1. Environmental Impact Assessment: An industrial project may have significant environmental impact, and it must comply with federal, state and local regulations. Before starting the project, an environmental impact assessment should be conducted to identify potential hazards and mitigate the effects.
2. Topography and Geotechnical Site Analysis: The terrain and underlying soils on the proposed site should be studied to ensure it is suitable for industry construction. A geotechnical analysis is essential to confirm the type of foundation that should be used.
3. Soil Stabilization: Depending on the soil type, the ground may need to be stabilized. Soil stabilization may require the use of underpinning, pre-loading, vibro-compaction or soil nailing.
4. Land Clearing: The site should be cleared of any debris, tree stumps, rocks, and other materials that may interfere with the construction activities. Vegetation on site may also need to be removed, depending on the site's location.
5. Site Grading: Level the site and create a slope where necessary to minimize the risk of flooding.
6. Access Roads and Transportation: The site must be accessible to vehicles transporting construction materials, equipment, and waste. Road access should be created and clearly marked.
7. Utilities and Drainage: The site should have the necessary utilities and drainage to support the project. The utilities may include water, gas, electricity, and sewer systems.
8. Safety and Security: The site must be secured and restricted from unauthorized access during construction.
9. Permits: The site must meet all permitting requirements and obtain the necessary permits to begin the construction process.
10. Site Maintenance: After construction, the site must be maintained regularly to prevent soil erosion, preserve vegetation and protect the environment.
