Frequently Asked Questions
What role do retaining structures play in erosion control?
Retaining structures such as gabion walls, log barriers, or rock armouring are used to stabilise slopes and prevent soil from being washed away. These structures absorb the force of flowing water, reducing surface runoff and controlling the speed of erosion. They are especially effective in steep areas, creek banks, and construction sites where vegetation alone may not provide sufficient protection. Gabion walls, made of wire cages filled with rock, are popular for their flexibility and durability. Installing these structures alongside vegetation planting offers a comprehensive erosion control strategy. Proper design and installation ensure they perform well over time with minimal maintenance.
What safety measures should be followed during excavation work?
Excavation poses several risks, including ground collapse, machinery hazards, and striking underground utilities. Before digging, always locate and mark underground services using Dial Before You Dig services. Sites should be assessed for soil stability, and proper trench shoring or benching must be used in deep excavations. Operators should wear appropriate PPE, including helmets, high-visibility gear, and steel-capped boots. Barriers or fencing must be installed to restrict access to hazardous areas. Machines should only be operated by trained personnel, with regular maintenance checks. Clear communication and site supervision are essential to reduce accidents. Safety compliance isn’t optional—it’s a legal and moral responsibility.
Can wet hire services be used for residential projects?
Yes, wet hire services are commonly used for residential projects, especially when tasks require specialised machinery or experienced operators. Projects such as landscaping, driveway excavation, trenching for utilities, or pool digging often benefit from wet hire because it ensures the work is completed quickly, safely, and professionally. Many homeowners or small builders may not have the licences or confidence to operate machinery like mini-excavators, skid steers, or trenchers. With wet hire, the equipment arrives with a trained operator who understands site safety and efficient work methods. It’s a practical solution that saves time, reduces stress, and helps deliver quality results on time.
