Site Preparation and Excavation Gold Coast

First and foremost, RCC researches and analyses all the particularities of the land where the customer’s concrete slab will be laid. The goal is to determine whether or not the site is suitable for a particular project. RCC measures and assesses:

• Land size
• Land orientation
• Land slope
• Climate and microclimate
• Any building restrictions (on the locality)

To determine the footing system appropriate for each individual project, soil testing is essential. The capacity of the ground to absorb water is also ascertained during this phase. The experts at RCC work to examine the composition and condition of the soil, ensuring the land can hold the weight of the structure or slab. 

RCC can carry out demolition work to clear the future construction site of any existing structure. Working with licensed structural engineers, RCC supervises the entire demolition process and identifies and eliminates possible hazards, such as asbestos.

Once the site has been cleared of any debris, unwanted vegetation, or other obstructions, RCC will begin with the set-out. Setting out is the process of transferring design proposals from drawings onto the ground. Proper setting out is vital to ensure the construction remains within the legal boundary by establishing the structure or slab’s correct extent, angle, and level. It also ensures adherence to the correct design and client vision.

RCC can perform bulk or detailed excavation, depending on what is needed for the project. Using heavy equipment and excavators, RCC will form an open face, hole, or cavity in the ground to prepare for the foundation.
