Import & Export of Material in Eau Claire, WI
Hauling in or removing soil, gravel, and construction materials as required
Construction rarely balances perfectly. Cuts create excess soil. Pads need more base. Grades change. Elevations shift. Managing material movement correctly is what keeps a project on grade, on schedule, and out of rework.
Serving West Central Wisconsin, 715 Excavating provides import and export of material services in Eau Claire, WI, and surrounding communities. We haul in and remove soil, gravel, and construction material so sites reach the correct elevations and remain stable before foundations, grading, and flatwork begin.
Why Contractors and Property Owners Choose 715 Excavating
Grade Control Focus
Material is moved to achieve design elevations, not simply removed or dumped.
Soil and Base Awareness
We separate unsuitable material and place structural fill where bearing capacity matters.
Clean Balancing
Cuts and fills are managed to reduce waste, hauling time, and rehandling.
Integrated Site Work
Material handling supports excavation, grading, drainage shaping, and foundation preparation without schedule conflicts.
When Material Import or Export Is Needed
Material movement is required whenever site elevations cannot be achieved using existing soil.
This commonly occurs when:
- Building pads must be raised or lowered
- Excess cut material must be removed
- Poor soils need to be replaced with structural fill
- Driveways or access routes require an additional base
- Drainage corrections change grade elevations
- Redevelopment sites contain unsuitable material
Balancing material correctly prevents settlement, drainage failure, and elevation conflicts later in construction.
Import & Export Services We Provide
Exporting Excess Material
Excavation and grading often produce more material than a site can safely reuse.
This includes:
- Removing excess cut material
- Hauling unsuitable or contaminated soils
- Clearing buried debris and spoil
- Removing over-excavated material
- Transporting material to approved disposal or reuse locations
Removing excess material allows pads, slopes, and drainage paths to be shaped accurately.
Importing Structural Fill and Base Material
Many sites require additional material to achieve design elevations and bearing capacity.
This includes:
- Importing engineered fill
- Delivering gravel and base aggregates
- Raising low building pads
- Building up access routes and driveways
- Replacing unsuitable soils with stable material
Imported material is placed and shaped to support foundations, slabs, utilities, and paved surfaces.
Material Placement and Grade Balancing
Import and export work is closely tied to grade control and drainage performance.
This includes:
- Balancing cut and fill across the site
- Establishing final pad elevations
- Shaping slopes and transitions
- Supporting drainage design
- Preparing surfaces for rough and final grading
Correct placement ensures the site reaches plan elevations without over-excavation or future settlement.
How Material Management Protects the Project
Poor material handling causes many of the problems that appear later in construction.
Proper import and export:
- Maintains accurate elevations across the site
- Prevents settlement and soft spots
- Supports drainage and slope performance
- Reduces rework before foundations or paving
- Keeps access routes stable during construction
Material movement is often coordinated with excavation, site preparation, grading, and flatwork preparation so the entire site remains balanced and buildable.
Our Material Handling Process
Volume and Grade Evaluation
We review plans, elevations, and soil conditions to determine cut, fill, and import requirements.
Controlled Hauling and Placement
Material is removed or delivered in phases, so grades remain accurate, and working surfaces stay stable.
Shaping and Stabilization
Placed material is shaped, compacted, and tied into surrounding grades so elevations hold through construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know how much material needs to be hauled in or removed?
We review drawings, elevations, and existing grades to calculate cut and fill volumes before moving material.
Can you remove poor or unsuitable soil from a site?
Yes. We remove soft, organic, or unstable material and replace it with structural fill or base material as needed.
Do you place and compact imported material?
Yes. Imported material is shaped and compacted so pads, slopes, and working surfaces remain stable.
Can material movement help correct elevation or drainage problems?
Yes. Import and export work is often used to raise low areas, lower high spots, and reshape drainage paths.
Will the site be ready for grading or foundations after material handling?
Yes. We leave surfaces shaped, compacted, and ready for grading, excavation, utilities, or flatwork installation.
