Site & Pad Construction in Pecos, 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 Pecos, TX. Well pad construction and drainage/erosion control lead our Pecos-area work, reflecting the region's oilfield activity and flash-flood-prone terrain.

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 Pecos 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

Ground conditions — Pecos, TX

Reeves County sits on the Delaware Basin side of the play — sandy, alkaline ground with caliche layers and long haul distances to base.

Almost no rain most of the year, then a storm that moves more water in an hour than the ground sees in months; erosion control is what keeps a new pad from becoming a repair job.
