Carbon Emission factor for excavation/construction

I was wondering if any design or contractor friend here can kindly share the carbon emission factor of excavation during construction. 

I found a paper that provides energy use rate per cubic meter and associated carbon emission in kgCO2 for different phase of construction such as excavation earth work, pouring and lifting concrete, concrete compaction and etc.  But it is for buildings in Sri Lanka though.
