Let the professionals take control, ensuring that your next project is done in an efficient manner that is up to code and exactly to your specifications.

New Construction

When building a piece of new construction or infrastructure, it takes a team of dedicated professionals each with their own expertise and knowledge-base from which to draw.

To successfully execute a new construction project many of the pieces that must successfully fall into place include examining any environmental impacts, proper scheduling of each step in the process and budgeting of money, ensuring the availability of building materials, and foreseeing the affect the new construction project will have on the general public of the surrounding areas.

The main areas of new construction which will be touched on here generally happen at the beginning and middle of a new construction project and are: grading, excavation, underground utilities construction and slab foundations. Each has its own purpose within the new construction process, and each is important to completing a new construction project properly while adhering to government codes.

Grading

R. Farino can connect you with a designer who will make your property come alive again! The design phase of new construction includes master planning and installation.

At the start of this process is what civil engineers and those in the construction industry refer to as grading. Grading ensures that that there is a level base for such work as creating a building foundation or footing, for slope terracing and stabilizing, and in roadway construction. As well, grading can refer to purposefully forming a slope or slopes for landscape improvements such as landscape design, landscape architecture, aesthetic contouring, and in order to direct surface storm-water to a proper drainage point. The grading that happens atop the subsoil or natural ground is often called the subgrade, but when that grading which is completed will also be utilized at the surface of a completed construction, it can be called finished grade.

We know it is important to create a one of a kind landscape for your property. From the grading plan, to the installation of landscape, to the completion of your unique garden design, you will be in good hands with the Orange County demolition experts at R. Farino.

Excavation

Excavation of earth is a necessary part of any new construction process. When executed properly, it allows for larger plots of earth to be moved from one area to another, thus making a hollow cavity where the soil once was. This helps to make way for such things as installing underground utilizes, and laying a slab foundation. In the excavation process it’s not just the bulldozer doing all the work, a number of heavy-duty machines such as hydraulic excavators, back-hoe loaders, front-end loaders and scrapers or pans are used during the different phases of an excavation.

It is important to employ a demolition expert for any excavation project, ensuring that the proper precautions are taken to identify any existing water mains or electrical lines, thus avoiding delays from inadvertent damage throughout the project. During the excavation process you may need hand sawing services from Orange County concrete company R. Farino.

Underground Utilities Construction

Underground utilities construction can mean building new or maintaining existing water and sewer systems, electrical duct banks, gas lines, subdivision utility infrastructure and even fiber optic and telecommunications.

Just as the size, scope and scale of each project is different, so the professionals performing the work must have a high skill level, in order to be prepared for any type of underground utilities construction project which comes along. With underground utilities construction specific expertise is necessary in horizontal directional drilling, pressure digging, trenching and rock cutting, foundation installation and grounding. Some of the heavy machinery used includes trenchers, vacuum excavators, rock saws, custom cable handling, and material placing equipment.

If you need to have underground utilities installed or repaired, you will need saw cutting, trenching, a utility specialist (such as one of our recommended electricians or plumbers), and reconstruction of the concrete or asphalt. In most cases, you have to contract a different company for each task and coordinate everyone to complete their portion of the project on time.

Slab foundation

R. Farino Orange County concrete services include laying a slab foundation. This process involves a concrete slab that is to serve as the base for a new construction structure. A slab foundation is formed from a mold set into the ground atop a bed of compacted crushed stone or gravel. The concrete is then placed into the mold, leaving no space between the ground and the structure. This creates a sturdy footing with a vapor-proofed, reinforced concrete pad upon which the new construction can stand.

This technique is inexpensive, and takes little preparation, formwork or labor to create compared to other types of foundations, and yet it creates a sound structure. It leaves no hollow spaces or wood channels leading from the ground to the structure making the property less vulnerable to termite infestation. In a properly constructed slab foundation, the foundation walls will be plumb and level, and free of discolorations (a sign of weak concrete). Things such as sewer pipes and sometimes electrical conduits must be placed before the concrete is poured to create the foundation slab, and once the concrete sets they are embedded into the slab.

Orange County concrete and demolition services can also be helpful throughout other processes of new construction such as framing, roofing, stucco, flat work, and other custom work.

Remodels

With the remodel of an existing building the structure, appearance, layout and furnishings of a building are all aspects which might be renovated. Some initiate a remodeling project simply for the aesthetic appeal of all things new, some to increase the size of a building, some for the benefits which arise from utilizing more energy efficient building materials, and some due to structural weaknesses which must be addressed in order for a building to be brought back up to code.

When remodeling current construction or infrastructure, it takes a team of dedicated professionals each with their own expertise and knowledge-base from which to draw. To successfully execute the remodel of an existing building many of the processes that must be successfully executed include planning, engineering, structural repair, rebuilding, and finishes.

The main areas of remodeling which will be touched on here are demolition which includes concrete removal, and also slab and custom work which includes concrete remodeling and custom concrete. Each has its own purpose within the remodeling process, and each is important to completing a renovation construction project properly while adhering to government codes. Demolition

Within a remodeling project, one of the first things that must be done is demolition, tearing down the portions of the building or infrastructure which are no longer necessary. The tools used for this type of removal depend on the size and scope of the job site and range from elevated work platforms, cranes, excavators, and bulldozers for smaller home or business job sites, to wrecking balls, rotational hydraulic sheers, and silenced rock breakers for larger more industrial job sites.

Aside from the standard demolition which might occur, deconstruction is an approach to demolition which minimizes the amount of material which hits the landfill. In this more environmentally friendly method, materials that are removed are separated by their types and sent off for reuse or recycling. It has been stated that up to ninety percent of a building’s raw materials can be recycled in this way.
