If you are starting construction at a new site, you need to make sure the site is prepared first. This should be the first step in your process. Site preparation involves doing many things. You can hire a service to do this for you to ensure it is done correctly. Below is information about clearing land as well as different types of construction equipment that can be used to prepare the site.
Clear Land
The first phase of the process is clearing the land so you can start building. This involves removing forestry, current buildings, and more. There may be a lot of debris on the property. There is also debris left over after removing trees, bushes, etc. If so, the service will clean this up for you as well. A lot of heavy equipment is used to do this job well.
Skid Steer
A skid steer is smaller than other equipment but is powerful. It is also much easier to maneuver for the operator making the process go much faster. Because skid steers are much smaller this allows the operators to maneuver them much better allowing them to do a more precise job when preparing the site.
Dump Truck
Dump trucks are also used which are durable and strong and can drive through almost any debris. Dump trucks also stand up well to all weather conditions. Because dump trumps are heavy and stable, they are perfect to use during the winter months if there is a lot of ice and snow on the ground.
Excavators
Excavators are the equipment most used to clear land. This is the heaviest equipment that comes in a variety of styles and sizes. There are also many attachments that can be used on the excavator depending on what it is being used for. Excavators are used to remove trees, other forestry, snow, and much more.
Backhoe Loader
Another type of equipment used is the backhoe loader. This is also a smaller piece of equipment but is heavy and durable. This also makes the loader easy to maneuver and is more precise when clearing land. A contractor chooses a backhoe when they are working in smaller areas where larger equipment cannot be used. This equipment can move building materials, break up asphalt, and more.
The site preparation company you hire can give you much more information on this equipment, as well as other types of equipment they may use.
