Highlights

Extensive Retaining Wall System:Constructed approximately 1,200 linear feet of retaining walls, reaching heights of nearly 12 feet, to manage substantial elevation changes across the commercial site development.
Complex Site Grading and Earthwork:Completed extensive cut-and-fill operations to establish development-ready elevations, including the excavation and off-site disposal of more than 10,000 cubic yards of material.
Major Sewer Bore Crossing:Installed the sanitary sewer connection through a technically challenging underground bore beneath the main roadway to reach the existing sewer infrastructure across the street.
Multi-Level Building Pad Development: Established building pads at varying elevations while coordinating grading, drainage, accessibility, utilities, and future building requirements.
Future-Ready Utility Infrastructure:Pre-stubbed utilities to future development pads, allowing subsequent buildings to connect efficiently with minimal disruption to completed site improvements.
Deep Underground Utility Installation:Installed portions of the underground utility system at significant depths, including manholes exceeding 15 feet, requiring careful excavation, safety planning, and field coordination.

Scope of Work

Behind the Build

Managing Major Elevation Changes
The site’s challenging topography required extensive grading and approximately 1,200 linear feet of retaining walls, with sections reaching nearly 12 feet in height. More than 10,000 cubic yards of excess material had to be excavated and hauled off-site to establish stable, development-ready elevations for commercial ground-up construction in Lewisville, TX.
Connecting Sewer Across the Roadway
The existing sanitary sewer infrastructure was located across the main road from the development. The team coordinated and completed a technically demanding underground bore beneath the roadway, allowing the commercial ground-up construction project to connect without conventional open-cut excavation through the primary travel lanes.
Building Deep and Planning Ahead
Portions of the utility system required manholes exceeding 15 feet in depth, increasing the complexity of excavation, installation, safety, and utility coordination. At the same time, utilities were pre-stubbed to future pad sites, preparing the development for expansion while minimizing future disturbance to completed infrastructure.
