Industrial Site Clearing and Mass Grading Texas
Heavy civil earthwork that starts your project right. Professional clearing, precision grading, and efficient dirt work for industrial sites across Texas.
Site clearing and mass grading establish the foundation for every industrial project. This critical early work transforms raw land into buildable pads, manages stormwater grades, and creates the infrastructure corridors that support the completed facility. Our earthwork crews operate the heavy equipment and possess the expertise to execute precision grading on industrial scale projects.
Texas industrial sites present diverse earthwork challenges. From the expansive clays of North Texas to the sandy soils of the Gulf Coast, our teams understand regional soil conditions and adjust methods accordingly. We manage cut and fill balancing, import and export logistics, and compaction requirements to deliver graded sites that meet engineering specifications.
Earthwork sets the schedule for everything that follows. Delays in grading cascade through utility installation, paving, and building construction. Our self performed earthwork capabilities provide schedule control that keeps industrial projects on track from day one.

Project Specifications
Industrial site clearing begins with thorough survey and existing conditions documentation. We identify trees, structures, utilities, and environmental features before developing clearing plans. This methodical approach prevents surprises and ensures compliance with permit conditions.
Mass grading for industrial sites requires balancing multiple objectives. Building pads must meet elevation and slope requirements. Stormwater grades must direct runoff to detention areas. Utility corridors must maintain proper cover and slope. Access roads must accommodate heavy truck traffic. Our grading plans address all these requirements while minimizing earthwork quantities and balancing cut and fill where possible.
Equipment selection and crew sizing directly impact earthwork productivity. Our fleet includes the heavy equipment needed for large industrial projects. Scrapers move significant volumes efficiently across open sites. Excavators handle precise grading and utility trenching. Compaction equipment achieves density specifications. We match equipment to project requirements for optimal production.
Quality control during earthwork prevents problems throughout the project. Compaction testing verifies structural fill meets specifications. Survey confirms elevations match design. Documentation creates the record needed for building permits and future reference. Our earthwork quality program ensures that finished grades support the construction to follow.

Common Questions
How do you handle soil that does not meet compaction specifications?
When existing soils cannot achieve required compaction, we implement geotechnical engineer recommendations. Options include soil treatment, over excavation and replacement, or ground improvement techniques. We work with project geotechnical engineers to select appropriate solutions.
What erosion control measures do you implement during grading?
We install erosion control per TCEQ requirements and project SWPPP. Measures typically include silt fence, inlet protection, stabilized construction entrances, and temporary seeding. Our crews maintain erosion control throughout grading operations.
Can you balance earthwork to avoid import or export costs?
We work with civil engineers during design to optimize grades for earthwork balance when site conditions allow. Not all sites can balance, but adjusting finished grades within acceptable ranges often reduces or eliminates costly soil hauling.
How long does mass grading take for typical industrial sites?
Grading duration depends on site size, earthwork quantities, and soil conditions. A 20 acre industrial site with moderate grading typically requires 4 to 8 weeks for mass grading. We develop detailed schedules based on specific project conditions.
Do you handle rock excavation if encountered?
Yes. When rock is encountered, we evaluate conditions and select appropriate removal methods. Options include ripping with heavy equipment, hydraulic breaking, or controlled blasting depending on rock hardness and proximity to existing structures.
