What is a Building Pad?

A building pad, also referred to as a construction pad, foundation pad, or site pad, is an area of land prepared to support a structure. It involves excavation, leveling, and compaction of soil to create a stable, strong base capable of supporting the weight of the building and withstanding environmental conditions like moisture, settlement, and erosion.

Importance of Building Pads

• Foundation Stability: Gravel foundation pads ensure your structure’s foundation is stable and properly supported, preventing issues like settlement or shifting.

• Level Surface: A level gravel pad is essential for proper alignment of structural elements like floors and walls, ensuring a safe and long-lasting build.

• Drainage: Gravel pads incorporate drainage systems to prevent water accumulation around the foundation, which could lead to erosion and water damage.

• Efficient Site Preparation: Gravel pads provide an excellent base for workers and machinery to operate on, ensuring a smoother construction process.

Types of Gravel Pads

• Barn & Livestock Pads: These require durable, compacted gravel or sand to support the weight of livestock, machinery, and equipment. Our pads for barns and live stock areas, such as horse paddocks, often include lime dust or sand for efficient drainage and excess water solutions.

• Driveway & Parking Pads: We construct gravel driveway pads and commercial parking pads throughout Cass Co Mo, Johnson & Miami Co Ks. These pads are built to withstand heavy traffic, with proper drainage and long-lasting performance.

• Foundation Pads for New Structures: Whether you’re building a new home, shed pad, or a commercial building, we specialize in gravel foundation pads tailored to meet load-bearing requirements and provide a solid base for your structure.

• RV & Large Pad Construction: Need a gravel pad for RV parking or large equipment? We offer gravel pads for RV parking, large commercial pads, and more, with specialized grading and compaction for durability and stability.

• Pool Pads: Our gravel or sand pads for swimming pools ensure that your pool area has proper drainage while providing a solid, level surface for installation.

Construction Process for Gravel Pads

1. Site Preparation: The site is cleared of debris & vegetation and removed.

2. Excavation: Soil is excavated to the required depth, ensuring the pad meets load-bearing and drainage requirements.

3. Compaction: Heavy machinery is used to compact the soil, enhancing its density and stability.

4. Grading and Leveling: The pad is graded to ensure a uniform surface with the correct slope for drainage.

5. Drainage Installation: Drainage systems, such as pipes or culverts, are installed to prevent pooling around the foundation.

6. Quality Control: Every step is monitored to ensure compliance with engineering specifications and regulatory standards.
