Auckland's Most Reliable Earth Movers
New Zealand is renowned for its vast and varied landscape. The country is framed by ocean-facing cliff facades, with exquisite volcanic peaks and valleys cutting through the entirety of the two islands. While this prehistoric landscape's beauty is one of the characteristics that make New Zealand so unique, it does have its caveats. One of the most predominant challenges is faced by New Zealand's construction industry. Our unique landscape and soil profile mean that whenever new building developments or even renovations are performed, there is a relatively high chance that earthworks are required. This is particularly relevant to the Auckland area, where housing and industrial density are required from the construction sector, but the average plot of land is uneven and needs extensive earthworks to prepare the site for construction.
The Reliable Group has been transforming Auckland's landscape for over 15 years to set construction projects up for success. With a proven track record for efficient work, the Reliable Group offers extensive knowledge, experience and equipment to provide industry-leading earthmoving services across the entire Auckland region.
What is Earthmoving?
Earthmoving is the process of excavating and moving large volumes of earth or rock, usually with heavy machinery such as bulldozers, scrapers and excavators. It's a critical process in construction, as it helps to level off land to prepare it for building.
There are many different types of earthmoving that can be carried out on a construction site, depending on the specific requirements of the project. Some common types of earthmoving include:
- Excavation - This involves using machinery such as an excavator to dig trenches or holes in the ground. Excavation is often used for foundations, basements, and swimming pools.
- Grading - This involves levelling off the land to create a smooth surface. Grading is often used to prepare a site for construction or to create a level playing field. This is done by removing excess dirt and debris and is often done before building a new home, commercial development or building new roads.
- Landscaping - This involves using earthmoving machinery to create hills, valleys, retaining walls and other features in the landscape. Landscaping is often used to improve the aesthetic of a site or to create functional outdoor spaces.
Types of Earthmoving
Earthmoving can be classified into two distinct categories;
- Civil engineering projects: Earthmoving is a critical component of many civil engineering projects. It involves the removal, transport, and placement of earth materials to create a desired grade or elevation. There are a variety of earthmoving equipment options available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, excavators are well-suited for digging, while bulldozers are better suited for pushing and grading. When choosing earthmoving equipment for a project, it is important to consider the specific needs of the project. Otherwise, the earthmoving process can be very inefficient and costly.
- Construction projects: One of the most important aspects of any construction project is earthmoving. This process refers to the removal, redistribution, and/or replacement of earth materials, including both soil and rock. Earthmoving can be necessary for a variety of reasons, such as preparing a site for new construction or clearing debris from an existing structure. The type of earthmoving equipment used will vary depending on the specific needs of the project. Some common earthmoving machines include bulldozers, excavators, and loaders. With the help of these powerful machines, construction crews are able to quickly and efficiently move earth materials around a site. As a result, earthmoving plays a vital role in ensuring that construction projects can progress smoothly and on schedule.
The Cost Involved With Earthmoving
Earthmoving is a critical process in construction, but it can also be one of the most expensive. The cost of earthmoving depends on a number of factors, including the size of the project, the type of earthmoving required and the location of the project
