Services

Commercial Sites

Site access and roading, engineered foundations and footings, service trenching, concrete, footpath and kerb prep, and the construction and installation of stormwater soakage fields.

From the first access track to the last kerb

A commercial site needs a lot of earthwork before the building starts and more once it is up. Beacon Hill Contracting handles the ground side of commercial builds across the Waikato: forming the site access and roading, cutting and filling the building platform, excavating footings and engineered foundations, trenching for services, preparing for concrete, footpaths and kerbs, and constructing the stormwater soakage fields the consent calls for.

We have worked on commercial building sites and alongside local and regional councils on project consents for over 10 years. Our sediment controls and bulk cartage mean the site, the spoil and the metal are all handled by the one contractor, and the roading is built to the engineer's specification.

What we do on a commercial site

Site access and roading

The access track first, then the internal roading formed and metalled to the design.

Engineered foundations and footings

Footings and foundations excavated to the engineer's drawings, checked with site and pipe lasers.

Service trenching

Trenches for stormwater, subsoil drainage and services, laid to grade with a pipe laser.

Concrete, footpath and kerb prep

Ground prepared and compacted for concrete slabs, footpaths and kerbs.

Stormwater soakage fields

Soakage fields constructed and installed to take the site's stormwater.

Safe trenching

Service trenches are the riskiest part of a commercial site. WorkSafe New Zealand's Excavation Safety good practice guidelines set out good practice for this work: locate underground services and dig away from them, shore, bench or batter back the sides rather than assuming the ground will stand, provide safe access in and out, keep people and materials from falling in, and check the excavation every day and after anything that could affect it. Ask us how a trench on your site will be supported before it is dug.
