Excavators, wheel loaders and tipper trucks clearing and cutting large sites, including rock excavation.
These photos show heavy earthworks on large construction sites: excavators cutting and breaking rock, wheel loaders loading tipper trucks, and trucks hauling spoil away. Earthworks come first on most projects, preparing the ground for foundations.
These photos show heavy earthworks on large construction sites. Tracked excavators cut into earth and break through rock and large boulders, wheel loaders load tipper trucks, and the trucks haul the spoil away along the site roads. One photo shows a tipper truck dumping soil beside wheel loaders on a level site, as ground is formed ready for building.
Earthworks come first on most projects. Clearing, cutting and levelling the ground sets the levels for the foundations, and removing rock and unsuitable material makes sure what is built later sits on stable ground. Good planning of the trucks and loaders keeps the site moving and avoids delays to the foundation work that follows.
