The Scope

Project Overview

Westpark is a 14-acre industrial facility site in west Houston developed for a logistics tenant on a fixed delivery schedule. The earthwork scope covered the full site, from raw ground to a construction-ready pad.

Stone River was contracted for mass excavation, cut-and-fill earthwork balanced on-site, GPS-controlled finish grading, and integration of the site's stormwater detention into the grading plan.

The pad was delivered on schedule for general contractor handoff, with compaction documentation submitted to the engineer of record at each hold point.

Scope Detail

What the Work Involved

  • Clearing and stripping of the full 14-acre site
  • Mass excavation and on-site cut-and-fill balancing
  • Building pad construction to 95% compaction specification
  • GPS-controlled finish grading across the pad and paving areas
  • Stormwater detention integration with the site grading plan
  • Compaction testing coordination and as-built grade documentation
Project Challenges

What Made This Job Hard

1. Fixed Tenant Delivery Date

The logistics tenant's lease start date fixed the handoff window before earthwork began. Stone River sequenced the pad ahead of the paving areas so vertical construction could mobilize while site grading finished.

2. Balancing Cut and Fill On-Site

Hauling import or export through west Houston traffic would have consumed the schedule margin. The grading plan was executed to balance material on-site, eliminating truck cycles and keeping the operation inside the fence.

Results

How It Finished

The pad was turned over on schedule and passed compaction verification at every tested location on the first submission. The general contractor mobilized vertical construction without a single earthwork-related delay.
