CIVIL
Site Work - Mass Grading – Storm Drain
Site work and mass grading involve the initial preparation of a construction site, including clearing, excavating, and reshaping the land to ensure a stable foundation for buildings and infrastructure. Mass grading refers to the process of moving large volumes of earth to achieve the desired contours, slopes, and elevations on the site. We utilize 3D GPS grading equipment to ensure proper yields on material and accurate elevations for subgrade, ponds and drainage systems.
Utility Works: Water and Sewer
Utility works in civil construction are essential services. This includes the excavation and laying of pipelines for water supply and wastewater management. Water utility works ensure that potable water is efficiently delivered to buildings, while sewer works manage the safe disposal of wastewater. Our projects often involve trenching, pipe laying, and connections to existing infrastructure, all while coordinating with other construction activities to avoid disruptions. At Heycon, we properly execute utility works which are critical for public health, safety, and urban development.
Site Concrete: Sidewalks, Curbs and Gutters
Site concrete involves various aspects of site preparation and development, such as foundations, slabs, pavements, and curbs. It encompasses the pouring, curing, and finishing of concrete to create durable, functional surfaces that support the overall structure and site layout. Whether it’s for driveways, sidewalks, retaining walls, or structural foundations, site concrete is a crucial component of civil construction. Proper site preparation, along with quality control measures, is key to achieving the desired results and maintaining the integrity of the construction project. Heycon coordinates site concrete along with earth moving scope to maximize schedule execution.
Demolition – Pond Repairs
Demolition in civil construction involves systematic dismantling or removal of existing structures to make way for new developments. It may include buildings, roads, or other infrastructure, and requires careful planning to ensure safety, minimize environmental impact, and comply with regulations. Techniques vary from manual deconstruction to mechanical demolition, depending on the size and complexity of the structure. Heycon is experienced in all facets of demolition and can plan and execute demolition projects safely and efficiently.
Pond Repairs focus on restoring or improving the functionality of a pond, typically in terms of its water flow, erosion control, and overall health. This could involve tasks like repairing embankments, reinforcing liners, or clearing sediment buildup. It’s essential for maintaining the pond’s ecosystem, ensuring proper drainage, and preventing future structural issues. Whether it’s repairing a natural or man-made pond, our goal is to enhance its durability and functionality while minimizing environmental disruption.
Underground Storage Retention Systems
An underground storage retention system is a crucial component of stormwater management, designed to capture and temporarily store runoff water below the ground. These systems help reduce surface flooding and prevent water from overwhelming municipal drainage systems during heavy rains. Typically,
they consist of underground tanks, chambers, or infiltration systems that collect and slowly release stormwater over time, either by infiltration into the soil or controlled discharge into nearby water bodies. We have installed multiple underground storage retention systems to satisfy a variety of customers’ specifications.
Concrete Paving – Laser Screeding – Asphalt Paving
Exterior concrete paving involves the installation of durable, high-quality concrete surfaces for outdoor areas such as driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, and roadways. Our process includes site preparation, forming, pouring, and finishing concrete to create a smooth, level surface that can withstand traffic, weather, and wear. Concrete paving offers long-lasting strength, low maintenance, and can be customized with various finishes for aesthetic appeal.
Asphalt paving is installed to create smooth, durable surfaces for roads, parking lots, driveways, and pathways. It involves laying a hot mix of asphalt — a blend of aggregates and bitumen — over a prepared base and compacting it to form a strong, weather-resistant surface. This process includes grading, base preparation, asphalt placement, and compaction. Asphalt paving is valued for its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and quick installation, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. Proper installation ensures long-lasting performance, reduced maintenance needs, and improved safety and ride quality.
Heycon utilizes 3D GPS equipment and laser screed for the placement of subgrade base materials as well as concrete or asphalt to ensure top quality results.
Concrete Retaining Walls, Culverts/Head Walls
Heycon installs concrete retaining walls to hold back soil, preventing erosion and providing stability on sloped or uneven terrain. They are commonly used in landscaping, road construction, and flood control projects. Made from reinforced concrete, Heycon constructs these walls to resist the lateral pressure of soil and water, protecting foundations, roads, and other structures from shifting or collapsing.
We install culverts which are drainage structures that allow water to flow beneath roads, railways, or other infrastructure, preventing flooding and erosion. Typically made of concrete, steel, or other durable materials, culverts direct stormwater or streams safely through embankments or underpasses. Proper design and installation are essential to ensure adequate water flow and avoid blockages, which can lead to infrastructure damage.
We also install headwalls which are structures built at the inlet or outlet of culverts, pipes, or stormwater channels to provide support, protection, and guidance for water flow. Typically made from reinforced concrete, headwalls prevent erosion around the pipe or culvert, ensure proper alignment, and help direct water flow into or out of the structure.
