Transform Site-Won Materials into Valuable Resources
Groundworks®‘ mobile soil screening service helps clients maximise the value of materials already available onsite. Rather than disposing of excavated soils and importing replacement material, our specialised mobile screening equipment processes site-won material into reusable products suitable for landscaping, rehabilitation and construction applications.
By recovering and reusing existing resources, projects can reduce waste, lower disposal costs, minimise imported materials and improve overall sustainability while maintaining productivity.
Soil Testing and Improvement
Every project is different, and not all site-won soils are immediately suitable for reuse. Groundworks® can arrange comprehensive soil testing to assess the physical and chemical properties of existing materials, identifying opportunities for improvement and ensuring the finished product meets project requirements.
Based on laboratory analysis, screened soils can be enhanced with a range of soil ameliorants and conditioners, including:
- Gypsum
- Agricultural lime
- Dolomite
- Organic soil conditioners
- Other soil amendments as required
These materials are incorporated to improve soil structure, nutrient availability, pH balance, drainage and water-holding capacity, producing a higher-quality growing medium tailored to the intended landscape or rehabilitation application.
Producing Specification-Compliant Soils
Where required, Groundworks® can process and improve site-won materials to meet project-specific soil specifications.
Whether supplying soils for landscape construction, environmental rehabilitation or government infrastructure projects, our soil improvement process can produce growing media that comply with recognised industry standards, including:
- AS 4419 – Soils for Landscaping and Gerden use
- DTMR MRTS16 Form D – Manufactured Topsoil
- Transport for NSW Specification R178 – Revegetation
By combining laboratory testing, targeted soil amelioration and quality-controlled screening, we transform unsuitable excavated material into a valuable project resource while reducing reliance on imported topsoil.
