Even small excavation projects here in Central Florida can result in costly property damage. Whether it is a residential or commercial project, a professional excavation and site clearing service, with the right equipment, can ensure a safe and quick project, without damaging the property and even saving you money. 

Trench Excavation 

Trenches are used to bury plumbing pipes and power lines, dig up old ones that need replacing, and irrigation systems. This needs specific equipment designed to dig narrow, long rows. 

Drainage Excavation 

Drainage is especially important here in Central Florida. Directing water runoff and moisture away from buildings requires experience, skill, and precision. Precise grading of the soil and compacting is necessary.

Channel Excavation 

Changing the water flow with channel excavation reduces flooding to the area. It can also alleviate stagnation or standing water on the property. 

Driveway And Roadway Excavation

For the necessary support of concrete or asphalt, the soil underneath must be compacted properly.  Grading is also necessary to avoid water damage. The soil surrounding the roads and driveway also needs to be properly leveled and compacted to avoid future problems. 

Rock And Soil Excavation

All unwanted brush, rocks, roots, tree stumps, dirts and everything else that needs to be leveled and excavated. Typically known as ‘cut and fill’, Cutting dirt from higher areas and moving it to lower spots. 

Ensuring the land is free of any height variations or unnatural elevations. This level base creates a firm foundation for buildings and landscape. 

If a building, housing development, parking lot, or even a park is built on an uneven piece of property, it will face serious problems down the road.  Including, water accumulating around the building’s foundation, damaging the base and landscaping, water damage and flooding, water pollution, soil loss, and erosion.

It is important to choose a local company who understands the environment, professional, one that builds relationships within the community, has skilled personnel, the right equipment, and is proud to provide quality finished projects. That’s our goal at Swell Construct

How Does Your Parking Lot Or Driveway Look?

Don’t estimate the how you asphalt parking lot or driveway looks. It’s one of the first things people notice when they drive up. If the asphalt is in poor condition, not only does it leave a negative impression, it can pose a danger. 

Consider these essentials tips when creating an parking lot design 

Thickness of the pavement 

Before construction even begins, the quality of the ground soil should be determined. The types of vehicles using the parking lot, cars, SUVs, or 6-wheelers, should be taken into consideration when it comes to the depth of the asphalt.  The more weight, the deeper the asphalt. 

Parking lot size, space layout and accessibility 

It is important to have enough spaces, the average space is 9×19 feet. If you angle the spaces (45 degrees) it will allow for more spaces. Other zones should be taken into consideration, drive thru lanes, drop off zones, ramps, curbs, walkways, and handicap parking. Don’t forget to make it attractive with bushes, trees, flowers. Which can also act as a barrier.

Keep it safe 

Properly installed sub-drainage is responsible for strong pavement, lasting well into the future. To preserve the sub-grade drainage pipes should be installed with filters. This allows a consistent flow of water and contain small particles of soil within the sub-grade. Proper materials are also important to ensure potholes don’t happen in the future, or any sinking or shifting in the foundation.

The key to lasting pavement is proper drainage, construction techniques, and quality materials. Whether it’s for a walkway, road, or asphalt driveway here in Central Florida, creating proper drainage will prevent potholes and cracking. 

Asphalt’s greatest nemesis is water infiltration. The design and installation of pavement should take into account the slope and drainage. A lasting drainage system takes into account subheading and surface drainage. 

What’s the secret to a pavement that last for years without any problems? 

Subgrade Drainage

Properly installed subdrainage is responsible for strong pavement, lasting well into the future. To preserve the subgrade drainage pipes should be installed with filters. This allows a consistent flow of water and contain small particles of soil within the subgrade. Proper materials are also important to ensure potholes don’t happen in the future, or any sinking or shifting in the foundation. 

Surface Drainage

The quality and type of asphalt mix used for a project are vital for proper surface drainage. An intact, impermeable surface creates a protected subgrade. Which means water won’t pool near the edges and water will drain properly, protecting the subgrade.
