Setting your Central Florida construction project up for success starts with Sitework and excavation. Understanding every step, our attention to details, the right equipment, and experience, makes Swell Construction a leader in the industry. 

What is Sitework?

Preparing the land for development must be complete before construction begins. The plans for the project must keep many things in mind, such as, topsoil locations, building layout, fill pile locations, parking, access points for equipment, and storage areas. 

A strong foundation depends on a how well the property was prepared.

Site Clearing 

The clearing process is the first step in developing a site. This includes removing any vegetation, such as trees and brush. When this is completed, the grubbing process starts, this is the removal and grinding of stumps and debris. 

Site Surveying 

To ensure the project is accurately laid out, a surveyor comes out to correctly mark the area. 

Soil Analysis 

Before beginning excavation and stabilization the soil must be tested. This will establish how much weight the ground can support. Ensuring it is feasible to construct the building where the project designates. 

Soil analysis also establishes the settlement rate of the soil. This is important because it will determine the length and depth of the structure’s pillars. 

Soil Compaction 

A strong foundation means the soil won’t move or cave in after construction. This requires the soil below the topsoil is properly compacted and stabilized. This prevents foundation cracks and shifting. 

Excavation

During this step of the process includes, removing soil and bringing in fill dirt to fill low areas, ensuring a level surface. This typically requires heavy equipment, such as dump trucks, backhoes, and bulldozers.

In last week’s blog we talked about the process of Sitework and excavation for Central Florida construction projects. From site clearing, grading, earthwork, excavation, paving and storm water and utility systems installation, quality is important. Ensuring the soil is stable enough to carry the weight of the foundation and building. 

Erosion and Sediment Control 

During the excavation and site development process, government and Central Florida statutes must be followed. Erosion and sediment can cause damage to property, downstream channels, and to the local area water. If not planned correctly, it can cause flooding, fill, drainage ditches, storm drains, damages and lower water quality.

Experience 

Make sure the company you choose has ample experience in what your project needs. Whether it is a large commercial undertaking or a residential venture, ensure they are accustomed to the structure you need. 

Equipment 

You want to make sure the company you hire has their own equipment, the right equipment, and they are kept in good working order. They last thing you want is a setback because the excavation crew’s equipment is broken down. This delay can really affect your bottom line. 

Communication and Professionalism

The first step is excavation and land clearing. Removing any unwanted trees and shrubs that are needed for the project.

This also includes any unwanted materials, rocks, stones, and garbage. Dirt may need to be excavated, depending on the soil and ground level, to ensure the highest quality, new dirt may need to be brought in and placed down. This creates a flat, secure surface for construction, which is vital for long term stability. 

The next step is grading the land. This ensures the ground is reshaped to the planned grades. Proper drainage is imperative for any property in Florida, of which land grading plays an important role. It also helps control sedimentation, soil erosion, and surface runoff.  Improper grading can result in increase peak flows, high runoff, poor drainage, and flooding. If the ground is left at levels that are inappropriate, it disturbs the natural patterns of the storm water and can cause a huge, costly mess.
