirements.
Our excavation engineering supports contractors on roadway, utility, bridge, and other infrastructure construction. The design approach is project-specific and coordinated with the proposed means and methods, site constraints, and adjacent facilities.
Where an open-cut or sloped excavation is not practical, MZB can also design temporary shoring systems such as cantilever or tie-back shoring, sheet piles, trench boxes, and slide-rail systems, depending on project requirements.
A properly designed excavation plan is the foundation of safe and efficient underground work. At MZB Engineering, we combine technical expertise, safety compliance, and practical field experience to deliver excavation designs that keeps your crew safe and your projects on schedule.

Our excavation engineering is developed and reviewed under the direction of licensed Professional Engineers. Depending on the project, the submittal may include excavation plans, slope stability analysis, supporting calculations, and details for temporary support systems.
Integrated Construction Engineering:
When excavation conditions require additional temporary support, MZB can coordinate the excavation plan with shoring, trench support, bracing, or other construction engineering elements within the same project.
Constructability Focus:
Our goal is to provide clear engineering documents that account for field constraints, construction sequencing, adjacent facilities, and the contractor’s proposed approach.
Commitment to Excellence:
What sets us apart is our strong commitment to staying ahead of evolving industry standards. We continuously ensure that our work reflects the latest guidelines and best practices.

An excavation plan defines the temporary excavation geometry and engineering requirements needed to perform excavation work. Depending on the project, it may address excavation limits, slopes, benching, adjacent utilities and structures, construction sequencing, and temporary support requirements.
Support of excavation refers to temporary systems used when soil must be retained during construction. Depending on project conditions, MZB’s construction engineering services can include cantilever or tie-back shoring, sheet piles, trench boxes, slide rails, and other temporary support systems.
We prepare excavation engineering documents that can be used as part of contractor or agency submittals. When review comments are related to our engineering work, MZB Engineering will address the comments and make the necessary revisions to the plans and calculations as required.
MZB can prepare engineered excavation and trench-related plans within our Construction Engineering Services. The appropriate approach may involve sloping or benching, or a temporary support system such as shoring, trench boxes, or slide rails, depending on the project conditions and applicable requirements.
Typical information includes the proposed excavation location and depth, project plans or profiles, available site information, nearby utilities and structures, construction constraints, and the contractor’s proposed means and methods. The exact information needed depends on the excavation and temporary support requirements.
