Earthworks Contractors in Ireland
Earthworks is the movement and reshaping of ground on a site: cut and fill to design levels, bulk earthmoving, embankment and batter formation, placement of engineered fill and compaction to the specified standard.
Overview
Earthworks decides how much material leaves a site and how much stays. Balanced properly, it is the cheapest phase to get right and the most expensive to get wrong.
Rayco Civils is a civil engineering and groundworks contractor based in Monamolin, Co. Wexford, working on sites across Ireland. Send drawings or a site location and we will price the works.
Scope of works
Balancing cut and fill
Where excavated material is suitable, it is reused on site as fill rather than removed and replaced with imported stone. On sloping sites this can remove a substantial number of lorry movements from the programme.
Compaction and layer control
Fill is placed and compacted in layers rather than dumped in bulk. Formation is proof rolled and soft areas are dug out and replaced before anything is built on top.
Frequently asked questions
Can excavated soil be reused as fill?
It depends on the material. Granular material is often suitable; wet clays and organic material generally are not and would need to be replaced.
Do you provide compaction testing?
Where the specification requires testing, it is arranged through an independent testing provider.
