What is Site Clearance for construction?

Site clearance is an essential process that takes place before construction work can begin on a new development. It involves the removal of all unwanted trees and vegetation from a piece of land. This prepares it for any development work to go ahead.

Site clearance involves clearing and levelling an area of land for construction work to begin. This process is necessary to ensure that the construction site is safe and free from hazards. Additionally, it helps to ensure that the construction project can proceed efficiently, without any delays or complications.

What does site clearance involve?

Site clearance typically involves the removal of trees, bushes, and other vegetation, as well as any buildings, structures, or debris that may be present on the site. The process is carried out using a range of equipment, including excavators, grapple saws, whole tree chippers and forestry mulchers.

The process can vary depending on the site and the requirements of the construction project. In some cases, only minimal clearance is required, such as the removal of a few trees and bushes. In other cases, the site is completely cleared of all trees and vegetation.
