There are many things that need to be done before you erect a building or construct a pavement. If the site is raw land, trees, boulders, and other obstacles will need to be cleared. If there are existing structures, they will probably need to be demolished and the debris removed. However, two services are typically needed on all construction projects. These are Chicago excavation services and site grading services. Although they both involve moving dirt around, they are two distinct services.
As a verb, excavation is the process of digging a cavity in the ground, and, as a noun, an excavation is the cavity that is left by the removal of the earth. When building a house, contractors typically must remove earth to construct the foundation or a basement, install pipes and underground utility lines, build a driveway, or install a septic tank. When building a roadway, contractors may need to flatten a hill, install storm drains or drainage ditches, reroute utilities, or remove enough dirt to make the planned roadbed more level.
With site grading in Chicago, contractors are moving the earth, but they are not necessarily removing it. Grading is basically establishing the proper slope. To illustrate, if you want to build a home on flat terrain, grading will help make the site more level. If the home is situated on a hill, grading can help ensure that the driveway is not too steep, too rough, or too uneven. When building a road, if you want to restrict runoff from properties adjacent to a road, grading can be used to construct i
embankments, or you can use grading to level the roadbed or establish the proper pavement crown.
The equipment needed will depend on a number of factors. There is a big difference between digging out a basement hole, for example, and grading a five-acre site for a new parking lot. Suffice to say that heavy equipment is typically involved. Scrapers, bulldozers, front-end loaders, dump trucks, and many other types of
equipment may need to access the site. It all depends on what we are excavating, whether we are performing rough grading or fine grading, and where the site is located.
