Deep excavation equipment
Deep excavation is just what it sounds like - excavation specialized to dig and shape forms for structures requiring deep holes. Ponds & industrial foundations (think skyscrapers, which need very deep, stable bases) are a good example of the sort of structures requiring the unique methods deep excavation is known for. Other uses for deep excavation include the formation and construction of mine shafts.
In technical terms, deep excavation is any sort of excavation which reaches more than 15 feet into the earth. It comes in multiple types, including open, which simply means a hole in the earth dug to a depth of more than 15 feet which is kept intact by the natural slope of its walls, to retained, which involves structural support, and is usually reserved for areas of some population, or for environments in which people are to work, such as mines.

: Confusion of concepts? Basically 2 types of shovel digging equipment: "djupgrävningsaggregat" = a boom with a bucket and teeth turned downwards, and "höggrävningsaggregat"= the bucket is turned upwards.
