Site cuts in Rockbank

A Melton crew for the cut, the spoil and the trenches. Levels to the plan, scope on the quote.

Short spoil runs, and rock on the quote

A Rockbank site cut is a local job from Melton. The Rockbank and Aintree guide puts it plainly: when the depot is in Melton, mobilisation is almost nothing and every spoil run stays short.

The clay is the same basalt-derived ground as the rest of the west, usually classed M to H. It digs cleanly when dry. After winter rain it holds water and smears under the tracks, which is when a wet cut can fail compaction and have to be done again.

Basalt floaters show up more often around Rockbank and toward Mount Cottrell. The quote should say how rock is handled — breaker time and extra disposal loads — before the machine starts. Lots are often handed over well graded, so the detailed cut is shallow, and estate rules on crossovers and mud still apply.
