Earthmoving · Lismore

What the ground is like around Lismore.

Earthmoving is where a block becomes a site. Levels, drainage and where the spoil goes get decided here, and around Lismore the ground has opinions of its own.

Lismore has floodplain in the middle and hills all around it. With the flood rebuild still going, houses across the district are being raised, rebuilt and re-levelled, and the earthworks underneath that has to be right the first time.

Straight answers

Questions Greg gets asked.

Can you build a house pad on a sloping block?Yes. The cut is benched into the slope, the fill is placed and compacted in layers, and the drainage is put in so water runs around the pad rather than under it.
Do you take the spoil away?On tight and steep blocks the single axle 4WD tipper gets spoil out where a truck cannot. For bigger volumes Greg arranges the trucks as part of the job.
Do you dig dams?The 9 tonne excavator is the machine for dams and bulk earthworks. Talk the site and the catchment through with Greg before anything is dug.
