Working with ground conditions
Sydney sites vary widely. Our methodology and quote reflect the actual ground. Where excavation is deep or close to boundaries, shoring is installed as part of the same package.
Spoil is classified with your environmental consultant under NSW EPA guidelines, then taken to licensed facilities with dockets kept. Suitable material is reused on site to cut cost.
Excavators of various sizes, skid steers, loaders, smooth drum and padfoot rollers, and tippers. Owning the fleet means we control availability and adjust fast when the programme changes.
Our remediation service takes over without delay, with no change of contractor.
FAQ
Bulk excavation removes large volumes of material to reach a general level, such as a basement. Detailed excavation is the more precise work that follows, such as footings, pits and trenches.
Yes. We use hydraulic hammers and rock saws to break and remove sandstone and shale, and we manage vibration near neighbouring structures.
Yes. We arrange waste classification, haulage and disposal at licensed facilities, and provide disposal dockets.
For most excavations, particularly basements and sloping sites, yes. It tells us what ground to expect and informs the excavation and shoring method.
Yes. We obtain service plans and arrange service location before excavation begins.
