Site cuts in Diggers Rest
A Melton crew for the cut, the spoil and the trenches. Levels to the plan, scope on the quote.
Slopes, and a basalt cap to allow for
Diggers Rest is in the same sloping-block note as Sunbury. A site cut on a fall is cut-and-fill: material from the high side placed and compacted on the low side, not a single scrape to one level. The guide says the basalt cap around Diggers Rest and Bulla is real, so a quote that assumes clean clay all the way down is the wrong quote.
Uncompacted fill on the low side is the failure we are pricing to avoid. Layers, the engineer’s compaction spec, and density testing on larger fills are what keep a slab from sitting on soft ground. If the design can step the platform, that can cut the volume — worth knowing before the plans are frozen.
We are based in Melton, so this is a known run rather than a one-off trip, and the quote still has to say how much spoil leaves site when the cut does not balance. Send the levels, not just the suburb.

Can the cut stay on site?
Sometimes the volumes balance. If they do not, the truck has to be able to reach the pad. Tell us about the track.
