Peer comment(s):

agree MariyaN (X) : "Excavation" is definitely much better than my own "digging" - I didn't see your answer, cinefil-san, when I was writing mine.

Digging of the ditches

I would say, it's 側溝 / 掘り / 作業 - literally, "the work of digging of the ditches/gutters". I guess "ditch" should be more approrpiate considering the context (トンネルや地下鉄工事).

side trenching

Apologies for this late reply.
Consider this term for buried pipe line work etc... for which a deep trench has to be dug then filled. Very different work from what is required for draining and guttering...
But the irony is: Googling a 'side trencher' for this kind of work is not so easy. Most of the strikes you get show masses of trenchers centrally aligned, designed like dredgers for land use.. But found 2 below. There are other models, for much heavier work of course. You'll find them! Good luck! :-)
Example sentence:

Small hydraulic excavators [...] have no problem with ordinary digging work, but do encounter problems handling the side trenching work that is common in tunneling, subway construction and urban civil engineering tasks.

Note from asker:
Thank you very much for your reply.
