What happens here
After demolition, proceed with large-scale excavation of the entire parking lot area, including the planned expansion. An excavator is seen loading soil and debris into a dump truck, highlighting the significant volume of material removed. The goal is to dig down to the proper sub-grade elevation, ensuring adequate depth for the new base layers and final paving. This often involves leveling the area to achieve a specific slope for drainage.
Goal: Excavate the site to the required depth and rough grade for proper drainage
