Earthworks, Concreting and Underground Services in Sydney
SCE Corp delivers earthworks, concreting and underground services for civil construction projects across Sydney NSW. Earthworks and concreting services involve site preparation, bulk excavation, detailed excavation, concrete slabs, footings, pavements and structural concrete elements for commercial, industrial and residential developments. Underground services include trenching, pipe installation, drainage systems, stormwater management, sewer connections and utility conduits. Councils, developers, builders and infrastructure managers rely on our Civil Services category for projects requiring coordinated site works and compliant documentation. As an ISO certified civil contractor, we apply quality management systems across all earthworks, concreting and underground scopes regardless of project scale.
Service coverage
How we deliver
Civil earthworks projects require careful sequencing of excavation, material placement, compaction and surface preparation before concrete or underground works commence. SCE Corp conducts site assessments to identify geotechnical conditions, existing services, access constraints and staging requirements. Our team coordinates bulk earthworks with underground service installation to minimise double handling and reduce program duration. Concreting works are scheduled around curing times, weather windows and dependent trades. We maintain inspection and test plans, compaction records, concrete dockets and installation certificates for all civil works. This documentation supports council inspections, certifier requirements and project handover.

Frequently Asked Questions
1.What is included in civil earthworks services?
Civil earthworks services include site clearing, bulk excavation, cut and fill operations, site levelling, compaction, material cartage and preparation for concrete or construction activities. SCE Corp delivers earthworks for residential, commercial and industrial developments across Sydney.
2.How much do earthworks cost per square metre in Sydney?
Earthworks costs vary based on site size, excavation depth, soil conditions, access constraints and disposal requirements. Rock excavation and contaminated material significantly increase costs. Contact SCE Corp for a free quote based on your specific site conditions.
3.What underground services can be installed during civil works?
Underground services typically include stormwater drainage, sewer connections, water mains, electrical conduits, communications ducts and gas lines. Coordinating these installations during earthworks reduces costs and program time.
4.How long does site preparation take for a development project?
Site preparation timeframes depend on site size, earthworks volume, soil conditions and weather. A typical residential lot takes 1 to 2 weeks while larger commercial sites may require 4 to 8 weeks. SCE Corp provides detailed programs during quotation.
5.What is the difference between bulk excavation and detailed excavation?
Bulk excavation involves large scale removal of earth for site levelling or basement construction. Detailed excavation involves precise trenching and shaping for footings, services and drainage to exact levels and dimensions.
6.Do earthworks require council approval?
Major earthworks typically require development consent or a construction certificate. Sediment and erosion controls must comply with council requirements. Environmental management plans may be required for larger sites.
7.What soil testing is required before earthworks commence?
Geotechnical investigation identifies soil bearing capacity, rock levels, groundwater and contamination. Compaction testing during works verifies fill material meets engineering specifications. These reports support certification requirements.
8.How is concrete quality controlled on civil projects?
Concrete quality is controlled through approved mix designs, slump testing on delivery, concrete dockets recording batch details and strength testing of sample cylinders. SCE Corp maintains complete concrete records for all civil projects.
9.What qualifications should a civil earthworks contractor hold?
Civil contractors should hold relevant licenses, public liability insurance, workers compensation and quality management systems. ISO certification demonstrates consistent processes and documentation standards.
10. What information is needed to quote earthworks and underground services?
Provide site address, survey plans, geotechnical reports, civil drawings, scope description and any council conditions. This allows accurate assessment of quantities, methodology and program for pricing.
