Whether you are constructing a new house or building a parking lot, site preparation is necessary to get your land ready for the project and comply with local building codes. Without professional site preparation performed by qualified experts, your project may encounter delays and other major problems. The excavation team at Golden Alaska Excavating, located in Kodiak, explains the reasons why site preparation is so important.

site preparationSite development is an essential first step to the construction process and involves a number of tasks that must be completed by an experienced construction company. Civil engineering experts have the knowledge to deal with factors that can complicate building projects, such as different rock and soil types, natural obstacles like bedrock, and uneven surfaces. The process ensures your land is suitable for construction work.

The company you choose is responsible for all the preparation work necessary for your site, including excavation and land clearing. In a diverse environment like Kodiak, these tasks involve everything from removing unwanted trees to rocks or debris that make the land uneven. Engineers can also test the soil to determine its suitability for use as a building foundation. They may set down multiple layers of rock on top of the existing ground to provide a well graded, flat surface for its construction. If necessary, the team also performs land grading to reshape the terrain and allow the site to drain properly. If the ground is not graded, the soil could erode and sedimentation can occur, causing foundation problems.
