Let Us Help With MSE Walls, Curb & Gutter, Asphalt Concrete, & More as Part of Our Turnkey Site Development Package
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Retaining Walls
In Atlanta’s hilly terrain and tight urban job sites, stable grade transitions are essential. Earth Development delivers Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls as part of our turnkey site development services, helping you manage elevation changes, prevent soil movement, and support safe, buildable platforms for construction. The construction of this composite structure, consisting of alternating layers of compacted backfill and soil reinforcement elements, is installed with optimum coordination concurrently with the proposed infrastructure and site preparation to provide hassle-free site preparation for vertical construction. Earth Development ensures that the highest standards of quality control are met, and the finished product is both structurally functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Curb & Gutter Installation Atlanta
Earth Development alleviates client concerns by installing all types of curb and gutter, utilizing the most advanced GPS Grade Control and Laser Guided Systems, along with a team that has forty years of experience successfully performing this process every day.
Concrete curbs and gutters play a crucial role in managing water runoff, protecting pavement, and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of residential, commercial, or public spaces. These two complementary concrete structures work in tandem to channel water and debris away from the pavement, preventing flooding and erosion, and creating a clean, organized appearance that enhances the curb appeal of any Atlanta-area development.
Achieving the highest standards of quality control and meeting the ADA grade requirements requires a certain level of expertise and can be challenging even for the most experienced General Contractor. Failure to properly plan, prepare, and execute the construction of these structures can lead to a variety of issues, including premature deterioration, ineffective water management, and non-compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) code.
Asphalt and Concrete Paving Atlanta
Asphalt pavement is a type of paving material composed of asphalt, a mixture of bitumen and mineral aggregates.
Just as in installing curb and gutter, while paving may seem like a simple, straightforward feature, its combined function and installation process are anything but simple. Properly installed paving plays a crucial role in the overall functionality and longevity of a commercial, residential, or public infrastructure project in Atlanta. Earth Development’s team ensures that proper paving subgrade preparation is performed, maintaining grade control through the base installation to provide a finished asphalt product that meets Earth Development’s high standards of quality control.
Concrete Paving requires the same attention as Asphalt Paving, as it is somewhat stronger and more durable, given its everyday exposure to severe environmental conditions, such as high load points, diesel spillage, and other aggressive materials. Again, Earth Development’s team ensures that proper subgrade preparation is performed, maintaining grade control through the base installation to provide a finished concrete product that meets Earth Development’s high standards of quality control.
Pavement Striping and Signage Atlanta
Earth Development’s team ensures that proper surface preparation is performed for our clients, maintaining installation controls to provide a finished product that meets Earth Development’s high standards of quality control, all while ensuring safe public traffic control in accordance with the AHJ.
The most common type of striping is “fluorescent paint.” Fluorescent paint is a type of paint that contains pigments that glow when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. Fluorescent paint is often used to create brightly colored markings on the pavement, which can help direct traffic or highlight hazards.
Another type of pavement striping is called “thermoplastic.” Thermoplastic is a material that becomes malleable when heated, making it perfect for pavement markings. Once applied to the pavement, thermoplastic quickly cools and hardens, leaving a long-lasting and durable finish.
All types of pavement striping must be installed correctly, according to the plan design and the MUDCU code. Coordinating striping installation on a properly prepared surface can be tricky. With experienced crews and full knowledge of local codes, we deliver clean, compliant markings on time and without surprises so that you can move confidently toward inspections and occupancy in Metro Atlanta.
