From highest quality concrete to its efficient supply at the construction site, trust us to simply deliver!We pride ourselves on having helpful and friendly staff, and always aim to leave your site clean and tidy, which you don’t always find in our industry. We can offer small lorries (the same size as a 6 yard skip lorry), these lorries can carry up to 4.5m. Also 8m size lorries for larger amounts and when you have better access. Now we also can offer volumetric mix onsite lorries, or for when you have bad access we can offer our concrete line pumps.Our concrete pumps are becoming increasingly popular as they can be the answer to bad access and also save on labour costs and speed up progress of the project. We have line pumps (that run pipes along the ground) or our 24m boom pump (this has a crane arm that can be elevated). We can deliver a wide variety of concrete mixes from a shed base to water proof concrete. The process that they use is to make you aware of how much concrete is in the line that they have laid out, we make sure that we stop pumping when there is just enough room left in your site to take what is left in our hopper and the pipeline, when the hopper is almost empty, the operator will blow a ball by air pressure through the pipeline into your site so as to push all of the concrete into the site after this there will be about 2 wheelbarrows left in the hopper that can be wheeled into your site so there is almost no waste or mess at all.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the UK.

How long does an excavation project take?

The duration of an excavation project varies significantly depending on factors like:
  • Project Size and Scope: Larger, more complex excavations naturally take longer.
  • Soil Conditions: Rocky or challenging soil types can slow down progress.
  • Site Accessibility: Limited access might require more time for maneuvering equipment and hauling materials.
  • Weather: Inclement weather can cause delays.
  • Permitting and Inspections: Waiting for permits or inspections can extend the timeline.
Your excavation contractor can provide a more accurate estimate after assessing your project's specifics.

How deep can you excavate?

The depth of excavation achievable depends on multiple factors:
  • Soil Type and Stability: Stable, cohesive soils allow for deeper excavations than loose or unstable soils.
  • Groundwater Level: Excavations below the water table require dewatering techniques to manage water intrusion.
  • Equipment and Resources: The size and capabilities of excavation equipment influence the achievable depth.
  • Safety Regulations: OSHA and other safety regulations impose limitations on trench depths without proper shoring or sloping.
  • Project Requirements: The purpose of the excavation (basement, pool, foundation) determines the necessary depth.
Experienced excavation contractors can assess your site and project specifics to determine the safe and feasible excavation depth.

How do you protect utilities during excavation?

Protecting buried utilities is paramount during excavation. Here are crucial steps:
  • Utility Locates: Contact your utility companies to mark the locations of underground lines before excavation begins. This is usually a free service.
  • Hand Digging: Excavate carefully by hand near marked utility lines to avoid damage.
  • Potholing: Digging small test holes to expose and verify utility depths and locations.
  • Safe Distances: Maintaining a safe distance between excavation equipment and marked utility lines.
  • Vacuum Excavation: Using vacuum excavation techniques to expose utilities without digging, reducing the risk of damage.
Reputable excavation contractors prioritize utility protection and adhere to safety guidelines to prevent costly and potentially dangerous accidents.

How do I calculate how much dirt I need for fill?

To calculate the volume of dirt (fill) needed, follow these steps:
  1. Determine the Area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to fill. Multiply them to get the area in square feet (or meters).
  2. Determine the Depth: Measure the difference between the existing grade and the desired grade (how much you need to raise the ground). This is the depth of fill required.
  3. Calculate Volume: Multiply the area (step 1) by the depth (step 2) to get the volume in cubic feet (or meters).
  4. Account for Compaction: Fill dirt compacts when it settles, so add 10% to 25% to the calculated volume to account for compaction. The exact percentage depends on the type of fill material.
For complex projects or uneven terrain, consult an excavation contractor or surveyor for accurate volume calculations.
