What is bulk earthworks and why is it important?
Bulk earthworks involve the removal, moving or addition of large volumes of soil or rock to reshape land for construction. This can include cut and fill operations, trenching and backfilling.
Bulk earthworks are essential to create a level, stable and well-drained surface that supports structures such as roads, buildings and retaining walls. The process also helps prevent future issues like erosion, water pooling or foundation instability. Precision is key, and GPS-guided machinery is often used to achieve exact specifications. A successful earthworks phase sets the stage for the rest of the project to proceed smoothly.
What’s the difference between a subdivision and general site prep?
Subdivision work involves dividing land into multiple lots for residential or commercial use, while general site prep focuses on readying a single site for construction. Subdivision includes road building, utility services, drainage systems and compliance with town planning laws. General site prep may involve clearing vegetation, levelling land and improving access.
Both require earthworks, drainage and grading but subdivisions are more complex due to the number of elements involved and the need for council approval. Understanding the scope of your project helps determine which service best suits your needs.
