boxing out (excavations)
Explanation:
I think "excavations" is redundant here. Boxing out is removing old road surface to get to hard core or even lower if the road is to be fully relaid.

Asker: Yes, thanks Matt. Following your lead I found that "Commencement of road construction consisting of boxing out, proof rolling, removal of soft spots, installation of subsoil drainage and importing of quarried road base materials and compaction with testing to achieve required finish levels including final trim for the options of concreting, asphalt or 2-coat seal for commercial and residential projects." (https://axlesearthmoving.com.au/service/road-construction-2/). Excellent answer, you win the kudos today.
