Rural earthworks that keep the farm running

Earthworks for a working farm

Farm earthworks has a shorter list of excuses than most construction work. The job has to fit around milking, the tanker has to keep getting in, the herd still has to walk somewhere twice a day, and the weather decides a good deal of the programme for you.

Scope Earthworks is owner-operated and rurally raised, running Komatsu plant set up specifically for agricultural ground. Lyndon quotes the job and Lyndon runs the machine, so decisions about wet ground, spoil and access get made in the cab instead of over the phone two days later.

Most of what we do on farm falls into four areas: effluent storage, feeding infrastructure, races, and drainage. They are connected more than they look. Storage buys you the ability to wait for the right day to irrigate. Drainage decides whether a race survives the winter. A feed pad is only as good as the fall and the pipework taking its run off into the effluent system.
