The civil scope that comes before everything else: clearing, moving and compacting dirt, then building what drives on it.
Every other trade on a site is waiting on grading, on a pad, on an access road. When the civil contractor is a different company than the one installing the power and the conduit, that wait becomes somebody's change order.
Mass excavation and grading, from raw ground to the elevations the rest of the job is designed against.
Site preparation and pads, compacted for what is actually going to sit on them.
Road and access-road construction, including the access that a remote site needs before any other trade can reach it.
Base course, aggregate and paving support underneath the finished surface.
Drainage and culverts designed for the storm that shows up, not the average one.
Site utilities in the same corridor as the conduit and the power that follow them — one mobilization, not three.
We did not add earthwork to look bigger. We added it because it is the scope that was stalling the other two.
Drainage, site utilities, conduit and power usually share a corridor. Cutting it once, with one crew that knows what is going in behind it, is cheaper and faster than three contractors opening the same ground in sequence.
Where the pads land and how the site drains determines where the gear can go and how far the feeders have to run. Designing the civil in isolation is how a project ends up paying for conduit it never needed.
On remote and industrial sites the access road is not a line item at the end. It is the thing that decides whether anyone else can start at all.
The things owners and GCs actually ask us before awarding a scope.
Mass excavation and grading, site preparation and pads, road and access-road construction, base course and aggregate with paving support, and drainage, culverts and site utilities. It is the civil scope that has to happen before anything else can start.
Yes. Access-road construction is a normal part of the division, and it is often the first thing a site needs before any other trade can reach it at all.
That is exactly the point of having all three divisions in one company. Drainage, culverts and site utilities are ours, and so are the conduit and the electrical that usually follow them into the same corridor. One mobilization instead of three.
We do base course, aggregate and paving support. On paving itself we will tell you plainly what we self-perform on a given job and what we bring a specialist in for, rather than quoting it and figuring it out later.
Earlier than most owners do. Grading and drainage decisions made before anyone looks at where the power and the conduit have to run are the ones that get rebuilt. If the civil, the electrical and the telecom are designed against each other, someone pays to fix it.
Send the grading plan and the schedule. We will tell you where the civil, the power and the conduit are fighting each other before it costs you a change order.
