What is bulk excavation?
Bulk excavation is the coordinated removal of large volumes of soil, rubble and existing slab to create the engineered voids needed for foundations, basements, attenuation tanks and service corridors. Get this phase right and the whole project benefits: accurate levels, solid foundations and a smoother programme from day one.
​
Precision plant, experienced operators
Why trust your dig to anything less than quality plant and seasoned operators? Quantum Group brings its own fleet of top‑quality excavators, dumpers and support plant, operated by crews who know how to read levels, manage spoil and protect surrounding structures. Machine control, laser levelling and experienced banksmen turn raw digging into predictable outcomes — reducing rework and keeping follow‑on trades on schedule.
A staged approach
​
How do you keep risk down while moving tonnes of material? Our bulk excavation follows a disciplined sequence:
-
Pre‑start surveys: site investigation review, utility tracing and trial pits to spot hidden constraints.
​​
-
Soft strip & clearance: removal of non‑structural elements and loose arisings so excavations proceed without obstruction.
-
Set‑out & control: laser levels and engineered set‑out to hit inverts and formation levels first time.
-
Controlled excavation: machine‑assisted bulk removal with handwork at sensitive interfaces and around services.
-
Dewatering & temporary works: pumps, wellpoints or drainage where groundwater affects working depth and temporary support where nearby structures demand it.
-
Spoil management: segregation, stockpiling, crushing or export as required.Formation & handback: stone blinding, compaction and as‑built records ready for foundations, slab or pipework.
