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 youll need to know how to run machinery, shoot grade, and how to properly dig holes and trenches so they wont cave in.

SCOPE
There is a huge scope for the Excavation equipment market in India given the countrys 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 nations 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, JCBs 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 countrys 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 equipments 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 equipments 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

Worlds 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 equipments 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 antitheft 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 isnt 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

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 powerdriven, 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 192021 which further inhibited sales. Both companies streamlined their overlapping 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 (normally

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

abbreviated to

"O&K")

is

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 industrys 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.
