Frank Owens Contractors Review: Leveling and Preparing the Land

Site clearance is an important part of construction and demolition projects. It involves the removal of any hazardous materials from a site as well as stones, bricks and the surface soil layer. Others like vegetation are also removed from the site. A proper site clearance is important to ensure the safety of workers and the nearby residents around the site area.

Here are some guidelines to consider when conducting site clearance.

1. Safe practices

The safety and security of the workers in the area are one of the most important things to consider. During the clearance of the site, possible leakage of hazardous and toxic chemicals may occur. Only workers with enough knowledge on possible risks on the site area can gain access on the premises.

2. Obtaining permit

Before starting any site clearing, the owner of the property needs to obtain a permit from local authorities.

3. Setting limits

Establishing site boundaries in accordance with the contract to make the operation safe and secure. Setting up fences or barricades is enforced to prevent non-workers from entering the working site.

4. Vegetation management

Mulching equipments can be used to cut, grind and clear vegetation on the site area. Vegetation cleared and removed from the area to facilitate construction works shall be disposed of in accordance with laws and regulations.

5. Barricade fencing

Barricade fencing must be established on every job site naturally to protect the workers and public from construction accidents. Furthermore, setting barriers will limit the movement of personnel, equipments and vehicles to only specific boundaries for performing the work.

Landowners must understand their roles in the construction project and provide adequate time for each phase of the job to avoid undesirable and costly delays. Frank Owens Contractors works closely with their clients to successfully accomplish the goal and objectives of the project without conflicts until completion.
