Excavation
Stability Starts Here
At Pavement Specialties of Idaho Inc., we bring years of expertise to a wide range of excavation projects. Whether you're dealing with soft spots, drainage issues, or site development, we have the knowledge and equipment to get the job done efficiently and correctly.
Some of the most common excavation services we provide:
- Soft Spot Excavation. Soft spot excavation is essential when hydraulic pumping occurs, which can compromise the integrity of your site. Our process involves removing all contaminated soil to the necessary depth or until stability is achieved. We use a strategic layering method—placing crushed washed rock wrapped in fabric—before adding ¾” gravel and pit-run material to reinforce the area.
- Drain Placement & Repair. Proper drainage is key to the longevity of any project. Whether installing new drains or repairing existing ones, our team ensures compliance with local city or county engineering requirements. Once the plan is approved, we handle all necessary excavation and installation work to optimize drainage and prevent future issues.
- Site Development. For new construction or parking lot expansions, our site development process ensures a solid foundation. The first step, known as “clear and grub,” involves removing all debris and vegetation. We then excavate to the required elevations before placing and compacting specified aggregates, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
We're committed to delivering high-quality excavation services tailored to your specific needs. Contact us today for a free estimate.
