Bulk and Foundation Excavation

JPC Group, Inc provides bulk excavation services for a wide variety of clients. Operating an ever-increasing fleet of well-maintained equipment, no earth moving task is too complex. We will clear any site quickly and efficiently, followed by excavation to prepare for new construction. Various methods of soil and rock removal will be utilized based on each situation. JPC handles projects from the smaller scale, such as single-family home excavation, to the very large scale, such as the excavation of over 170,000 cubic yards of both rock and soil to prepare for large commercial and municipal facilities. As always, every client is treated with the same degree of speed and professionalism.

READ MORE> With a major investment into modern equipment and support operations, as well as highly skilled mechanics and operators, we are able to offer a speedy, well-organized excavation for any size project. JPC coordinates all activities with production in mind, including scheduling and staging of trucks, preparedness for quick repairs to equipment, as well as constant communication with disposal facilities.

Foundation and Pile Work
JPC has extensive experience with site preparations for new construction prior to the arrival of other trades. Many times, this period of time involves the excavation of foundations, footers, pads, pile caps, and grade beams. JPC understands the need for coordination between subcontractors and brings a reputation of working with the owner and general contractor. JPC utilizes state of the art survey equipment to ensure proper grades are met for floors, pits, structures and trenches. JPC works with all inspection personnel to ensure that suitable conditions achieved. Additionally, JPC can coordinate site logistics to allow access for all trades and keep construction progressing across the site. JPC’s site personnel have the expertise to evaluate soil conditions, create logical sequences of activities, and use correct and safe methods to allow the installation of new materials

At JPC Group, Inc. we are constantly refining our machinery and techniques while continuing to employ the finest and most efficient workforce.

Shoring Installation
Large scale projects in urban constricted sites do not always leave room for open cut excavations. JPC is proficient in all types of soil retention methods to allow below-street work to continue in a safe and cost effective manner.

For deep trenching, as well as building excavation, JPC Group, Inc will utilize one of many types of earth stabilization. These methods include beam and lagging, underpinning, sheet piling, hydraulic shoring, soil anchors and tie backs. JPC consults with professional engineers to review and design relevant projects prior to commencement of work. During the planning stages of the excavation, the JPC project manager will continually review design scenarios with the engineer and determine the safest and most cost effective type of shoring. This promotes safety and a well-executed project. JPC implements individual plans that create a safe environment for construction and maintain the integrity of the excavation as well as the surrounding region. These methods can expedite project scheduling and reduce overall cost by eliminating large excavations and excessive material handling.

Shoring structures are constructed of timber, steel, mechanical, or hydraulic systems that support the sides of an excavation. Beam, lagging and driven sheet piles are frequently used for excavations open for long periods of time. JPC typically uses hydraulic shoring for trenches during utility construction which have a shorter overall schedule. JPC will construct the designated systems in a professional manner while always following OSHA and site-specific safety guideline. The result will be an impressive soil retention system that while visible will protect those on and around the construction site, and after construction is complete will be unknown to have ever existed.

Utility Construction
JPC has worked on municipal projects that involve excavations over 80 feet deep to achieve desired flows, as well as common trenches for shallower installation with the added challenge of working in the middle of city streets around pedestrian and vehicle traffic. JPC also is able to coordinate the execution of multiple utility installations. This can be in the form of large common trenches, which incorporate electric, communication, high-pressure steam, storm water, natural gas, and sanitary waste all running next to each other.

READ MORE> JPC utilizes the proper equipment to install utilities and ensure that the intended paths and directions are met. Deep excavations are uniquely performed to allow for safety at all times while still permitting access for the utility installation. JPC makes use of trench boxes and hydraulic shoring to define the construction area and keep work progressing. With the aid of computers and other technologies, JPC can also ensure not only precise placement of underground utilities, but also proper documentation and recording for future needs.

JPC has a great reputation with local vendors to ensure material and services will always be available when needed. This includes hauling for removal of excess material, as well as suppliers of all types of pipe, stone, precast structures, and accessories needed for complete installation of utilities.

Many other projects require specialty items, and JPC’s office staff will research the most cost effective and time sensitive suppliers to meet the engineer’s specifications while also keeping the project progressing. This reputation is not only with suppliers, but also with many public and municipal entities that repeatedly turn to JPC for input on projects and the comfort of knowing a capable contractor is completing their project.

Demolition and Recycling
JPC offers a single point of contact to remediate environmental hazards such as asbestos or contaminated soil and demolish existing structures, as well as prepare the site and excavate for new construction. Hiring one contractor for these activities will assist in many ways to save both time and money. This means the flow of construction will not be interrupted, responsibility of duties are very clear, and your onsite representatives will have fewer separate companies to coordinate.

READ MORE> JPC will schedule and direct our forces to complete the work as planned and work with you to meet all goals. JPC has experience with private developers clearing large plots of land for new housing construction, commercial demolition of large downtown buildings to make way for new hospitals and hotels, and selective demolition on behalf of municipal departments for dilapidated homes and emergency response situations.

JPC also has the capability of recycling all demolition materials, providing many important benefits for our clients. First, in a time where respect for the environment is of such high importance, the recycling of materials can help meet ecological goals. JPC is knowledgeable of LEEDs requirements, a nationwide program that is becoming more common on jobsites, which encourages the use of recycled material in new construction, as well as the documented disposal of materials leaving the jobsite. Another advantage of recycling is the lower cost of certain materials such as aggregate and steel. JPC has the resources to obtain these products, which in turn mean lower costs of construction for our clients. Finally, recycling can also increase production because fabrication and delivery of products can be shorter and more readily available. JPC will help ensure both an environmentally sensitive and cost effective demolition of any site.

Safety
Our attention to the safety of employees and the public is not only the responsible and moral thing to do, but also yields an overall cost reduction to our clientele. Safe business practices equate to savings for JPC that are then passed on to the general contractors and project owners of each project we undertake. The Safety and Health Department consists of the Safety Director, Assistant Safety Director and multiple field safety specialists.

Field Safety Specialists
Field safety specialists are assigned on a project-by-project basis and the number of specialists assigned to a project varies depending upon the job requirements. A field safety specialist’s only duty is to constantly oversee on-site safety practices. These employees work together with site supervisors as well as the Director and Assistant Director of Safety to insure compliance with all federal, state and local regulations. The minimum training requirement of a field safety specialist consists of completion of a 30-hour OSHA Construction Safety and First-Aid/CPR course. Additional training is also provided through the in-house resources of the Safety and Health Department, the Risk Management Department of our insurance carrier, American Red Cross, OSHA National Resource Center , Local Unions, AGC of America, and other reliable providers.
