Land Development and Construction in Central Florida is exploding! Orlando is expanding at a record rate, studies show 1,000 people a day are moving to Florida. 

When choosing an excavation service there are a few factors to keep in mind. 

Erosion Control

The natural process of erosion can be escalated by the development of land. Central Florida has a history of intense rain, flooding, and high winds, impacting how land is properly excavated and developed.

The team at Swell Construction ensures proper excavation during land development so that sediment and soil stays in place even during heavy rains. 

Site Management

There are many projects going on in Central Florida, it is important to understand the location of the development site. A successful excavation establishes appropriate entrances and exists around the job site, how it will affect traffic, the location of their fill pile, and other considerations. 

Location of Utilities

Utilities add another dimension to the project, from not damaging existing ones to coordination and placement of the new sewage, gas, water, and utility lines. 

Suitable Lot for Construction 

Before you start, it is important to consider the lot itself, the buildable area, the water table, the amount of trees, and slopes. Then there is the soil, if it is packed with sand or clay, to prevent cracks the foundation may need stronger and larger foot.

When it comes to excavation and land clearing, consistency and quality are keywords. Our experienced team at Swell Construction knows what it takes to get the job done right.

Preparing your Central Florida site for construction is essential, it is the foundation for a successful project.  If not done properly, it can create years of problems.

Excavation, clearing the land, removing unwanted trees, earth, and rocks, creates a solid building foundation. 

Excavation, depending on the project and architectural design, consist of taking dirt from higher areas to lower. Achieving a solid and smooth landscape. 

Water Drainage

Water runoff and drainage is very important in Central Florida. If the land is not properly graded the rainy season will be disastrous. Water will accumulate at the foundation, causing damage and even interior flooding. Grading is responsible for proper drainage.

Level Landscape

A smooth and level landscape is not only a significant aesthetic component, it is logistically important to the project.  You don’t want water rushing into a building every a big storm comes along or a flooded parking lot. 

Even Elevation

Slopes, hills, ditches, elevations are all important aspects of a construction project.  Though they may not look complex, there is quite a bit of science that goes into developing them. At Swell Construction we understand the requirements for each elevation, to ensure there won’t be any problems down the road. Walkways, terraces, driveways, streets, all demand suitable slopes. 

Professional grading is more that moving dirt around. A solid foundation sets the tone for the entire engineering plan, that leads to a successful project.

Whether it’s a large housing development or a commercial real estate project, every construction undertaking starts from the ground up. Central Florida is rapidly expanding, a solid foundation is essential for a successful project. 

While it may be invisible once the project is done, site preparation is vital.

If a site is not prepared properly before construction begins, the entire project can be compromised. Preparation includes land clearing, grading, proper compaction, soil stabilization, dewatering, excavation, paving, storm water and utility system installation. 

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 land grading. 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.
