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.

At Swell Construction it is our responsibility to provide our customers with a quality-finished project. This is achieved by having highly skilled personnel in all positions within our company. We provide accurate estimates and perform our scope of work in an efficient, timely, and a cost effective manner.

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. They also ensure that the project is built to the client’s specifications and acts as the interface between the Owner, the office and the field.

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.
