Bulk Earthworks
Overview
Our team is perfectly placed to be able to offer you support with your earthworks project. Because of our mix of consultancy and on-site testing experience we can complete design, site investigation and verification.
We have experience of supporting clients on sites from 25 m3 through to 150,000 m3 of engineered fill.
Design
We will work with your civil engineer to produce a detailed earthworks specification tailored to your site.
This will be supported with a thorough site investigation to establish whether sit won materials are suitable for re-used, and to establish the formation strength.
Classification
As part of our site investigation service, we have a range of tools available to quickly and accurately classify materials in accordance with highways specification.
If your site-won material is not suitable, our expert engineers will advise on ways to improve the material perhaps through crushing or grading to achieve the specified requirements.

Watching Brief & Verification
To offer full peace of mind, we offer a bulk-earthworks verification service.
We can provide a full-time dedicated engineer on site for the duration of your project to undertake verification testing on a daily basis. We can conduct the following verification tests in house:
- Density testing
- Ground Bearing Pressure – Plate Bearing Tests
- Ground Bearing Pressure – Lightweight Deflectometer
- CBR Value – CLEGG Hammer
- CBR Value – DCP
- CBR Value – MEXE Cone
- Drainage – Percolation testing (2dimensional or 3 dimensional)
We can also undertake confirmatory boreholes / cores through the engineered fill, if necessary to prove consistency.
