Earthworks Engineering

Every lasting structure depends on a stable, rigorously compacted foundation. Backed by active CIDB Grade 8CE PE grading, Makhaswa Holdings provides mass earthmoving and platform terracing for mining, industrial developments, and commercial building sites.

Our earthmoving fleet of excavators, tipper trucks, graders, and compactors operates alongside precision surveying teams to achieve exact design levels and required Mod AASHTO compaction densities.

Earthworks operations are carried out under SANS 1200D specifications, ensuring accurate volumetric cut-and-fill balancing and verified terrace stability.
