Excavation & sitework · Kansas City metro & surrounding counties

Excavation & sitework across the Kansas City metro.

GeothermalKC digs, grades & prepares sites with a CAT 304 compact excavator & Bobcat MT100 mini track loader: drainage, building pads, footings, utility runs, ponds, driveway base & geothermal loop fields. The machines belong to All Under One Roof, the design build firm under the same ownership, which also designs & builds the buildings on a site GeothermalKC prepares.

Sitework scoped to the project it serves

  • Sitework is scoped with the project it serves: a French drain, the pad & trenches for a new building, a geothermal loop field or a pond on acreage.
  • Compact equipment gets through tighter access & is lighter on finished ground.
  • Engineering & permits come from the appropriate professionals where a design calls for them, & GeothermalKC digs to it.

Loop field trenching for a new system is part of geothermal heat pump installation, & existing loops are checked through geothermal replacement.

Pond excavation or dredging, where site & equipment suit

Digging small ponds & cleaning out sediment from ponds compact equipment can safely reach from the bank or a dry bottom.

Case by case: reach, bank stability, water level & haul off decide what is possible. Dams, work in streams & larger ponds may need permits or larger equipment.

Site & access questions covered at the consultation

Most surprises on small sites come from access & what is underground. Knowing these early keeps the scope accurate.

  • Width of the narrowest gate, gap or path the equipment has to pass through
  • Slopes, soft or wet ground, & where a trailer can unload
  • Overhead lines, trees, fences, septic systems, wells & irrigation
  • Underground utilities: locates are required before digging
  • Where excavated soil goes: kept on site, spread, or hauled away
  • What the finished site should look like: rough grade, topsoil, seed or sod, or ready for the next trade
  • Plans, surveys, HOA or local rules that apply to the work
