NBC 9.12 Excavation Requirements

Depth Requirements

  • Heated basement: Min 1.2m in clay soils
  • Unheated space: Below frost line (1.4-1.8m)
  • All excavations: To undisturbed soil
  • Concrete steps: Below frost if >2 risers

Site Preparation

  • Remove: All topsoil & organic matter
  • Termite areas: Remove roots to 300mm depth
  • Keep dry: No standing water permitted
  • Winter: Protect from freezing

Critical: Standing water reduces soil bearing capacity and causes frost heave. Frozen excavation bottoms lead to differential settlement and foundation damage.
