Frequently Asked Questions About Earthworks & Earthmoving in Queensland
This typically includes tasks such as excavation, land grading, and the construction of embankments. Earthworks also cover the removal of soil and rock, adding stability to slopes and terrain, and managing the drainage and erosion of a site.
For specialised projects, this can involve tunnelling and trenching, often necessary for laying foundations or infrastructure like water pipes and cables.
At A Team Demolition & Civil, we treat each project with careful planning and precision to ensure compliance and a service that is tailored to your needs.
- Excavation: Removing topsoil, rock or large amounts of earth to create foundations for buildings or other structures..
- Land Grading: Levelling or sloping the land to prepare for construction projects, improving drainage, and preventing erosion.
- Embankment Construction: Building up areas with soil or rock to support roads, railways, or to prevent water from entering specific areas.
- Trenching and Tunnelling: Creating trenches for the installation of utilities like water, gas, and electrical systems.
- Dredging: Removing sediment and debris from the bottoms of lakes, rivers, harbours, and other water bodies to improve navigation, increase waterway depth, or create new land.
- Soil Stabilisation: Techniques to increase the strength and durability of soil, reducing the risk of erosion or shifting, especially in high load-bearing areas.
- Compaction: Increasing the density of the soil, which provides stability and strength to support the construction of roads, foundations, and other structures.
Excavation:
Specifically involves the removal of soil, rock, or other materials from a site, usually to create a cavity or hole. The purpose of excavation can range from forming foundations and basements to making way for underground utilities. It is a targeted action focused on the digging and extraction aspects of construction.
Earthwork:
Includes all activities that involve manipulating the earth’s surface. This includes excavation but extends to other operations such as grading, embankment construction, trenching, and compaction. While excavation is a key component of earthwork, the latter encompasses a wider range of tasks necessary for preparing and altering a construction site.
Here are some general guidelines:
- Local Regulations: Most local governments require planning permission for demolition to ensure that the process is safe, environmentally sound, and in line with urban development plans.
- Historical Significance: If the building is listed or located in a conservation area, you will almost certainly need special permission. These regulations help preserve buildings of historical and architectural importance.
- Size and Impact: Smaller structures and outbuildings like sheds or garages might not always require permission, but it’s crucial to verify this as local policies can vary widely.
- Environmental Concerns: Demolition can impact the environment, especially if hazardous materials like asbestos are present. Environmental assessments might be required as part of the planning permission process.
We understand you’ve got better things to do than read up on local policies or chase down your local council representatives. That’s why we help take care of all compliance and regulations to ensure your project moves forward on time, without unnecessary delays and with no potential penalties.
It’s important to get your demolition project approved to avoid any nasty surprises down the line.
There have been cases where, without approval, banks would not settle loans on houses and local councils end up looking to perform safety inspections on pools that are no longer there.
The approval process can be confusing and frustrating to tackle on your own. That’s why we fully assist with the application and approval process.
You sit back while we provide all necessary forms (we’ll even assist in filling them out).
We also provide all the proof of work and other information to the relevant departments.
On completion of the works, we provide a certificate that proves that the demolition works meet all relevant standards and also remove the pool from the council plan.
