When it comes to site preparation, East Coast Civil Group fulfills a crucial role in transforming land into a suitable and well-prepared construction site.

Erosion Control and Drainage:
Measures are implemented to prevent soil erosion during and after construction, often through the use of retaining walls, erosion control fabrics, and proper drainage systems.

Access Roads and Parking:
Commercial sites require access roads leading to and from the main roads, as well as parking areas to accommodate customers, employees, and visitors.

Stormwater Management:
Stormwater management systems are designed and implemented to handle rainfall runoff and prevent flooding on the site.

Environmental Compliance:
Depending on the location and local regulations, environmental assessments may be required to address any potential environmental impacts and comply with environmental laws.

A Fleet of Heavy Equipment to Get the Job Done

The specific equipment needed can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, as well as the nature of the site itself.

Front-end loaders or wheel loaders are used to transport materials like soil, gravel, and other construction materials around the site. They are also used for excavation and loading tasks. East Coast Civil Group has a wide variety of loaders in multiple sizes, all ready to handle any needed task.

Graders
Graders are specialized machines used for fine grading and creating smooth, level surfaces. They are crucial for achieving the desired contour and elevation of the construction site.
