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.

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.

Stump Removal: Stumps can create major problems for contractors and developers, proper removal is vital to any project. Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean the roots aren’t still growing. These roots also need to be removed.

Erosion Control:  Surface runoff, prevent flooding, water pollution, and soil loss, erosion control should be done by experts who definitely know what they are doing!

Starting a construction project from the ground up in Central Florida isn’t always easy. There are a lot of steps that need to take place for a successful plan of action. 

First the land needs to be cleared

Within itself excavation and site clearing require multiple steps that require large pieces of equipment. Removing the undergrowth first creates an easier and safer environment to do the rest of the clearing. Such as clearing out shrubs and cutting down trees. 

There is more to cutting down trees than you think, if the sumps and roots are not properly removed, with proper equipment. If not ,the decaying matter left behind can cause cracks in the concrete structures being built. Animal burrows and large rocks also need to be removed properly. 

Second, Soil surface needs to be cleared

The soil surface doesn’t usually make for a stable foundation to build on. Since there is a big concentration of decaying matter, debris, and roots. This is why the surface soil is loosened and then removed. The new surface is graded and carefully prepared for a building’s foundation. 

Third, 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.
