Orlando Excavation Service, Land Clearing, Grading, Earthwork
If you are a project manager, land developer, or construction contractor in Central Florida and need some type of site development, but what do you need to know?
There Are Several Types of Excavation
Borrow Excavation
Most new construction projects require removing materials to make room for the project. Borrow excavation, is just that, borrowing materials such as soil, gravel, and dirt, from a ‘sandbox’ as the industry call it. These materials are used for grading, fill, and used to create concrete.
Channel Excavation
This type of excavation focuses on removing materials to create throughways or ditches to redirect water flow. This important step manages water, sediment buildup and alleviate flooding.
Structural Drainage
Work related to drainage focuses on moving water, via storm drains, trenches, or ditches, away from the project or structure.
Dredging
Sediment and debris accumulate over time and needs to be removed. Dredging is underwater excavation, moving the debris and dirt to another area.
Earthmoving
Typically for new industrial, commercial or residential construction. It pertains to removing soil to make room for the project. The objective is to gain access through areas that are impassible by isolating the polluted or contaminated space.
Footing Excavation
The foundational support of the project, building, structure, or bridge is the footings. It consist of a very precise type of excavation, that occurs after the land is properly graded.
Stripping Excavation
This includes clearing (or stripping) out the land, shrubbery, trees, and topsoil. This is especially important if you have a large area of land.
Muck Excavation
Muck excavation is often necessary in projects in Central Florida. This typically involves cordoning off
Rock Excavation
Rocky ground is prevalent in Florida and can easily obstruct construction. Often times specific equipment is necessary to effectively remove them.
