Brunswick Landing — the former Naval Air Station — has transformed into one of the largest redevelopment zones in Cumberland County, and the construction there spans commercial buildings, residential subdivisions, institutional facilities, and infrastructure work across hundreds of acres of previously restricted land. Excavation on the Landing involves working through the base's old utility grid, compacted runway subbase, and soils that range from well-drained sand to heavy clay depending on which section of the property you're on. Contractors there need equipment that can handle the diversity.

Downtown Brunswick along Maine Street and the surrounding residential neighborhoods present a different excavation profile entirely. The lots are mature, often with large trees, stone retaining walls, and 19th-century foundations that complicate any dig work. Bowdoin College's ongoing campus improvements add institutional-scale projects to the mix. The Cook's Corner commercial area on Route 24 sees tenant buildouts and site improvements on a regular cycle, while the Bath Road corridor generates both commercial and residential excavation demand.

The Mere Point and Simpson's Point peninsulas extend into Casco Bay and feature rocky coastal soils, ledge at shallow depths, and the access constraints that come with narrow peninsula roads. Seasonal and year-round residential construction on these peninsulas requires precise, compact equipment. Our CAT 313GC handles both the open-site grading at Brunswick Landing and the tight-quarters work on a Mere Point lot.

Brunswick sits at the northern edge of Cumberland County, bordering Harpswell to the south and Freeport to the west. Caisson Equipment provides excavator rental with delivery to Brunswick job sites — call to book your machine.
