Groundworks put more mud on the road than any other stage of a build. Wagons leaving a wet site can coat an approach road in an hour, and the groundworker is usually the one asked to deal with it.
Typical sweeping work
- Approach roads and site entrances during excavation
- Wagon routes on muck-away days
- Estate roads on phased developments where plots are occupied
- Sweeping after trenching and reinstatement in the highway
- Cleaning down hard standings before the next trade
What to plan for
Tell us the muck-away programme and the wagon numbers; heavy days may need a sweeper in attendance throughout, while lighter days need only an end-of-shift visit. Wet clay is far harder to shift than dry spoil, so say what the ground is. If you only need a sweeper when it rains, ask about on-call arrangements.
Regular and multi-site work
Groundworkers running several sites can put all their sweeping under one programme. See nationwide contract sweeping.
Other services for the same site
Grab hire, tipper hire, muck away, aggregates, concrete and contaminated soil disposal are available through Waste Cloud. See supporting services.
