Sitework & Excavation in Jefferson City and Central Missouri
Kuesel Excavating is a family-owned sitework contractor based in O'Fallon, Missouri since 1963, about 125 road miles east of Jefferson City. We take selected private commercial and industrial projects in Central Missouri for developers and general contractors who want one self-performing site contractor on the job.
Why Central Missouri GCs bring us in
On a Central Missouri job, the site scope stays with one crew and one schedule instead of being split across several subs:
- Self-performed earthwork, mass grading, and building pads
- Site water, sanitary, and storm utilities
- Lime and cement soil stabilization and full-depth reclamation
- Union crews, including Operating Engineers Local 513
River bluffs and bottoms: what to plan for
In general, sites along a river corridor fall into two types. Bluff and upland sites often bring slopes, cut-and-fill balancing, and rock to plan around. Bottomland sites more often bring soft or wet subgrade and groundwater near the surface, which is where proof rolling and stabilization decisions matter.
The geotechnical report for the specific site governs. Send it with the plans and we will price the earthwork and any subgrade treatment it calls for.
