Shaping and leveling the ground surface to create proper drainage, support buildings, and meet design elevations.
The earthwork process of shaping the ground surface to achieve specified elevations and slopes for drainage, structural support, and aesthetic purposes. Grading includes both rough grading (establishing approximate subgrade elevations) and fine grading (achieving final design grades). Grading plans show existing and proposed contours with design slopes for drainage.
The grading plan directed all stormwater to drain at minimum 2% slope toward the proposed storm inlets.
