Earthworks and drainage in Aldgate.
Aldgate (5154) lies 15.6 km south-east of the Adelaide CBD, in the Adelaide Hills Council. Earthworks here start with the ground and finish with water: clay loams over shallow rock along the gully lines, on blocks that are steep, timbered blocks with gullies running wet through winter. Pads, benching and stormwater are built to the approved drawings, with the cut-and-fill balance worked out before the first bucket.
Civil work in Aldgate

Aldgate is built on clay loams over shallow rock along the gully lines, and its blocks are steep, timbered blocks with gullies running wet through winter. This page covers earthworks and drainage there, from first set-out to the documentation the certifier needs.
Compaction you can show
Pads are compacted in lifts with testing arranged to the level your engineer specifies, and the test results travel with the completion documents. Where the ground is clay loams over shallow rock along the gully lines, doing it by eye is not good enough and the paperwork is not optional.
Pricing civil work in Aldgate
For Aldgate, the quote names the machine, the cart-off allowance and the testing, so the scope is priced against the drawings rather than guessed at. Rock found below the expected level is handled as a documented variation.
The ground under Aldgate
Aldgate is built on clay loams over shallow rock along the gully lines. The blocks here are steep, timbered blocks with gullies running wet through winter, so the first question on any job is what the machine will actually meet. Machine selection, batter angles and compaction all follow the ground rather than a template.
Water first in Aldgate
Water always wins, so we route it first. Building pads, benching, cut-and-fill balancing and the stormwater that keeps all of it dry: fall-tested before anything is buried. On Aldgate's clay loams over shallow rock along the gully lines the moisture at compaction matters as much as the number of passes.

Where Aldgate drainage fails
Most drainage problems at Aldgate are not the pipe, they are the level: a run laid too flat to move water, a pad graded back toward the house, or discharge pushed onto a neighbour. Every run is fall-tested before backfill, which is the cheapest moment to fix a flat pipe, long before the paving or slab goes down.
