Construction and excavation must be in sync to ensure a project’s longevity. Without proper excavation and site preparation, the rest of the construction process and the resulting structure has a higher potential to experience issues that impact its strength, safety, and lifespan. 

Taking the time to properly excavate and prepare a site before construction begins decreases the risk of damage to the structure and the potential for other problems during the construction process. 

Construction and excavation: site preparation

Site preparation is the first step of any construction project. When planning a new structure, the end product is what most people envision, while site preparation and excavation procedures are an afterthought. These steps are essential to the overall success of your structure. Once site preparation is complete, the building process can continue. Site preparation may involve several steps, including:

• Site assessment 
• Excavation
• Grading
• Site compaction
• Infrastructure installation or updates
• And other steps to ensure structure and ground stability

Data from the initial site analysis gives detailed information to guide decision-making during the design process. For example, the soil type and other factors directly correlate to the best materials and structure composition for a specific location. 

In addition to proper materials and best practices, each step of the building process has detailed regulations and standards it must meet.

Regulatory Standards

Each phase of construction and excavation has precise rules and industry standards. Understanding regulations and the ability to identify and solve potential hazards creates a safe environment during project installment and results in a better structure. 

Our goal is to uphold the highest standards of project implementation that consistently meet and exceed the standards for site safety and structural integrity.
