How to Prepare a Site Prior to Excavation Service? The Steps Involved

Excavation is a strategic operation. A number of parameters – technical as well as safety, are associated with it. A series of preparatory steps are also taken by professionals before they get into excavation services. It’s the same for us at NextGen Earthworks. Before we start off with our project, we carry out a series of preparatory operations at the excavation site to ensure safety and security and to ensure success. The cocoon of our success as a provider of quality excavation services in Central Coast lies in these steps, to some extent.

Here on this page, we discuss the steps that we take before we get on with our excavations.

Surveying the site: 

This is the first step that we take at the very start of the project. A qualified and experienced surveyor will turn up at the site, to ensure that the location selected is right, and is located well within the parameters as well as boundaries, which the site is supposed to be within. The pros will install markers around the site, to help the developers locate the circumference of the excavation site.

Clearing the site: Before the site is developed, the ground needs to be entirely cleared and the surface needs to be leveled. This process starts with getting rid of the obstacles – natural as well as artificials like trees along with their roots and undergrowth and discarded constructions so that the experts do not face any hindrance when they get on with their earth moving service in Arcadia as a part of the project.

Testing the Soil:  

Then, it is time for testing the soil, for evaluating its potential structural integrity. This ensures that the soil is structurally stout and compact enough to withstand a force that is intense enough to support the structure that will eventually come up at the site. The pros will also test the water-absorbing power of the soil, to evaluate the probability of flooding.

Investigating the geotechnical property of the site:  

This is another extremely important aspect that has to be dealt with. Just as the soil testing procedure, the experts will carry out an evaluation of the composition of the rocks and rocky elements in the area, along with the groundwater condition, before giving a go-ahead signal for the excavation in the Central Coast area. This is an extremely important step to take, for an understanding of the techniques that are to be adopted for building the foundation of the structure to be constructed. This has to be carried out before the excavation starts.

Designing the site plan: 

This is the last but one of the most critical steps during the pre-construction phase. The site plan should include all the information about the excavation site and should convey in detail the layout and the location of the building within the site, and layout of the drainage and the septic systems of the site as well. The excavation is carried out accordingly.

Well then, these are the steps that are to be followed by excavation companies in Sydney like anywhere else in the world. We at NextGen Earthworks are no different, and this makes an excavation company in Sydney with a record of foolproof service. For further details, call us on 0411 644 444. We work 24×7.
