Grading/Site Prep
Land grading is an essential aspect of the preparation of a construction site. It involves the process of leveling the piece of land which will serve as the foundation of the construction. If the land is multilevel, dirt will have to be moved from higher levels to lower levels. A piece of land may be graded to have a level or a sloppy base. While land grading may seem like a lot of trouble, you will enjoy its many benefits for decades. STL Excavating Pros delivers quality land grading services for your foundations, landscapes, surface drainage, roads, and gardens.
Accessibility Before a construction project can commence, the site must be readied for use. During the process of site preparation, all obstructions are removed from the site in order to make it more accessible for workers. Lots of materials and equipment will need to be moved around the site and the workers must be able to move around easily. Without the proper site preparation procedures, people and materials will be unable to move around easily. The result of this will be that your project will take much longer than necessary. And the longer it takes to complete the project, the higher its costs. Safety One thing you must consider before sending men into your site is the safety of your site. As the project manager, you are responsible for the safety of your workers, and should they sustain any injury, you will have to pay for it. It may even result in lawsuits. Proper site preparation is fundamental to guaranteeing the safety of everyone on your construction site. Harmful objects will be removed from the ground while areas with underground pipelines and wires will be identified. The result of our work will give you peace of mind as you finally kickstart your project. Proper Drainage An inadequate drainage system is one thing every property owner and construction manager dreads. Without a proper drainage system, your site will easily become waterlogged during heavy rainfall. This can cause varying levels of damage to your project. And even after the completion of the project, the problem will persist on the property. A graded land will have an adequate drainage path for the flow of rain and excess water. This way, the occurrence of water damage to structures will be avoided. The risk of soil erosion will also be reduced to a minimum. Aesthetic Value Land grading is one of the first steps you will have to take in order to ensure that your property is visually appealing. All undesired elements will be removed during site preparation. Also, it is much easier to landscape and maintain a graded land. When the soil is well leveled and compacted, it will become suitable for landscaping. Furthermore, you will have no problem in building that dream home of yours when the land is well graded. At the completion of the project, the landscape will appear smooth and void of variations. Your property will appear aesthetically pleasing as it is approached. |
