EXCAVATION
Excavation is most commonly and best known for a technique within the science of
archaeology. The individual types of excavation are known simply as digs to those
who participate, with this being an over literal description of the process. An
excavation concerns itself with a specific archaeological site or connected series of
sites, and may be carried on over a number of years, since the work is normally
seasonal. Within the industry of excavation, many more techniques may be utilized,
with each dig having its own particular features that may necessitate differences of
approach.
Initially, excavation involves the removal of any topsoil that is uncovered by
machine. What is dug up may be examined by a metal detector for stray finds but
unless the excavation site has remained untouched for a long period of time, there is
as mall layer of modern material on the surface that is of limited archaeological
interest. In rural areas, any type of archaeological features should be visible beneath
the surface. With urban areas, they may be thick layers of human deposits and only
the uppermost will be visible to the naked eye. With either case, the first task is
drawing a scaled site plan that will show the edges of the excavation.
Excavation is also useful for digging out houses and trenches. When clearing dirt out
for roads or sub divisions, excavation is what takes care of things. Even though there
are a few means, the term excavation is used anytime that the earth or dirt is
disturbed.
Heavy machinery is also very common with excavation, such as excavators or
backhoes. Excavating crews run the equipment and dig up soil and rocks for
whatever the purpose may be. Excavators are the most used machinery, as they can
move a lot of dirt in a little bit of time.
Anytime you are taking part in excavation, you should always use common sense and
be safe. If you plan to get down into a hole or trench, you should always use a trench
box. Even though the hole may not be that deep, excavation sites can always cave in
and at that point – things are very dangerous and possibly even deadly.
For digging up rare artifacts or putting in houses or roads, excavation is something
that has been around for years and years. There is a lot to learn with excavation, as
you’ll need to know how to run machinery, shoot grade, and how to properly dig
holes and trenches so they won’t cave in.
SCOPE
There is a huge scope for the Excavation equipment market in India given the
country’s increasing focus on a number of key infrastructure projects. Indian
Earthmoving and construction Equipment Industry (ECE), is at a water shed in its
evolution and all set to experience strong growth, spurred by the nation’s rapid
economic development. It has the potential of approximately US$ 12-13 billion by
2015, growing at 30 per cent. This is in tune with global demand for construction
machinery, which is for cast to climb six per cent per year to $130 billion in 2011.
Product sales will be fuelled by healthy economic growth, ongoing
industrialization efforts, rising population and higher standers of living in
developing parts of the world, leading to substantial increase in construction
spending. However, the Indian construction equipment industry has evolved
primarily on the basis of domestic demand generated over various plan periods,
essentially on the basis of investments which have gone into mining, infrastructure
development and the building and construction sector.
Vipin Sondhi,MD & CEO, JCB India Ltd, on the occasion of celebrating
manufacturing and selling 100,000 machines in India, ”JCB”s over 750 crore
investments in its Pune and Ballabgarh plants position us very well to take
advantage of the ever growing demand for construction equipment in India. JCB
today is the market leader in construction equipment sector in India with over 50
per cent market share. The Company is also gaining strength in the Tracked
Excavator, Compaction, equipment and wheeled Loading, Shovel segment across
India.”
According to reports, Volvo India was quoted as saying that “The construction
equipment market in India is expected to reach Rs. 2500 crore by the end 2010 and
we are aiming to capture 10 per cent of this market . There is a huge scope for the
construction equipment market in India given in the country’s increasing focus on
sectors like mining and infrastructure.
With the industry booming, a lot of new areas are emerging, which present good
growth potential for the future. For instance, the rental segment is expected to grow
about 25 per cent by 2010. Currently, equipment rentals contribute to jet over 2 per
cent of the market. The leasing segment is equally promising as it is estimated to
grow by 8 per cent in 2010 from present 2 per cent. Export is another promising
section where a number of players are betting big. Exports of Construction
Equipment (CE) from India grew by 30 per cent CAGR over 2001-05 and are
expected to sustain this growth in the future.
GROWTH OF THE INDUSTRY The Indian excavation/construction equipment has been growing at a
scorching pace of more than 30 percent per annum
The demand for construction equipment’s correlated with ports, pipelines,
roads, steels, power projects, mining and building etc. which attract an
investment of more than 500 billion in next few years.
Equipment cost as a part of construction cost ranges from 4.5 percent to 24
percent.
MARKET ANALYSIS The sector has seen a double-digit growth in its sales turnover for the past two
years with a phenomenal 33 percent growth in the previous year. The growth was
seen more in the mining equipment segment. There was comparatively lesser
growth seen in the construction and road making machinery. This may be viewed
in the context of the tapering off in demand under the national highway
development programme from the end of 2003.
The order backlog for the industry is Rs.3,400 crores as on 31st March 2005 which
is more than 50 percent of the projected sales of the industry for 2005-06. The
domestic demand in 2004-05 was Rs.6,300 crores and it is estimated that the
demand in 2005-06 will be in excess of Rs.7,000 crores. Exports were to the tune
of Rs.280 crores in 2003-04 and Rs.330 crores in 2004-05. The industry is
presently focused on meeting domestic requirements and is also striving to be
competitive in the world market.However for construction/excavation equipment
industry, the pricing of the product is not a major factor that would affect the
demand of the product. The construction equipment’s mostly used in
manufacturing process industry are a necessity for many process industries. Their
only major requirement would be the specifications and quality of the equipment
as even small variations can create problems in their process and thereby the end
products.
MARKET SHARE OF VARIOUS SEGMENTS World’s seventh largest country by area and second biggest by population makes
India one of the most dynamically growing and still, largely untapped construction
equipment industry. The country has witnessed massive investment in the
construction industry from both public and private enterprises in recent years.
Multibillion dollar investments made in constructing roads, ports, power plants,
telecommunication sector, urban infrastructural developments, etc have paved the
way for construction equipment’s demand to grow substantially in recent years.
TYPES OF BLACKHOE LOADERS
Caterpillar
Caterpillar hit a dial of power and performance with its top of the line 446 backhoe
loader when it first introduced the D series version of the machine. The102 HP
machine also features a new operator station and offers optional joystick controls.
The dig forces on the bucket have increased 10% on the backhoe.
Bobcat
Bobcat gave its compact backhoe loaders a power boost when the company
introduced the second generation B series to the lineup. The 31.5 HP B100 receive a
45% increase in backhoe bucket breakout force and a 27% jump in the breakout force
of the dipper.
The 46 HP B300 received a 44% increase in dipper breakout force and a 21% boost
in the break out force of the bucket. The three model line also includes the B250,
which is a 31.5 HP side shift unit. Similar to the larger B300, the B250 also features
all wheel steering and four wheel drive.
New Holland
Each one of the four models of backhoe loaders in the New Holland lineup use the
new 4.5 liter turbo charged Tier 2 engine. This new engine and a number of other
upgrades were the basis for the B series machines, which offer low effort pilot
controls which will give you a choice between excavator or loader style patterns.
Case
Case added quite a bit to its M series backhoe loaders, by switching to family 3
engines to meet Tier 2 emission standards. The new machines of the M series have
quieter, larger displacement engines for better lugging capacity. They also have
increased torque rise for faster cycles of loader and backhoe operations. With 500
hour intervals of oil changes and easy to access transmission mounted hydraulic
pumps, the M series is surely a force to be reckoned with in the world of backhoes.
Ingersoll-Rand
The newest compact backhoe loader from this company can reach digging depths of
up to 12feet with its backhoe. Working as a loader, theBL-580 has an operating
capacity of 3,406 pounds with a breakout force of 9,370 pounds.
Both the loader and backhoe are equipped with standard auxiliary hydraulics with a
two way flow to accommodate a variety of attachments, which includes booms,
breakers, augers, and even compactors. Other nifty features include hydrostatic four
wheel drive for power and traction, and all wheel steering for a tight radius.
Komatsu
Komatsu announced that the optional excavator style joystick controls would be
offered on its five model lineup of backhoes. The lineup has also been upgraded with
increased hydraulic speed, stronger components, and Tier 2 engines. The entire
Komatsu line consists of the 87 HP WB140series, and the 94 HP WB150 series.
The standard model found with each series features a four speed mechanical
transmission complete with a torque converter. The fifth model from Komatsu is the
WB150, with offers an all-star wheel design with a power shift transmission and anti-
theft prevention system.
John Deere
The 410H is the hallmark of John Deere, offering92 HP. The 410H also offers the
total machine control system, which integrates control for the engine, transmission,
hydraulics, and brakes so that the system can respond in an efficient way to the many
different job demands.
Terex
Since acquiring the Fermec line, Terex has marketed a full and impressive line of
backhoes. The models include the 92 HP TX760B and the 100 HPTX860B. At 100
HP as well are the 860SX, 860 Elite, and the 970 Elite. Both the 760 and 860 models
feature four speed shuttle gearboxes and travel speeds of up to 25.8 miles per hour.
Cranes
A crane is a tower or derrick that is equipped with cables and pulleys that are used to
lift and lower material. They are commonly used in the construction industry and in
the manufacturing of heavy equipment. Cranes for construction are normally
temporary structures, either fixed to the ground or mounted on a purpose built
vehicle.
They can either be controlled from an operator in a cab that travels along with the
crane, by a pushbutton pendant control station, or by radio type controls. The crane
operator is ultimately responsible for the safety of the crews and the crane.
Medieval cranes
Cranes of the Middle Ages were used to build the cathedrals of Europe. The crane
was fixed on top of a wall as it was being constructed and was powered by men that
ran inside of two large wheel son each side. Cranes were also used in medieval port
sand in shipyards.
Mobile cranes
The most basic type of crane consists of a steel truss or telescopic boom mounted on
a mobile platform, which could be a rail, wheeled, or even on a cat truck. The boom
is hinged at the bottom and can be either raised or lowered by cables or hydraulic
cylinders.
Telescopic crane
This type of crane offers a boom that consists of a number of tubes fitted one inside
of the other. A hydraulic mechanism extends or retracts the tubes to increase or
decrease the length of the boom.
Tower crane the tower crane is a modern form of a balance crane. When fixed to the
ground, tower cranes will often give the best combination of height and lifting
capacity and are also used when constructing tall buildings.
Truck mounted crane
Cranes mounted on a rubber tire truck will provide great mobility. Outriggers that
extend vertically or horizontally are used to level and stabilize the crane during
hoisting. Rough terrain crane .A crane that is mounted on an undercarriage with four
rubber tires, designed for operations off road.
The outriggers extend vertically and horizontally to level and stabilize the crane when
hoisting. These types of cranes are single engine machines where the same engine is
used for powering the undercarriage as it is for powering the crane. In these types of
cranes, the engine is normally mounted in the undercarriage rather than in the upper
portion.
Loader crane
A loader crane is a hydraulically powered articulated arm fitted to a trailer, used to
load equipment onto a trailer. The numerous sections can be folded into a small
space when the crane isn’t in use.
Overhead crane
Also referred to as a suspended crane, this type is normally used in a factory, with
some of them being able to lift very heavy loads. The hoist is set on a trolley which
will move in one direction along one or two beams, which move at angles to that
direction along elevated or ground level tracks, often mounted along the side of an
assembly area.
In the excavation world, cranes are used to move equipment or machinery. Cranes
can quickly and easily move machinery into trenches or down steep hills, or even
pipe. There are many types of cranes available, serving everything from excavation
to road work.
Cranes are also beneficial to building bridges or construction. For many years, cranes
have proven to be an asset to the industry of construction and excavating. Crane
operators make really good money, no matter what type of crane they are operating.
Compact Excavator
The compact hydraulic excavator can be a tracked or wheeled vehicle with an
approximate operating weight of 13,300 pounds. Normally, it includes a standard
backfill blade and features an independent boom swing. The compact hydraulic
excavator is also known as a mini excavator.
A compact hydraulic excavator is different from other types of heavy machinery in
the sense that all movement and functions of the machine are accomplished through
the transfer of hydraulic fluid. The workgroup and blade are activated by hydraulic
fluid acting upon hydraulic cylinders. The rotation and travel functions are also
activated by hydraulic fluid powering hydraulic motors.
Most types of compact hydraulic excavators have three assemblies – house,
undercarriage, and the work group
.

Concurrent Development: An Integrated Design Concept In the conventional approach to design, the task of the
designers is over as soon as the blueprints are handed to
the manufacturing department. KOBELCO Construction
Machinery has abandoned this approach in favor of
concurrent design, which means that all aspects of
machine production, from quality control through cost
and scheduling, are taken into consideration during the
design stage. In this way, we can deliver high-quality
products to our customers more quickly than ever before.

Holt Manufacturing Company
Holt Manufacturing Company operated from its base in Stockton, California, until
opening a satellite facility in Walla Walla, Washington, to serve the Pacific
Northwest. In 1909, Holt Manufacturing Company expaneded by purchasing the
facility of defunct farm implement maker Colean Manufacturing Company in East
Peoria, Illinois.[8]Holt changed the name of the company to Holt Caterpillar
Company, although he did not trademark the name Caterpillar until 1911.[9]
The company's initial products focused on agricultural machinery and were
distributed internationally. During World War I, almost all of its production
capacity was dedicated to military needs. Its tractors replaced horses and were
widely used by the Allies as artillery tractors and for hauling supplies. British
General Ernest Sw into recognized in the Holt tractor the potential for a power-
driven, bullet-proof, tracked vehicle that could destroy enemy machine guns,
although the British later chose an English firm to build the first tanks. Holt's
equipment was credited with helping to win the war and its tractor was regarded as
"one of the most important military vehicles of all time." The Holt Manufacturing
Company gained worldwide recognition for the quality and durability of its
equipment.
As the war ended, the Holt company was left with huge surplus inventories of
heavy-duty tractors ill-suited for the agricultural market, which had been
dominated during the war by the Holt Company's primary competitor, C. L. Best.
The company decided to focus instead on heavy construction equipment and
sought to capitalize on the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1921. Laden
with debt and needing more capital to switch its product line, the company
struggled to move forward.
Both the Holt Manufacturing Company and C. L. Best were hurt by the depression
of 1920–21 which further inhibited sales. Both companies streamlined their over-
lapping product lines.
The two companies had spent about US$1.5 million (about $18,794,286 today) in
legal fees fighting each other in various contractual, trademark and patent
infringement lawsuits since 1905, but, on the advice of investors, the two
companies merged in 1925 to form the Caterpillar Tractor Co. In 2010, Caterpillar,
Inc., was the 229th largest company in the world.

Orenstein & Koppel Orenstein & Koppel (normally abbreviated to "O&K") is a
major German engineering company specializing in railway vehicles, escalators,
and heavy equipment. It was founded on April 1, 1876 in Berlin by Benno
Orenstein and Arthur Koppel.
Originally a general engineering company, O&K soon started to specialize in the
manufacture of railway vehicles. The company also manufactured heavy
equipment and escalators. O&K pulled out of the railway business in 1981. Its
escalator-manufacturing division was spun off to the company's majority
shareholder at the time, Friedrich Krupp AG Hoesch-Krupp, in 1996, leaving the
company to focus primarily on construction machines. The construction-equipment
business was sold to New Holland Construction, at the time part of the Fiat Group,
in 1999.
O&K expanded to build freight and passenger cars, and above all, excavators for
construction. The company also built other heavy equipment, including graders,
dump trucks, forklift trucks, compressors, crawler loaders, wheeled loaders, road
rollers, and truck cranes.
The company also began manufacturing escalators, transmissions, rapid-transit
railway lines, buses, tractors, and cargo ships. Passenger liners, shipboard cranes,
and shipbuilding enterprises rounded out the company's profile. Because of the
company's thriving export business, a worldwide system of branch offices was
created.
In the First World War, O&K built railway engines and cars of all sizes for the
German government. With the collapse of Imperial Germany in November 1918,
the victorious Allies put further restrictions on German manufacturing and military
capacity, seizing all army Feldbahn engines as per the terms of the Versailles
Treaty that ended the First World war. The treaty also removed access to export
markets; at the end of 1925, work stopped for three months as a result of the lost
business. By 1935, business had recovered and the company produced 5,299
locomotives. After the war, O&K's American subsidiary, the Orenstein-Arthur
Koppel Company, was seized by the Alien Property Custodian and sold at an
auction where only United States citizens were allowed to place bids.

CONCLUSION
The Indian market is catered by about 200 domestic manufacturers (small, medium
& large). Earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment and road
construction equipment are key segments expected to contribute to the bulk of the
growth, driven by construction activity in the parent
To leverage this opportunity, Indian manufacturers need to focus on developing
individual and pooled capabilities to develop global competitiveness across the
sector.
Collaborative endeavors to provide integrated services, industry bodies to promote
the industry’s interests and working with the Government to promote technology
development are some of the key measures to be taken.
Indian construction equipment manufacturers invest very little in Research and
Development (R&D) compared to global majors. Excavation equipment in India is
typically used for 15 to 20 years, indicating the significant potential for
maintenance and service activities, apart from spare parts sales, across the usage
cycle.
Hence a clear focus on service is necessary for companies to grow and remain
competitive. This needs to translate into developing capabilities in training, supply
chain management and distribution reach.
