Grading Excavation

Posted on 17. May, 2011 by in Articles

When the construction of a road or building is undertaken, the existing structures have to be demolished. Demolition is required for structures which are no longer wanted or are declared unsafe for further utilization. After demolition, excavation is carried out. In this process, the ground is excavated according to center-line drawing and the layout plan. Then benchmarks are set and survey is carried out. After the survey is carried out, the site is excavated to approve depth which is followed by dressing process. The dewatering wells and interconnecting trenches are constructed for use of water during construction. Then the boundaries are marked and protection bunds are constructed.

Certain quality checks are done during excavation which includes:

- Competent authority approves the strata classification
- Unsuitable material is disposed for filling.
- Suitable material for back-filling should be stacked in order to avoid double handling.

Excavation is followed by grading which involves leveling of the excavated surface. The surface is filled with the excavated soil leaving behind the unsuitable materials. A specific slope is also given such as foundation, surface drainage, base course for road or railway and for landscape and garden improvements. The filling of holes or ties to form a gravel lot or grade crossing is also known as grading. The soil or material used for filling is known as ‘grade dirt’. Final procedure involves hauling which involves transferring the debris from construction site to the dumping site. Hauling is a much needed process since the debris obtained after demolition, excavation and grading needs to be dumped to proper dumping site in order to avoid obstructions from debris on the construction site.

The process of demolition, excavation, grading and hauling is done by contractors. The contractors providing these services possess heavy equipments required for these processes. The contractors are hired for demolishing, excavating, grading and hauling services for residential, commercial and civil engineering projects. These contractors also provide Bob Cat services which includes use of heavy equipments used for construction. Normally a bulldozer is used for demolishing enormous structures. Heavy equipments like bulldozers, hydraulic attachments such as breaker, grapple or an auger, loaders and compacts are used while excavation works. 1300 Six-way dozer blade, 705 motor grader and ADT series compatible machines are the equipments used for grading purposes.

The equipments used in these processes need proper training in order to complete the work efficiently and safely. Improper and untrained workforce to maneuver these equipments can result in accidents and can even cost lives. The ATS heavy equipment training schools, IHE training school, National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools and Pennsylvania Heavy Equipment Training Schools are a few institutes which provide training in controlling heavy equipments.
