01 · Earthworks + formation
Earthworks, formation + reinstatement
Preparing the workfront, rebuilding the ground and handing over a stable, tested platform for everything that follows.

Earthworks + site preparation
Detail excavation, shaping and a compliant, tested base before any finished surface goes down.
- Detail excavation to subgrade, removal of unsuitable material and trimming to level.
- Shaping, batter formation and site-won or imported material placed to specification.
- Capping, crushed rock or crushed-concrete subbase and base layers.
- Moisture conditioning, layer placement, compaction and progressive testing.
- Conduit and sleeve installation ahead of surface works; sediment and erosion controls established before ground is disturbed.
- Detailed formation around kerbs, paths, crossings, garden beds and asset interfaces.
Removals + make-good
Controlled removal and reinstatement of existing external works, subordinate to the formation scope.
- Sawcutting, pavement and kerb removal, hardstand breakout and removal of redundant surface assets.
- Material sorting, loading, cartage, disposal and approved reuse where permitted.
- Temporary access, crushed-rock paths, ramps and staged reinstatement to maintain site movement.
- Localised make-good and tie-ins around completed works, services, pits and retained infrastructure.
Best fit
Staged external works where access, public movement, existing assets and follow-on trades make the interface as important as the quantity of material moved. Bulk earthworks, underground utility networks and major structures sit outside the package.
Rest of the package

Tender enquiry
Bring Navaroo in for the external works package.
Send the scope and we will review the workfront, confirm the interfaces between civil, hardscape and landscape, and build a practical site sequence around access, staging, testing and handover.
