What is ditching or flat bottom ditching also known for?

Ditching, or flat bottom ditching, is often referred to as slot dozing because it involves creating narrow, flat-bottomed trenches or ditches that are typically used for drainage or irrigation purposes. The term "slot dozing" emphasizes the method being employed, where a crawler tractor equipped with the appropriate blade is used to excavate a precise, defined space in a way that allows for effective soil removal while maintaining the shape needed for functional drainage.

This technique is particularly important in construction and land management as it aids in controlling water flow and preventing erosion. The slot dozing process allows for efficient excavation in tight areas, ensuring that the ditches are both functional and correctly shaped to aid in their intended purpose. Other terms related to ditching may exist, but "slot dozing" is widely recognized as synonymous with this specific type of excavation.
