Welcome to The Excavation Academy. This community is about how the work actually gets done — pipe, prep, compaction, grades, safety, and the details that separate clean jobs from call-backs. No influencer crap. No textbook theory. Just real-world excavation and civil knowledge. 👇 Drop a comment and introduce yourself: Where are you working (city / region)? What do you do right now? (laborer, operator, foreman, owner, etc.) What do you want to get better at this year? This group will grow based on real questions and real problems from the field. Let’s build it properly.

When you joined, you joined before this was anything. Before the curriculum was complete, before the tools were built, before anyone knew what this was going to become. You showed up anyway. That means something. As of today T.E.A. is officially a paid platform. New members joining from this point forward pay to be here. You do not. Your access is free. Forever. That was the deal and the deal stands. Tiers 2 through 4 are in development and rolling out shortly. If you want to bring your crew in at a founding rate before it closes — message me directly. Thank you for being first. — Cody , The Excavation Academy

Please join me in welcoming Mike Callison to The Excavation Academy! Mike is the founder of Rolling Rock Excavation based out of South East Texas, and he's here to grow his knowledge and take his business to the next level. It takes a certain level of self-awareness and commitment to invest in your education while building a company from the ground up — and that is something worth recognizing. Mike, the training, the tools, and this community are here to support you every step of the way. We're glad to have you with us. And Mike — we are continuously rolling out new training modules and tools to better serve our members. As a business owner, your perspective is exactly the kind of feedback we value. If there's something you'd like to see, a gap you notice, or an idea that could make this community more valuable for operators and owners alike, we want to hear it. This platform grows best when it grows with input from the people using it.

Let's start this week off strong. Check out one of our most recent tool launches. It's a manhole to manhole slope calculator. When you know you know. https://theexcavationacademy.github.io/tea-tools/TEA_Manhole_Slope_Calculator.html

Hey - Cody here. Quick question for everyone in the community. If you're a civil excavation business owner or you manage a crew - I want to hear from you directly. I'm building out the next phase of The Excavation Academy specifically around solving the retention and training problems that owners are dealing with right now. The ones that are costing you money every single month. If that's you - reply to this email or drop a comment in the community with one word: OWNER. I'll reach out personally and I want to hear exactly what your biggest crew problem looks like right now. If you're a worker, operator, or pipe layer - keep grinding through Tier 1. The leaderboard is live and the Tier 1 certification is real. Earn it. Let's get to work. Cody The Excavation Academy skool.com/the-excavation-academy-2540
