What Site Prep Involves:
Land Clearing
Removal of vegetation: Trees, shrubs, grass, and stumps are cleared from the area.
Debris removal: Rocks, old structures, and any surface-level obstructions are hauled away.
Grading and Earthwork
Excavation: Earth is moved to create a level surface or match the project’s elevation plan.
Filling and compaction: Low spots may be filled with soil or gravel, and all areas are compacted to prevent settling.
Soil Testing and Stabilization
Testing: Soil is tested for load-bearing capacity, drainage, and stability.
Improvement: If needed, soil may be treated or replaced to ensure it can support concrete slabs, foundations, or roadbeds.
Utility and Drainage Preparation
Trenching: Trenches are dug for water, sewer, gas, and electrical lines.
Drainage systems: Stormwater management systems like culverts, swales, or retention basins may be installed.
Erosion Control
Measures such as silt fences or erosion control blankets are put in place to prevent soil erosion during construction.
Access and Staging
Temporary access roads and Staging areas for Materials and Equipment.
