Bulk Excavation in Tunbridge Wells, Oxted and the Surrounding Areas
When planning a large-scale construction project, you will need to prepare for every stage. The first thing you need to sort out is the bulk excavation. This is a big job that needs to be carried out before any other work can take place. Our groundwork contractors at South East Groundworks Ltd have decades of experience working on excavations for our clients in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and Hertfordshire, including Sevenoaks, Bromley, Croydon, Dartford, East Grinstead, Maidstone, Orpington, Oxted, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and the nearby areas.
For more about our bulk excavation, and our other services, please click onto our previous works and contact us if you have any queries.
Below, we go through all the information you need to know about excavation.
What is Bulk Excavation?
It is, quite simply, the process of removing vast amounts of rock and soil from one area to another. This is usually done for large-scale construction projects. It levels out the site and ensures it is the right height.
As an added service, South East Groundworks provides demolition for our clients, removing all waste created before excavating.
What We Do
There are two ways to complete this type of excavation. Firstly, by removing the soil and rock from the site. The second way to complete excavation is to remove the sediments and then re-use it elsewhere. This increases the height and level of the land.
To ensure we keep waste to a minimum, we need to do some calculations. This will cut down on costs for our clients. Our groundwork contractors calculate the precise volume of earth needed to finish the project, making use of a specific software. From this we can determine where the excavated earth can be used again.
It is very important to use the right equipment for bulk excavation. For example, there may be large pieces of rock that need removing, which requires specialised machinery. At South East Groundworks Ltd, we make use of many types of heavy-duty equipment to complete the excavations, including:
- Diggers
- Bulldozers
- Blasting Equipment
- Dump Trucks
It is very important that you make use of professionals for your excavation projects. This is due to the specialised knowledge and skills that are only gained over time.

Soil Types
When working on a new project, our groundwork contractors need to know what type of soil we are dealing with. This is to ensure we are making use of the correct machinery for the job. The harder the soil, the stronger the equipment.
Below are examples of the different types of soil we encounter:
- Loose Soil – Easy
- Clay or Gravel – Medium
- Broken Rock – Medium/Hard
- Boulders – Hard
