Successful Projects Begin at Ground Level
No building pad or parking lot can be successful if it doesn’t have a solid foundation beneath it. That’s why so many contractors turn to Rock Solid for mass grading services. We use our experience, equipment, and value-engineering approach to deliver the absolute best and most cost-effective complimentary services to your mass & fine grading capabilities found anywhere.
Our extensive knowledge of the most effective mass grading techniques also ensures that the ground we leave behind will be able to retain its strength even under the wettest and most challenging conditions. Our weatherproof grading ensures stable drainage, erosion control, and soil compaction to keep projects on track no matter what the weather brings.
Poor grading can lead to numerous problems on your jobsite. These include insufficient drainage, excessive erosion, instability, uneven settlement, and delays caused by weather. With our construction site grading expertise by your side, you can be sure your project will get off to a good start and remain on track for the duration rain or shine.
How Does Mass Grading Work?
There’s a lot more to mass grading for construction than simply making sure the ground is flat and level. Although moving earth to provide a suitable base for building pads and exterior pavements is one of the most important aspects of this type of work, it’s also crucial to look well below the surface to ensure the longevity and success of the structure being built on top of it. Without the proper care and attention paid to how the soil is reshaped and compacted with optimum moisture, the building pads and surface pavements could settle, heave, or shift over time shortening their useful life.
The grading process involves a lot of planning and coordination upfront. Equipment including dozers, scrapers, and motor graders are used to move the earth so there is a stable, flat surface on which construction can begin.
Although the two often are used on the same projects, grading and excavating are two different techniques. Excavation involves digging areas of earth to help create the basis for a construction project. It is only after excavation that grading can take place. Grading for site preparation is a more nuanced process, involving smoothing the dirt to achieve the elevations and slopes called for in the design of the project.
Benefits Of Mass Grading In Construction
The use of grading in site preparation makes construction easier in a number of ways. By leveling the ground to make it more even and stable, it allows for building activity even in difficult terrain and enables greater stability in foundations. Earth grading also helps prevent soil erosion and improves drainage in certain areas, which can help you meet environmental goals and aid in permitting. With proper grading on your site, you also ensure you reduce the risk of delays. As your land grading contractors, you can be sure we will provide you with all these benefits and more.
Where Is Mass Grading Necessary?
Practically any type of construction project begins with grading, depending on the condition of the site beforehand. In short, wherever stability and strength are needed to support the finished structure or pavement, mass grading will be employed. These types of projects include:
- Parking Lots
- Roads and Sidewalks
- Building Pads
- Home Sites
- Commercial Buildings
- Industrial Facilities
- Athletic Fields
- Subdivisions
