digging work
Digging work is OK, but I can't find "hollow volume work", at least with a
simple search. Let me try further and I'll post another answer If I can find anything of interest !

Comment: "J'ai l'impression qu'en fait il fallait comprendre non pas travaux consistant à faire des excavations mais travaux ayant lieu dans des excavations et travaux ayant lieu dans des volumes creux (tunnels, galeries par exemple).
J'ai moi-même induit les gens en erreur. Je voulais surtout savoir si quelqu'un connaissait cette expression : "travaux en volume creux" mais apparemment ... Merci pour votre aide , merci à tous.

Excavation works
Excavation is unearthing/digging and
in contracts mostly used as Excavation works.
Butsecond "volume creux"may be to unearth /excavate volumes, in fact such jobs made( or subcontracted to others ) on the basis of volume works, That is they are paid on the basis of cubic meters they removed/unearthed. it seems to indicate the same thing . perhaps
Cubic/ cubage works
