🚜 Dirt’s Been Moving in Limerick! 🚜

Two weeks ago, Semmel Excavating officially broke ground on the brand-new Sheetz in Limerick Township, PA!

Since then, our crew has been hard at work shaping the site — transforming those first scoops of earth into the foundation of what will soon be a go-to stop for fuel, food, and convenience.

We’re proud to be part of bringing this exciting project to life — and if you’ve driven by lately, you’ve already seen how quickly things are changing. Stay tuned, because there’s a lot more progress to come!

We’re deep into the action over at the South Mall on Lehigh Street in Allentown, where a brand-new Giant Grocery Store is taking place of a former retail space. With demolition now complete, the Semmel Excavating crew has been hard at work laying the groundwork—literally.

We’ve already wrapped up the necessary excavation to prepare for the foundation and completed all the sub grading in anticipation for the start of construction of the building. With the groundwork in place, the site is set for building to begin.

Our team has been moving fast and efficiently to prepare the site for success. There’s still plenty of work ahead, and we’re proud to keep our crew busy doing what they do best—digging in and getting it done!
