What is General Earthworks?

General earthworks involve modifying land surfaces to prepare for construction, access, or infrastructure installation. This includes excavation, backfilling, grading, compacting, and restoring surfaces to meet design specifications.

Unlike larger-scale civil construction, general earthworks are often completed on smaller sites or as part of preliminary works. They may include house site cuts, shaping rural driveways, trenching for utilities, dam clearing, or creating level platforms for future building.

Each task requires careful consideration of soil type, drainage, gradients, and environmental conditions to ensure a safe and durable result.

Technical Approach and Equipment

We use modern, well-maintained machinery to complete all general earthworks with efficiency and accuracy. Our fleet includes excavators, bulldozers, graders, rollers, tipper trucks, and GPS-guided equipment for precision work.

Whether working on detailed final trims or bulk excavation, our operators ensure consistent site shaping and compaction across all soil types. Material is removed or reused depending on project specifications, and we maintain clean, well-managed work sites throughout each stage.

Our in-house delivery model means tighter coordination, reduced delays, and a single point of contact for our clients.

Safety, Environmental Control and Compliance

Even on smaller earthworks jobs, safety and compliance are never optional. Hammond Civil follows structured WHS procedures, utility location checks, and erosion control measures before and during each job.

Where required, we install silt fencing, divert runoff, and manage vegetation disturbance to meet local environmental expectations. For jobs involving access roads or earthworks near boundaries, we follow council requirements and ensure finished levels are signed off if needed.

By managing risk carefully, we protect both the site and surrounding properties while ensuring long-term stability and drainage performance.
