SANDY BEACH 

Urgiles Brothers Excavating has played a central role in the ambitious Sandy Beach Road project in Pickering, ON. This multi-faceted project encompasses three major components: site grading and excavation, ground improvements with working platforms, and retaining wall construction.

​

Site Grading and Excavation
Our team undertook extensive earthworks, including excavation & export of approximately 50,000m3 of materials, as well as executing ESC1 measures, such as installing silt fences, swales, ponds, turbidity curtains, and overland flow solutions. Additionally, we performed precise site grading and cut/fill operations over an area of 15,500 m², ensuring optimal preparation for subsequent phases. We also placed 0.2 m of gravel under the slab-on-grade (SOG) and facilitated the removal of construction spoils, adhering to strict project requirements.

​

Ground Improvements and Working Platforms

As part of the ground improvement efforts, we supplied, placed, and compacted working platforms for various areas, including the building pad, exterior aprons, retaining walls, and storm tanks. This involved adhering to the ground improvements design criteria, utilizing over 40,000 mt of granular material, and integrating geogrid and geotextile systems to ensure stability and durability across all critical areas of the site.

​

Retaining Walls
Our work on the retaining walls represents a key milestone in this project. We recently completed the Gravix Wall, a 330-meter-long structure requiring the precise placement of over 250 individual pieces. This critical task was executed efficiently and seamlessly, marking a significant achievement. Additionally, we are progressing with the construction of the Clements Gravity Wall, which spans 76 meters in length, further contributing to the structural integrity and functionality of the site.

​

This comprehensive project reflects the scope and scale of our capabilities, highlighting our expertise in large-scale earthworks, ground improvements, and infrastructure construction. As the Sandy Beach Road project advances, we remain dedicated to delivering exceptional results at every stage.
