Excavation
Basements
Basements, situated below ground level, can be constructed from treated wood, brick, or pre-cast/poured concrete, with concrete being the most durable and robust choice. The depth of excavation depends on the project’s scale; larger buildings with basements demand significantly deeper excavation pits.
At P & G Construction Group, we excel in excavating for basements made from poured concrete, concrete blocks, pre-cast panels, or stone walls. Our team ensures compliance with local excavation laws and leverages advanced machinery like excavators and earth movers to create precise, code-compliant basements.
Gravel Roads
Distinct from gravel driveways, gravel roads are built for higher traffic loads and require heavy machinery for construction and maintenance. These roads involve equipment like front loaders, dump trucks, graders, and rollers to create a base layer of compacted earth or other materials, topped with one or more layers of gravel.
The process begins with designing the road based on expected traffic volume, determining layer thicknesses, and spreading gravel with multiple roller passes for durability. The surface layer typically combines crushed stone, sand, and rounded pebbles.
P & G Construction Group’s expertise ensures the efficient construction and upkeep of gravel roads that meet heavy-duty requirements.
Trenches
Trenches are long, narrow excavations with more depth than width, typically rectangular. They serve purposes such as accommodating utility lines or creating foundation spaces.
At P & G Construction Group, we use mechanical excavators to dig trenches carefully, implementing measures to prevent collapse or mudslides. We employ timber or steel struts, boards, or diaphragm walls to shore up the surrounding earth when needed. Given the complexity of trenching, our equipment remains on-site for extended durations to ensure precision and safety.
Footing Works
Excavation for footings is a critical part of substructure construction, as the footing supports the entire load of the superstructure. Footings transfer the structural weight to a larger soil area, ensuring stability. They are constructed from materials like slabs, rebars, brickwork, masonry, or concrete.
Our extensive experience ensures the application of accurate design and construction codes for structurally sound footings, tailored to various installations and project requirements.
Foundation Works
Foundations are the lowest part of any structure, transferring the load of the upper structure to the soil. Depending on depth, foundations are classified as shallow or deep.
- Shallow Foundations: Excavated to about 1.5 meters, suitable for low-height structures.
- Deep Foundations: Require deeper excavation for multi-story structures or unstable soils, often extending to rock strata levels.
Soil type significantly influences excavation depth; softer soils may necessitate deeper excavation regardless of structure height. P & G Construction Group’s expertise spans excavation for diverse foundation types, including wall and slab creation using poured concrete, ensuring stability and structural integrity.
