Importing topsoil to meet custom specifications can cost anywhere from $17 to $50 per cubic meter, depending on the location of your project. The costs in regional areas where cartage costs are high and technical expertise may not be available to achieve the specifications can be even higher. Earthcure is able to turn your ‘unsuitable’ materials into specification topsoils for reuse on your project.

Doing this means you are reusing your site’s materials, reducing the cost of disposing of waste and reducing the number of trucks on local roads around your project. It also means you are reducing the risk of importing contamination to your site. As well as the environmental benefits, making topsoil out of onsite materials can also generate savings of up to $30 per cubic metre. For big infrastructure projects, these savings are significant. For our mining industry clients with topsoil shortages, we can work to test and ameliorate overburden and turn it into topsoil.
