22 September 2013 You have not specified whether the excavation work is related to original work. Assuming hat it relates to original work please note my answers :-

1. Whether service tax will be charged on any construction work we do.
Answer : The original work by a contractor pertaining to airport is exempted
2. Whether service tax will be charged on machineries we have engaged and also on labour - the service tax is leviable on the value of service which is normally the amount billed or billable
3. since this is a airport work is this services are exempted- the service is an exempted service, the service provided by sub contractor is also exempted

disclaimer- all answers are given as per the facts narrated by you. Answer may differ after study of full facts/statements/agreements etc. involved in the case
