Excavating & Sitework in
Edwardsville, IL— Kuesel Excavating Co.

Getting in early makes all the difference. We partner with general contractors, civil engineers, and developers during design — not after bid day. Using AGTEK 2D cut/fill takeoffs and 3D earthwork models, drone-flown topo verification, and HCSS HeavyBid estimating built on real production data, we help shape smarter, more cost-efficient sites: balanced mass grading, minimized export, rock identified early, and utility routes value-engineered before they're drawn in stone.

• Value engineering & constructability review
• AGTEK 2D cut/fill takeoffs & site balancing
• 3D earthwork modeling & visualization
• Drone topo & existing-grade verification
• HCSS HeavyBid estimating with real production data
• Mass grading optimization & haul-off reduction

From mass grading to utility stub-out, we self-perform the heavy civil scope that gets industrial and mission-critical sites pad-ready. Large-scale earthwork, wet and dry utilities, and stormwater management — built on schedules that don't wait.

• Mass grading & building pad preparation
• Wet and dry underground utilities
• Stormwater detention & retention
• Generator yard hardstands & duct banks
• Preconstruction & constructability review
• Phased turnover on aggressive schedules

From raw ground to finished grade, we move dirt at scale. GPS-guided dozers, owned articulated truck fleets, and crews who understand site work — building pads, parking lots, road subgrade, and mass cut/fill built to spec.

• Mass cut & fill
• Site grading & building pad prep
• Roadway & parking lot subgrade
• GPS machine control
• Site balancing & haul routing
• Rock excavation

We install the wet infrastructure that sites run on: water lines, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and manholes. Our utility crews are MO and IL certified, running pipe from tap to structure with the schedule discipline site work demands.

• Water line installation
• Sanitary sewer mains & services
• Storm sewer pipe & structures
• Manholes & catch basins
• Detention & retention basins
• Lift stations
