Earthworks & Site Prep in Puerto Aventuras: clearing, rock excavation and compacted fills

Every project in Puerto Aventuras starts with the platform: clearing, rock, fills and levels done right decide whether floors crack, pools leak and roads sink. The development stands on shallow limestone with sandy areas near the marina and beach; old streets often have thin bases laid decades ago that cause recurrent potholes and need rebuilding, not patching.

What We Do

Rock Excavation

Hydraulic breakers and rock saws for foundations, pools, cisterns, utility trenches and basements.

Cavity Detection

Probing and geophysical surveys where karst voids are suspected, followed by filling or bridging.

Haulage & Disposal

Spoil removed to authorised sites and reuse of excavated rock as fill where it meets specification.

Clearing permits in Puerto Aventuras

Solidaridad issues the licences, but inside Puerto Aventuras the residents’ association controls access, materials, colours and working hours, and street works need its prior approval. We confirm these authorisations before any machine enters the site.

Levels and runoff in Puerto Aventuras

Private streets drain to the marina, the golf course and infiltration wells, many of them silted up; cleaning and resizing wells is often part of any serious resurfacing project here. Platforms are graded so that rain moves away from buildings toward planned infiltration points.

Plants, materials and access in Puerto Aventuras

Located about 25 minutes south of our yard, Puerto Aventuras is supplied easily, but the single gate and security procedures mean trucks are scheduled in advance and restricted to set hours.

Traffic and work windows in Puerto Aventuras

Residents and visitors use the streets all year, so works are phased by street with detours and notices; heavy machinery is usually limited to weekdays and daytime by association rules.
