Site Work & Land Balancing: Key to Construction Success

Site preparation is the first and most essential step of every construction project. Without a well-balanced and safe foundation, buildings and infrastructures may face costly structural issues in the future. Thomas Excavation is highly trained in site work and land balancing meaning every project gets off on the best ground.

What is Land Balancing and the Importance of That in Site Preparation?

Land grading is the process of striking ridges and leveling the land to create a solid building foundation. This is done using adding or removing soils so that the proper elevation and grade are achieved to facilitate good water runoff. There must be no differential settlement, foundation cracks, or waterlogging that can affect a building’s serviceability life.

Excavation Construction | Its Role in Stabilizing and Leveling Land

Excavation is crucial to land balancing as well, keeping your building site well-prepared. Using the latest technology, Thomas Excavation employs qualified operators to:

• Clear away debris and dirt to level the ground.
• Dig trenches for structural supports and utilities for the buildings
• Compact soil adequately to avoid settling and instability later.
• Keeping the water out of the land so that there’s proper drainage and that there’s no water causing damage or eroding the ground surface.

Proper Construction Site Work for Long-Lasting Integrity

Land balancing and professional site work are an investment in keeping a construction project standing for many decades to come. Some of its key benefits are:

• Foundation Settlement Problems: An even land minimizes the chances for the cause of uneven settlement and movement of the foundation.
• Enhanced Control of Water Drainage: The land is graded and leveled to direct the water away from structures, preventing flooding and erosion.
• Increased Load-Bearing Capacity: Soils that are stabilized or compacted can support the loads of buildings, highways, and other structures.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensures projects are approved and avoid costly delays by meeting site preparation standards.
