Site & Pad Construction in Fort Stockton, TX

Site prep and pad construction that gets the ground ready to build.

Site & Pad Construction is one of the most-requested services Rangefinder Excavation provides around Fort Stockton, TX. Ranch road building and culvert installation are our most frequent Fort Stockton-area projects, tied to both ranching operations and oilfield access needs.

Before a slab gets poured or a building goes up, the ground has to be right — graded to spec, compacted to bear the load, and draining the way the engineer designed it. Rangefinder Excavation handles site and pad construction across the Permian Basin, from commercial building pads to oilfield well pad construction.

Why Fort Stockton Property Owners Call Us

A pad built on properly compacted base carries loaded rigs and haul trucks without rutting or pumping
Grade shot to your plan tolerances, so the slab or the location sits where the engineer drew it
Fall built in from the start, so the first heavy rain runs off the pad instead of sitting on it
Cut-and-fill balanced on site where the ground allows it, which is the difference between hauling material in and moving it across
