What is mean by 'site clearance' ?
The process of removing any obstruction like trees, plants shrubs, bigger size stones etc. from field is known as site clearance.
It is very important factor to be considered in the job layout plane, before commencement of project work.
There should be not any obstruction like trees, plants, shrubs bigger size stones, etc.
Approach road should be wide so as to allow the vehicles for loading and unloading the constructional material.
If site ground is uneven, then it should be made plane, for this contouring is done in advance.
Study the final levels of the approach road. Before starting the line-out, site cleaning and fair levelling of plot should be completed.
This helps in obtaining the correct measurements without any obstruction.
In short, site should be cleaned properly by all the way otherwise no any other construction processes are carried out further.
Note that, for the cutting of bigger trees, an application should be submitted to the municipal corporation for permission and the actual cutting of the trees should be done as per the procedure of the muncipal authorities.
The process of site clearance is generally undertaken as part of enabling works, carried out to prepare a site for construction. It involves the clearing the site to allow other remedial, treatment or demolition works to take place before the actual construction works can begin.
It involves clearing a site of any machinery or equipment, unwanted surplus materials, rubbish, and so on. Site clearance may also involve clearing away vegetation and surface soil, and levelling and preparing the ground for the planned construction works. Care should be taken to ensure that there are the correct approvals in place, particularly for trees which may be protected.
