Construction & civil sweeping & scrubbing

On a live site, sweeping is a compliance control before it is a tidiness measure. We keep the access, the haul route and the public road in front of your gate clean while earthworks are still running — and we come back at the end to hand the slab over spotless.

In short

Wombat Sweepers provides sweeping, scrubbing and pressure cleaning for construction & civil sites across South East Queensland. The exit and the first hundred metres of public road, swept as often as the earthworks demand. Regenerative-air street sweeper is the usual machine. Daily – every 2nd day is the typical cycle. Commercial, industrial and civil only.

What we clean on these sites

Every quote starts with a walk of the site, so the scope matches what is actually there rather than a template. On construction & civil work, these are the areas that usually make the list.

Site access and haul routes

The exit and the first hundred metres of public road, swept as often as the earthworks demand.

Sealed hardstand and laydown

Grit, road base and spoil lifted off finished surfaces before it grinds them up.

New slabs and basements

Concrete sweep-down then a scrub to pull off tyre marks, render splatter and dust film.

Kerb, channel and gully pits

Sediment out of the channel and off the grates so the first storm does not carry it away.

Construction & civil

The machines we bring

Sending the wrong machine wastes everybody's morning. Here is what normally rolls off the truck for this kind of site.

Regenerative-air street sweeper

Fine sediment across a full lane width — the right machine for mud tracked onto a sealed road.

Ride-on sweeper

Hardstand, laydown areas and basements where a truck cannot turn.

Ride-on scrubber

Practical-completion cleans: lifts the grey film a sweeper leaves behind.

Construction & civil

What goes wrong without it

A directive with a deadline

Sediment on the public road gets photographed — by a resident, a council officer or the principal contractor. Scheduled sweeping costs less than a clean-up order.

Sediment in the stormwater

Grit washes into the network and out into creeks. Sweeping is the standard control named in most erosion and sediment control plans.

Grit as ball bearings

Loose material on a seal is a genuine skid risk at roundabouts, corners and crossings — and it accelerates wear on the surface.

A schedule that actually holds

Frequency is driven by how fast material arrives on the surface, not by the calendar. These are the cycles we see work in practice.

Daily – every 2nd day

While bulk earthworks and truck movements are running.

Weekly

Structure and fit-out stage, once the mud has stopped.

One-off

Practical completion, defect rectification and hand-over cleans.

Construction & civil — common questions

Something else? Call 1300 387 713 and talk to someone who runs the machines.

Can you work inside our traffic management plan?

Yes. We work to your TMP, and our operators are inducted before they start. If the job needs a spotter or a lane closure, tell us at quote stage and we will price it in.

How soon can you get a sweeper to site?

Usually within a day or two across South East Queensland, and same-day for urgent civil work when a machine is already out that way.

Do you sweep unsealed roads?

No — there is nothing to lift off gravel except the gravel. Sweeping starts where the seal starts, which is normally your site exit.

What happens to the spoil?

It is captured in the hopper and disposed of at a facility that accepts it. We can tell you where it went if your ESCP requires a record.
