Subgrade Preparation Matters
HB Construction follows a methodical process on every site:
- Site Evaluation — We assess existing soil conditions, moisture content, and bearing capacity to determine what your project requires.
- Excavation & Cut/Fill Balancing — We cut high areas and fill low ones, working to balance earthwork on-site where possible to reduce material hauling costs.
- Unsuitable Soil Removal — Soft spots, organic material, and unstable soils are excavated and replaced with proper structural fill.
- Structural Fill Placement & Compaction — Fill is placed in controlled lifts and compacted to meet specified density requirements — tested and verified.
- Fine Grading — We bring the subgrade to precise elevation tolerances, ensuring proper slope and drainage across the site.
- Utility Trench Coordination — We coordinate subgrade work around utility installations so everything is sequenced efficiently.
