Excavating

Full-Service Contractor for Excavation, Utilities and Asphalt

Preparing a site for an asphalt paving project can consist of so much more than clearing trees, although that can be a big part of it. The site may require utility infrastructure work or installing a new storm drainage system consisting of drain tile to carry water runoff into a rain garden, pond, or storm chamber.

As an asphalt company with more than 75 years of experience, BR has always offered excavating and grading services as part of our beginning-to-end paving services. Whether building from scratch or reconstructing a parking lot, site work is a critical part of our process.

In early 2022, BR added an underground utilities division with decades of its own experience. This acquisition provides our clients with the opportunity to work with a one-source contractor for various excavating and grading services, underground utilities installation, and asphalt paving.

Excavating

The members of BR’s excavating and grading crews have many years of experience operating heavy equipment, and they know how to get the job done right. Excavating a site could include removing vegetation and clearing topsoil, as well as sub-cutting and filling with new base material in order to properly set grades for the project.

Because water is a natural enemy of asphalt, it’s important to consider a stormwater infiltration system best suited for the project. BR’s excavating crew can dig ponds, install drain tile or build storm chambers.

When plans call for replacing curb and gutter, repairing catch basins, or laying underground pipes and utilities, BR will excavate according to the required specifications.

Grading GPS

Once excavation is complete, it is time to grade the site to allow for proper water drainage. BR uses GPS technology to assist in this process.

A 3D grade control system allows BR to achieve more precise height and angles when grading, which in the end, provides more accurate results. This stage in any site preparation project is critical. If specifications are not meticulously met, drainage will become an issue.

Prior to asphalt paving, it may be necessary for concrete to be repaired or replaced. BR’s expert concrete crew can perform flatwork for sidewalks, repair curb and gutter, and install proper ADA slope requirements where necessary.

This value-added service makes working with BR a one-stop shop!
