Frequently Asked Questions
What should I prepare before machinery arrives on-site?
To keep things running smoothly, make sure the access route is clear and any obstacles like gates, cars or materials are moved in advance. If power or water access is needed, let the operator know ahead of time. Pets and livestock should be kept well away from machinery zones for safety. A quick chat with your contractor beforehand ensures everyone's on the same page.
What happens if the job is delayed by weather?
Weather delays are common in outdoor works, especially during wet conditions. Work is typically rescheduled once the site becomes safe and accessible again. Some delays may impact project timelines depending on site conditions. Clear communication between parties helps ensure adjustments can be made with minimal disruption.
How does excavation comply with environmental regulations?
In NSW, excavation must comply with environmental regulations that address soil erosion, sediment control, dust suppression, vegetation management, and water runoff. Stricter measures often apply in areas near waterways, on steep slopes, or within environmentally sensitive zones — with oversight from local councils and state bodies such as the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Depending on the project scope and location, sediment fencing, silt barriers, or temporary drainage systems may be required under a Soil and Water Management Plan (SWMP) or as part of broader development consent conditions.
