Grading, wet and dry utilities, and storm drainage: the work that sets a project’s schedule before anything visible gets built. We handle it as part of a station build, or as a package on its own.
The Dirt Work Decides the Job
Nobody photographs the underground utilities. But get the grading wrong and you are fixing drainage for the life of the site. Get the trenching sequence wrong and every trade behind you waits.
This is the first work on site and it is the least forgiving, because everything that follows is built on top of it and nobody wants to dig it back up. It is also the phase most likely to turn up something the survey missed: an abandoned line, an old foundation, worse fill than expected.
What We Do
- Site grading and earthwork: cut, fill, compaction and pad preparation
- Wet utilities: water, sewer and fire service
- Dry utilities: electrical, gas and communications conduit
- Storm drainage: collection, conveyance and detention
- Trenching, shoring and backfill
- Demolition of existing surfaces and structures
- Erosion and sediment control
Why It Matters Who Coordinates It
On a fuel project, the same excavation that opens your utility trenches also opens the tank pit. Sequenced properly under one contractor, that is a single mobilization and one run of inspections.
Split across separate contracts with nobody holding the program, it becomes a coordination problem, and coordination problems on a fuel site cost weeks, because the next crew cannot start until the previous one is finished and inspected.
Keeping that sequence in one set of hands is the single biggest reason our schedules hold.
We Take This Work on Its Own
Site work does not have to come with a station attached. We hold a Class A general engineering license and take underground utility and grading packages for commercial projects that have nothing to do with fuel.
If you have a site that needs moving and servicing, tell us what is on the plans.
