The Crew Behind the Work
Glacier Excavating is an earthwork business based in Eureka, Montana, specialized in stream restoration and wetland mitigation since 2004.
About Us
Welcome to Glacier Excavating
Glacier Excavating employs about 12 people during a work season, with several operators carrying over 15,000 hours of equipment experience. Key personnel have worked together for years, building floodplains, shaping channels, installing bank stabilization structures, and handling revegetation and water diversion. Owner Bob Cuffe coordinates every project with oversight personnel and project representatives, and has more than 18 years in stream restoration and water quality work. In 2015, the Montana Chapter of the American Fisheries Society presented Bob with its Outstanding Individual Award for his contribution to the protection and enhancement of fisheries resources in Montana.
Our Approach
Every project begins with a dewatering plan, a staging area, and identifying paths of least disturbance. Equipment routes are planned to minimize disturbance to existing vegetation and soils. The goal on every restoration is to reduce construction impact and maximize the potential for permanent, rapid stabilization.
