#Excavate the LID feature from the outside-in whenever possible. A standard excavator (10-45 tons) has a longer reach than mini (<6 tons) or midi excavators (6-10 tons) and can be the best choice despite its weight, since it may not need to enter into the facility’s footprint to complete the job. However, a mini excavator would be the best choice if entry into the LID feature’s footprint is necessary. | #Excavate the LID feature from the outside-in whenever possible.
