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. 

SWET Construction follows all local and state statutes, ensuring the best management practices when performing all of our services. 

It isn’t always easy to choose a site development company, here are a few things to look for:

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 

For a successful project effective communication is paramount. During the project, the excavation team typically works with many different parties. To ensure deadlines are met, good communications, organized, and professionalism are crucial.

There is a lot of work that goes on before a Central Florida construction project even begins. Excavation is the first step in the process, it is an important step that will determine the quality of the foundation and structure.

What is excavation?

Excavation involves a number of processes depending on your unique project. It includes moving materials such as rock and earth with large equipment. Excavation is used to create roads, reservoirs, and building foundation. By way of earthwork and site development, trenching, dredging, digging, and tunneling, which requires the right techniques and equipment. 

Site Management 

Central Florida is a very busy town, it is important for the job site to establish entrances and exits that are convenient and do not impede on traffic in the local area. The excavation team also needs to take into account where the fill pile will be located and the appropriate roads to use when removing excavated materials. 

The Excavation Process

Before beginning, the job site is examined carefully to ensure the natural habitat surrounding the site is preserved during the process. The site’s boundaries are marked according to the excavation contractor’s drawings. The process also includes: corner benchmarks are set, top and ground levels are surveyed, the approved depth is excavated, dressing the loose soil, the cutoff level is marked, the boundaries of the building is marked, and the protection drains are constructed. 

Project Manager

The Project Manager is the pivotal point on all projects. Here at Swell Construction Group, each of our job sites has their own Project Manager, who is highly skilled in all aspects of site development and will take the project from its initial ground breaking to the final walk through with the local City or County Municipality.
