Planning notes
Dirt work and equipment repair are related, but they are different scopes. The dirt request should still explain material, access, timing, grading, pad, excavation, or haul-off needs. The equipment note should identify the machine location, make and model, symptoms, access, and whether people are working around cuts, trenches, utilities, slopes, or traffic.
Use neutral safety and agency references when work involves excavation, trenching, underground utilities, or heavy equipment movement. Those notes help decide whether a site is ready for trucks, waiting on repair, or needs additional safety review before dispatch.
What to include before dispatch
- Pad use, approximate dimensions, finished height, and drainage direction.
- Material preference and whether compaction, proof-roll, or engineering review is expected.
- Gate width, truck access, overhead lines, and staging room.
- Photos, plan sheets, or notes from the builder, owner, or engineer.
