Stabilized Construction Entrance Installation

Mud tracked onto the public road is the first thing a code officer sees from the truck. A stabilized entrance knocks it off the tires before they leave the site, which keeps the SWPPP log clean and the street sweeper off your invoice.

What a stabilized entrance is

A stabilized construction entrance is a pad of coarse stone over geotextile fabric where trucks leave the site for a paved road. The stone knocks mud off the tires. The fabric keeps the stone from sinking into the sand. Most Florida stormwater permits require one, and of everything on the erosion-control sheet it is the item neighbors notice first when it is missing, because the mud ends up in front of their house.

How we build it

Built so it is still a pad in month six instead of a stone-colored patch of sand:

  • Subgrade cut and shaped so the pad drains back onto the site, not the road.
  • 8 oz nonwoven geotextile across the full footprint.
  • #4 recycled concrete aggregate placed 9 inches deep.
  • Length and width sized to the haul vehicles, with a flare at the road.
  • Optional wash rack or tire-shaker where the permit or the site requires one.

Construction entrances built to spec

Our standard construction entrance is 12 feet wide by 50 feet long and 9 inches deep, built with #4 recycled concrete aggregate over 8 oz geotextile fabric. That is about 17 cubic yards of rock per entrance. The fabric keeps the rock from sinking into the soil, and the 50-foot run gives truck tires enough distance to shed mud before they hit the road. Need it wider to match a larger gate? We size it to your site.

The standard entrance, by the numbers

What goes into every pad we build:

  • 12' W × 50' L × 9" D
  • #4 recycled concrete aggregate (RCA)
  • 8 oz nonwoven geotextile fabric
  • About 17 cubic yards of rock per entrance

Installed with the gate and the site fence

The construction entrance sits just inside the double drive gate, so we plan them together. The pad is sized to match the gate opening, silt fence and/or perimeter fence runs on either side, and one crew handles all three from start to finish.

In customers' words

5.0 on GoogleRead them on Google
We got quotes from three different fence companies. Unlike the others, Eric Lawrence came out personally and provided a thorough detailed estimate, for a very reasonable price. Soon after signing the contract, Amanda very efficiently obtained the permit, and Eric and his helper installed the fence in two days time.
