Civil Engineering: Earthworks

Earthworks

Supported by a large modern, plant fleet, VHE is competitive throughout the UK in undertaking bulk earthworks as part of remediation, reclamation, infrastructure and development projects. Recycling aggregates and the production of development platforms with marginal materials are common features within these schemes.

Identifying innovative and cost effective ways of treating the earthworks elements of projects can very often be the key to their success. This is an area where VHE really can add value to their customers through an extensive range of in house expertise and experience. When you bear in mind that some of the projects we have carried out have involved excavating, handling and treating several million cubic metres of material, the importance of doing so in a structured, cost effective manner is all too apparent.

VHE has significant experience in earthworks, including large scale projects at former collieries, power stations and redundant gas works as well as major infrastructure and motorway projects throughout the UK.
