History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 238910-06 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Excavating Contractors have been around for centuries, with the earliest recorded use of excavation dating back to ancient Egypt, where workers used primitive tools to dig canals and irrigation systems. In the 19th century, the invention of steam-powered excavation equipment revolutionized the industry, making it possible to dig deeper and faster than ever before. The 20th century saw the introduction of hydraulic excavators, which further increased efficiency and productivity. In recent years, the industry has continued to evolve with the development of GPS technology, which allows for more precise digging and grading. In the United States, the industry has seen significant growth since the mid-20th century, driven by the construction boom of the post-World War II era. Today, excavating contractors play a vital role in the construction industry, providing the foundation for everything from roads and bridges to buildings and homes.
