Civil engineering schemes move large volumes of material over long periods, often across or alongside live roads. Sweeping is part of managing those interfaces safely.
Typical sweeping work
- Haul route crossings and plant crossing points
- Site accesses onto the public highway
- Sweeping during bulk earthworks and material import
- Cleaning surfaces before waterproofing, surfacing or line marking
- Compounds, laydown areas and temporary roads
What to plan for
Tell us the length of the scheme, the number of access points and the shift pattern. On long linear sites the distance to water and tipping makes a real difference to productive time, so say what is available on site. Operators can attend inductions where these are booked in advance.
Regular and multi-site work
Sweeping for the duration of a scheme is best set up as a programme. See nationwide contract sweeping and, for possessions and closures, out-of-hours road sweeping.
Other services for the same site
Tipper haulage, grab hire, muck away, aggregates, concrete and pump hire, and welfare facilities are available through Waste Cloud. See supporting services.
