THE PROCESS

HERE’S HOW YOUR JOB WILL BE COMPLETED STEP-BY-STEP!

Our Process From Start to Finish

Surveying the Site: Colorado Excavating surveys the project site to study and analyze a variety of conditions, including the slope of the land, types of soil, distance to human or wildlife populations and underlying facilities or structures. We use this information to develop an appropriate plan from staging materials, to determining the best machinery suited for the job and estimating start and completion timelines.

Site Preparation: In a typical residential construction project, the excavation contractor shows up after the surveying crew determines the house and lot boundaries. The contractor removes the soil to the depth required for the new foundation and ensures that the soil is firm through compaction tests and compaction with equipment, if necessary. The dig requirements are precise, so the excavation contractor must be able to use a level and transit to match the grade posted by the surveying crew. After the foundation contractor pours the footers and stem wall, the excavation contractor backfills around the new foundation.

Obtaining Permits: Colorado Excavation will obtain the necessary an excavation permit from the Regional Building Department before launching operations on a construction site. When Regional Building needs to inspect the excavation site, the grading and excavating contractor are typically present to answer any questions the inspector might have.

Developing the Site: After securing the necessary excavation permits, Colorado Excavating, Inc. begins to develop the site. We use our experience and professional training to determine the best way to strategically excavate and stage materials, as well as preparation for any haul away that is necessary. After the foundation and stem wall are poured, we offer foundation sealing and waterproofing services as well as perimeter drains and even window well installation. Once complete, Colorado Excavating is meticulous with backfill, we compact in lifts and go above and beyond to make sure our backfills are beyond industry standards! Have any questions? We will happily order a compaction test to show our standards are far above industry standards. This process is so important to us because we frequently are employed to fix other companies backfills that have settled, causing negative drainage into your most important possession, your home.

Ensuring Safety: Colorado Excavating is responsible for the safety of the each of our projects, workers and the environment surrounding each clients project. To achieve this, we hire employees with relevant construction experience, organize training programs to enhance their abilities to operate excavation and grading equipment and machinery. We insure those exposed to dangerous conditions wear personal protective equipment such as boots with puncture resistant soles, hard hats, earplugs and face protectors at all times. Colorado Excavating, Inc. also develops strategies to prevent soil erosion, such as such as building silt fence barriers to trap eroded soils.

DRAIN SYSTEMS AND SOLUTIONS

WE CAN HANDLE ANY ISSUES CAUSED BY EXCESS WATER!

We’ve Got The Drain For Your Drainage Problem

Did you know that different drainage systems actually work and are best suited for different and specific situations? There are a number of factors that determine which kind of drainage system to use for a particular situation, including the ground topography and geomorphology. Colorado Excavating has extensive experience in all types of drainage systems and solutions.

French Drains: The French drain is simply a trench filled with a permeable material (like gravel) in which water seeps into a perforated pipe and is diverted away from the property.
Perimeter Drains: These systems are typically used for both residential and commercial applications to prevent surface water from penetrating and damaging the structure’s foundations.
Surface Drainage Systems: This type of drainage consists of ditches and/or flexible PVC pipes. They collect water from the ground level and divert it away. They are usually suitable for areas with enough natural grade to allow water to drain away through gravity. If the gravitational pull is insufficient, Colorado Excavating can install a sump and pump system.
Channel or Trench Drains: A channel or trench drain diverts surface water and is largely popular due to its simplicity in design and installation. It can consist of a channel with a removable grate or a larger lined open trench. Either may require a sump, end caps and other accessories. These systems help deal with heavy run-offs caused by the periodic downpours and flooding we experience in Colorado. Channel drains are more discrete and appealing aesthetically. Trench drains can be attractively lined and landscaped.
Sump Systems: Sump pumps are perfect for basement waterproofing systems, especially where the property’s grading slopes toward a structure. They consist of a built-in float switch that pumps away water and prevents it from collecting directly around the foundation and leaking into your below grade areas.

Avoiding drainage problems requires the right type of drainage system, and not every solution will work for all areas. Let Colorado Excavating’s expertise in considering the various factors that should be taken into consideration guide you. Contact us today. We’ll help you determine which drainage system will work best for you. We are professional contractors specializing in landscape drainage systems tailored to our Colorado environs.
