Walnut Hills – Three Oaks Project

Sukut Construction, Inc. moved more than 17 million cubic yards of earth to create 268 mountaintop lots across 268 graded acres for this multi-million-dollar development. The company implemented innovative grading and reconstruction techniques to reshape mountainous terrain and create a safer environment for future communities. The use of GPS (Global Positioning System) technology for grade control also helped transform the way the project was built. The project was completed in just 17 months without any lost-time incidents.

The following is a brief summary of the work performed:

• Completed 17.5 million cubic yards of earthwork to create 268 residential pads.
• Utilized 50 scrapers to move approximately 1.5 million cubic yards of earth per month.
• Constructed 10 miles of concrete “V” terrace ditches to help drain water from the hillside.
• Installed 7,200 square yards of Geogrid fabric soil reinforcement along the main entrance corridor.
