Foundation Excavation
When starting a new construction project, having your foundation properly excavated is of the utmost importance. Properly tending your groundwork before laying a foundation or beginning maintenance should be one of the first steps.
At Upper Valley Contracting, we offer multiple kinds of excavation services, including foundation excavation, to guarantee that you will have a stable, durable, and long-lasting structure.
Importance of Site Preparation
There are many benefits to preparing your site through excavation:
- Proper Load Distribution – Smoothing and evening out the landscape helps to create a level and compact base to build on top of, distributing the structure’s weight evenly and preventing sinking or shifting.
- Soil Stability – Loose soil can shift, erode, and lead to landslides or unstable buildings. To best treat your soil to keep it firm and stable, excavation can help to properly pack it down.
- Drainage & Water Management – Drainage is important for protecting your foundation; flooding or sitting water can erode or pool around your building, causing damage.
- Structural Integrity – If the ground is properly excavated, this can help protect your construction by clearing away stones, loose dirt, or other debris that could cause shifting or cracking over time.
- Access to Utilities – When beginning a construction project, it’s important to provide space for utility lines and drainage for the best installation and maintenance.
- Compliance With Regulations – Building and construction regulations require a certain standard of soil conditions in the area. Professional foundation excavation can help maintain those.
- Adaptation to Site Conditions – Depending on the construction site terrain, there will be various types of soil, slopes, rocks, and other factors that can impact building. Excavation processes will help to regulate the environment to provide the best conditions for construction.
