If you have ever driven down a road that felt a bit like riding a roller coaster, you can understand the critical role that grading has in road construction, driveway construction, and other site preparation projects. You don’t want to be the one who catches heat because vehicles are bottoming out on your neighborhood streets or because ineffective grading has resulted in an erosion issue. There are many projects that require grading to get the best results and avoid premature failure. In fact, most of them do! Here are a few instances that come to mind when grading services need to be top-notch.
- Parking lots- Without proper grading, a parking lot would soon crack. There could also be pooling water where pedestrians need to walk or up against buildings, resulting in foundation damage.
- Racetracks- Drivers would have a difficult time controlling their turns if the grading wasn’t done to perfection.
- Road construction- Proper grading is necessary for getting a center peak to allow rain to run off the highway and provide support for vehicles to stay on the road on sharp curves.
- Building construction- Every residential and commercial structure must begin with a properly graded foundation or it can suffer slab cracks, settling, and other problems in both the short-term and the long-term.
