When it comes to starting a new project, whether it is a single family home or an entire community of them, it all starts with excavation and site clearing. It is also one of the most important. In fact the quality of the excavation can determine the success of the project. 

This is why it is so important to choose a knowledgeable and experienced team to handle your excavation. To ensure it is properly done, here are a few guidelines. 

Erosion Management 

This is a critical element here in Central Florida. If not done properly, controlling erosion and stormwater management can easily cause delays and even shut a project down. Taking steps such as installing silt fencing and removing the layer of topsoil, to ensure it won’t get washed away during an afternoon rainstorm. Causing massive delays and damaging the construction site.

Site Management 

To avoid delays, the sequence of preparations should not be overlooked. Steps should be taken before construction begins to plan out creating entrances, access roads, and fill piles. 

Utility Lines Management 

Underground utility lines, such as gas, water, sewer lines, and fiber optics should all be located and taken into account before excavation begins. The last thing you want is costly disruptions. 

Maximizing the Weather 

Knowing the weather patterns in Florida and understanding how to capitalize on them goes a long way when it comes to operations. 

Maintaining Good Communication

Timely and good communication between contractors and other project teams is vital. Misunderstandings and serious delays result with poor communications.

Orlando/Kissimmee: The Best Way to Prepare Property for Construction

Excavation and land clearing is much more than removing a few trees and evening out the ground. And while the empty lot may seem solid and secure when you walk on it, but the weight of a heavy equipment, buildings, or several homes, may be a different story all together!

A building’s weight has a big impact not only on the ground, but also on the environment. The purpose of excavation is to properly prepare the site to support what is designed to be built on it. The precision and details that are involved in this are more than most people think. If not done with complete accuracy, you can end up with big problems down the road. 

First Things First 

The first things that need to be safely removed, are existing structures, rocks and trees. Although, not everything has to be removed, you can always leave natural geological elements such as healthy trees or hills. 

Some of the topsoil is usually removed during the land clearing, debris from water and sediment is also removed. Earth excavation is also the foundation for holes that will stabilize buildings, even road, utilities, prevents erosion, and allow for proper drainage. 

Prepare the Site for Construction

Preparing the site for constructions is much more than just moving materials and adding dirt.  The soil is responsible for supporting construction. Depending on the type of soil, after it is compacted it can posses different qualities. The precise movements and calculations are crucial to ensure a quality results. 

Often time the topography has been altered during excavation to accommodate the construction. This affects the drainage, utilities, and paving. 

Everything is Connected 

Excavation and land clearing may seem simple enough, but it requires a team of experts who understand Central Florida’s soil conditions, weather, and the environment. The ground itself needs to able to withstand the weight of the buildings as well as the construction materials, while the drainage needs to solve problems, not create them, as well as be responsible for the surrounding areas.

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.
