Frequently Asked Questions
What are bulk earthworks in construction?
Bulk earthworks refer to the large-scale movement and reshaping of soil, rock, or fill material to prepare a site for construction. This includes cutting (removing material), filling (adding and compacting material), levelling ground, and preparing areas for foundations, roads, drainage, or other structures. Bulk earthworks are essential for ensuring a stable, build-ready surface and often form the first major phase of a civil or infrastructure project.
What equipment is used for bulk earthworks?
Bulk earthworks typically require a variety of heavy machinery, including excavators, bulldozers, articulated dump trucks, scrapers, graders, rollers, and compactors. The specific equipment depends on site size, soil type, access, and project scope. Contractors like Ostojic Group maintain their own fleet of machinery, allowing for more efficient scheduling, better control of quality, and flexibility to adapt to changing site needs.
Do I need approvals before starting earthworks in Darwin?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the size and location of the project, bulk earthworks may require development approvals, environmental clearances, or erosion and sediment control plans. Projects near watercourses or on sloped land often require additional oversight. A qualified contractor can help guide you through the necessary approvals and ensure all work complies with Northern Territory regulations.
