You've got a lot of soil to move if you need a d8Got some soil to level. Around a weeks work for a cat D8 with blade on front how much would be a fair sum to pay an hour with us supplying fuel and how much fuel roughly would one use an hour?
You spreading it over an area or making a bund?Yes quite a bit. It's the contents of 2 400m railway tunnels
@Carl billingsThis would be one for Carl,the late Roly Billings son.he is on here occasionally but don’t know his name to tag him.id had thought you would pay in region of a £60/70 an hour
Nick...
pictures...They basically dug it out the railway and kept running on top and tipping it over the edge so it's made a near shear drop with a very wet gully down the rest of the field so the job is strip the top soil back push it down the valley about 200m grading it into the hole. It's a job that should of been done in 1859 but I'm guessing it was maybe a different land owner then and didn't want any spoil on his ground

Have you dug some trial holes nothing of value in there? You could sell out and charge tipping back inThey basically dug it out the railway and kept running on top and tipping it over the edge so it's made a near shear drop with a very wet gully down the rest of the field so the job is strip the top soil back push it down the valley about 200m grading it into the hole.

We have had some experience in this recently with a couple of clients (who found us through the forum) and this sort of operation would need planning permission as the scale of it makes it an engineering operation. There may also be need for Environment Agency licencing and a Flood Risk Assessment.Would you need some sort of license to do that? A chap near me started tipping subsoil,then topsoil on about 5 acre....had to get retrospective Planning Permission.Fortunately he got it! He might have been able to pay a fine from the profits of his ‘free tip’ though!!! Many thousands of tonnes involved.
