Sitework
Preparing a site for construction begins with a focus on environmental responsibility.
Erosion Control
Through a number of different channels we control water or wind erosion
throughout construction. By preserving existing natural erosion barriers,
terracing or benching steep slopes, and protecting the site with silt fencing
- a temporary permeable fabric barrier, sediment will settle from runoff
before water leaves the construction site. To protect the natural environment
from damage during construction, Austin Construction installs temporary
drives for construction sites. And finally, retaining walls slow or prevent
runoff of rain or irrigation waters from carrying away your soil and prevent
oversaturation that can damage the site's trees.
Tree Protection
After they are marked for preservation and barricaded for protection,
select trees - and their feeder roots - are protected by sturdy, high
visibility safety fencing.
Land Clearing
Industrial mowers, bushhogs, and heavy equipment are used to trim back
or clear trees and brush from planned areas, preparing the site for construction.
Throughout construction we maintain the site's remaining vegetation.
Site Utilities
Installation of site utilities like industrial waste lines, force mains,
water lines, large diameter pipe, and sanitary and storm sewer systems
is required at the early preparation phase of a site. Austin Construction
works with engineers, planners and developers to ensure proper placement
of all utilities.
