Excavation
Sierra General Engineering & Hardscape provides excavation for house pads, driveways, private access roads, and property improvements throughout Three Rivers, Visalia, Exeter, and Tulare County.
Our work includes hillside excavation, rock removal, trenching, and site preparation. The scope depends on the intended use, site access, slopes, drainage, and the material that needs to be moved. Excavation can be combined with grading, material hauling, underground utilities, boulder walls, and concrete work as needed for the project.
See our Exeter stormwater basin cleanup for an example of excavator work removing vegetation and organic debris, loading dump trucks, and hauling material off site.
Washed out pond dam for Cattle
Washed out pond dam for Cattle
Two pond dam reconstructions from being washed out during a flood event. Both dam breaches were excavated out, removing all loose, washed-out, and saturated material until reaching firm, stable bottom. Cutting back the damaged area with stable side slopes to accept the new soil. Next a keyway is excavated/benched in to so the new fill bonds with the existing. The new material is laid in 12" compacted lifts until matching existing dam heights, and blended to the sides. Lastly the spillways were improved to avoid a future overflow issue.
