Coordinated sitework from the first excavation through
the finished pavement.
Commercial sitework connects the civil design to a functioning property. Earthwork, utilities, stormwater systems, grades, subbase, pavement and site features must be constructed in the correct sequence and to compatible elevations.
HMA Contracting provides commercial sitework throughout Albany and New York’s Capital District. Our ability to self-perform excavation, grading, drainage, utility work, aggregate subbase, milling and asphalt paving gives owners and general contractors a coordinated partner for the work outside the building.
What a commercial sitework package may include
- Clearing, removals and erosion-control support
- Mass excavation and cut-and-fill operations
- Building and structural excavation
- Storm drainage and stormwater infrastructure
- Water, sewer and other underground utility work within project scope
- Roadway and parking-lot subgrade and aggregate base
- Fine grading and pavement preparation
- Asphalt paving, reconstruction and milling
One team managing connected scopes
Sitework packages involve constant interaction among elevations, materials and trades. A utility change can affect grading. A drainage structure can affect pavement slopes. A building entrance can control the elevations of an entire parking area.
HMA’s integrated capabilities help reduce fragmented handoffs. Project managers, superintendents and foremen coordinate the sequence from excavation through pavement while communicating with the general contractor, owner, engineer and other trades.
Planning for schedule and logistics
Sitework often controls the critical path. Building access, utility service, concrete work and paving can all depend on preceding civil work. HMA develops production and material plans around the project schedule, site access, trucking, disposal or import needs and seasonal conditions.
Occupied campuses and operating facilities require another layer of planning. Temporary access, pedestrian separation, emergency routes and deliveries must be incorporated into the construction sequence.
Built on respect and professional accountability
HMA’s work is guided by respect for the customer, the project team, the public and the employees performing the work. That means addressing safety, communicating field conditions, maintaining orderly operations and taking responsibility for the quality of our scope.
For owners, the result is a sitework contractor focused not only on production, but on the performance of the completed property.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between excavation and sitework?
Excavation is a major component of sitework. A complete sitework package can also include utilities, drainage, grading, aggregate base, roadway or parking-lot construction and paving.
Does HMA work as a sitework subcontractor to general contractors?
Yes. HMA works with general contractors as well as owners, developers, institutions and municipalities.
Can HMA provide both underground and paving scopes?
Yes, where included in the project scope. This combined capability is valuable because utilities, grades, drainage and pavement must work together.
What information helps HMA evaluate a project?
Useful information includes civil plans, specifications, geotechnical information, bid schedule, construction schedule, project location and the intended scope of work.
