In-situ Concrete Walls

Our excavation services include bulk earthmoving, site benching, and land preparation. We ensure stable foundations, proper drainage, and soil compaction for residential basements and retaining wall construction.

At Urban Pour, we specialise in site benching and excavation, ensuring precise earthworks, stable foundations, and efficient land preparation for residential, commercial, and industrial developments. Our team uses state-of-the-art excavation equipment and advanced soil stabilisation techniques to ensure every site is properly prepared for construction, piling, or foundation work.

Whether you're developing a new commercial site, a high-rise building, or an industrial facility, our benching and excavation solutions guarantee safety, stability, and compliance with Australian construction standards.

What is Site Benching & Excavation?

Site benching and excavation involve grading and shaping the land to create level building surfaces or stepped terraces on sloped land.
These techniques are essential for:

  • Creating stable foundations for buildings, roads, and infrastructure
  • Preventing soil erosion and landslides on sloped construction sites
  • Ensuring proper drainage and soil compaction for long-term stability
  • Preparing land for deep foundation work, piling, or retaining walls

Benefits of Professional Site Excavation & Benching

  • Stable & Secure Foundations – Prevents soil shifting and settlement issues.
  • Enhanced Drainage & Erosion Control – Reduces water runoff and site instability.
  • Optimised Land Use – Allows for efficient space utilisation in sloped or uneven terrains.
  • Essential for Structural Safety – Ensures the site meets load-bearing and geotechnical requirements.

Our Site Benching & Excavation Services

Urban Pour provides specialised excavation and benching solutions, ensuring that every project starts with a strong, well-prepared foundation.

Site Benching for Sloped Land Developments

For projects on uneven terrain, site benching creates stepped, stable levels to support construction. Our benching solutions include:

  • Excavation and grading for sloped residential and commercial builds.
  • Reinforced retaining systems to prevent soil collapse.
  • Custom land profiling to suit site-specific engineering requirements.

Bulk & Detailed Excavation

We offer excavation solutions for all types of projects, from large-scale developments to precision earthworks. Our services include:

  • Bulk earthmoving for commercial and industrial sites.
  • Detailed excavation for foundations, trenches, and basements.
  • Site clearing and preparation for construction.

Basement & Underground Excavation

For developments requiring deep excavation, we provide:

  • Excavation for basements, car parks, and underground structures.
  • Precision earthworks for retaining walls and sub-level foundations.
  • Safe, efficient removal of excess material to ensure site readiness.

Soil Stabilisation & Compaction

Proper soil preparation is essential for long-term structural stability. We offer:

  • Soil compaction to increase ground strength for load-bearing applications.
  • Geotechnical assessments and land improvement strategies.
  • Moisture control techniques to prevent soil expansion and shifting.

Rock Excavation & Hard Ground Removal

For sites with rock formations or challenging ground conditions, we provide:

  • Specialised excavation equipment for rock removal.
  • Drilling and blasting solutions for deep excavation.
  • Efficient removal of bedrock for construction-ready land.
