  • This summer, we stopped to see DC Excavation during the BuildWitt Roadshow. Located in Bozeman, Montana, they grow more and more every year I see them.
    Dane at DC has always invested in the latest and greatest and is a big fan of branding that stands out. He's got tilt rotators, Trimble 3D, and some SWEET black machines.
    In this video, they're preparing a site for multi-family housing. Because of the high water table, they had to get creative regarding dewatering for the utility installation.
    You can learn more about DC by following them on IG at @dcexcavation or by checking out their website at www.dcexcavation.com/

    Side dumps are preferred in northern states because even during freezing temp's its easier to get moist material out than through a belly dump after being OH to where ever the material is being taken to.. And you don't have as many people working on 1 crew up north and a driver can visually see where they are dumping vs having to have a spotter tell you when.

    Bozemaner here. They like side dumps around here for the reason that many haul up to the Yellowstone club/big sky where there’s not always room to move around when unloading, side dumps can just sit in one spot and unload then drive away. Limited space unloading on the mountain side.
