Bulk Excavations

Put simply, a bulk excavation is where large amounts of soil, rock and other materials are moved from one area to another.

Before building work can begin, the ground needs to be level and at the appropriate height – which explains why soil or rock needs to be added or removed.

In most cases, bulk excavations are required on construction sites where roads, railways, buildings, car parks and other infrastructure is being built. But more recently, they are being used to clear underground spaces – particularly in built-up areas where space is limited.

Bulk excavation is carried out in one of two ways, either:

• an area of land is excavated (removing soil, rock and sediment) or
• an area is constructed at a new height or shape by laying more soil or rock

Whilst the right plant for the excavation largely depends on the material being dug, how accessible the site is, and the amount of material that needs moving, these projects require a lot of industrial machinery.

For areas where space is at a premium and access is awkward or difficult, smaller machines (i.e. those with zero swing) are favourable, whereas bigger models are better suited to large-scale projects. In addition to this, dump trucks, bulldozers, and rollers will often be needed during bulk excavations.

At Grundy & Co, our bulk excavation service proves extremely popular for infrastructure projects, and it’s clear to see why.

We calculate the exact amount of rock and soil required to bring the land to the right level for building foundations – keeping waste and shortages to a minimum – and aim to reuse as much material as possible. That means, if the excavated materials cannot be used again on-site, we will transport them using our trucks so they can be used for other projects.

It’s difficult to provide an exact figure for excavations as they come in all shapes and sizes.

Whilst the site layout, foundations and soil type can impact the price of bulk excavations, it’s also worth considering additional costs, such as a CCTV drain survey and drain repairs, if necessary.
