Earthworks, Remediation and Ground Stabilisation

MGL Earthworks is an experienced earthworks contractor delivering bulk earthworks, ground stabilisation, remediation and materials management services. Part of MGL Group, our specialist in-house team draws on over 55 years of construction experience, supporting clients with the knowledge, capability and resources to deliver projects safely and efficiently.

During the pre-development phase of each project, our technical experts assess ground conditions to understand risks before work starts and devise an optimised earthworks strategy, improving cost efficiency.

Supported by a modern fleet of heavy earthmoving plant, tipper trucks and specialist equipment, we deliver bulk earthworks projects across industrial and logistics, civils and infrastructure, and retail, leisure and education sectors.

Our Earthworks & Remediation services

Earthworks

Bulk Earthworks Specialists delivering projects from local infrastructure works through to large-scale, multi-million-pound developments.

Our specialist in-house Earthworks team deliver challenging projects supported by a modern fleet of heavy plant and machinery.

Ground improvement & Stabilisation

Using a range of ground improvement techniques, from impact compaction methods such as HEIC, RDC and RIC through to traditional piling, soil modification and stabilisation, we deliver cost-effective and sustainable solutions for each project.

Remediation

As part of our remediation works, we identify, remove and safely manage all unsuitable materials. Hazardous waste is excavated and disposed of at licensed landfill facilities, while non-hazardous materials are processed through our soil wash plant for reuse.

Supported by our in-house technical team who carry out testing and verification to ensure all materials are compliant and suitable for their intended use.

Recycling, Crushing and Processing of Materials

Waste management is an integral part of any earthworks project. We recycle tarmac and concrete through crushing, screening and breaking to produce high-quality secondary aggregates such as Type 1 and 6F, supporting compliant recycling and environmentally responsible construction.

Engineering & Technical Services

Our machines are GPS-enabled, using digital models to automatically control grading and excavation, improving accuracy and efficiency on site. This approach helps avoid over-digging, costly mistakes, and wasted material.

 

Throughout the project, our technical team carries out testing and verification to ensure the works are delivered as designed and meet all required specifications.

Recycling and Re use

Across the group, we’re committed to reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices across our earthworks, demolition and construction projects. Our fleet of mobile crushing plants can breakdown both concrete and tarmac to be used on the current site or another site within the group.

Our new soil-wash plant transforms excavated waste into clean, high-quality recycled aggregates, enabling the reuse of up to 500,000 tonnes of material each year and saving approximately 84,000 tonnes of CO₂.
