Tips to Ensure 
Proper  Site 
Preparation
Preparing the construction site is not a glamorous task, but 
it  is essential to ensure the project's success. Today, we will 
 take a closer look at all the steps involved in the 
preparation  process and the types of tools required to 
prepare a proper  construction site.
Time required for site 
preparation
The preparation for a construction 
site  can be broadly categorized into 
four  types. We will discuss these 
steps to  give you an idea of the 
timeline  required for site 
preparation.
Soil and Geotechnical 
Reporting
This phase of preparation seeks to match the actual  
condition of the construction site conditions to the plans 
and  recommendations of the construction and design 
teams.
Multiple soil tests are conducted during this time. Right  
foundation, groundwater, slope, and other crucial 
decisions  are made herein.
Clearing and 
Excavation
This step includes the  
removal of unnecessary  
vegetation. The soil is  
excavated in order to 
pave  the way for setting 
the  foundation.
Gradin

The grading procedure makes sure that water moves 
away  from the ideally planned structure and gets into a 
drain. The  drainage system is thus merged into the 
construction site.  This phase also involves crucial soil 
settlement.
Compactio
Before proceeding with cnonstruction, you have to ensure that the soil 
 underneath the foundation is compact and has a stable density. This 
will  make sure that the construction is perfectly alright. The amount 
of  compaction required depends on the conditions and type of the 
soil.
Remember, poor compaction may crack the future structure.
There are several small tasks involved in each of the large steps. 
Using  proper site equipment at each phase ensures that the 
process is  completed within a reduced time period and without 
any hassle.
Equipment Required for Each 
Phase
A wide range of heavy tools is required for preparing a  
construction site. For instance, during excavation and 
clearing  the site, the team may use bulldozers, 
excavators, skid-steer  loaders, backhoe loaders, and 
various other tools. During  grading, the professionals may 
also rely on several motor  graders and similarly heavy 
items. Finally, wheeled rollers and  other tools are also 
used during the compaction procedure.
Having said that, we must also mention 
that  the right equipment required for 
preparing  your construction site depends 
on the soil  type of the site and its 
conditions. Ensure  that you seek 
assistance from experienced  
professionals. They can guide you on 
which  tools to use in order to streamline 
the
process of construction site preparation 
and  keep up with your project schedule.
Remember, the right set of tools can  
facilitate your project, and improper 
tools  can mess up the entire thing. So 
be very  mindful of selecting the tools.
Rent Heavy 
Equipment
If you are operating on a constrained budget, you 
may  skip purchasing heavy equipment. These cost 
high, and  you need not purchase everything. 
Instead, engage the  Land Clearing & 
Land Excavation experts at Breland  Services to 
professionally and successfully execute your
