Muckaway Emissions Are the Next Big Tender Question—Are You Ready?
It’s the least glamorous part of construction—muckaway, spoil removal, site clearance. But it’s becoming one of the most high-stakes items in public tenders.
Why? Because muckaway and site clearance are major Scope 3 emissions sources—and now they’re being scrutinised by procurement teams, auditors, and investors alike.
County Councils Are Asking New Questions
Public buyers aren’t just asking if you’re tracking emissions—they’re asking how. In recent tender scoring, bidders were asked:
Can you provide CO₂ per load removed?
Can you break down emissions per shift or material type?
Do you differentiate between full vs return trip emissions?
If you answered no or guessed, you’re already falling behind.
The Hidden Carbon in Muckaway
Site clearance emissions come from:
Haulage fuel (especially idling and stop-start driving).
Repeated trips with low load efficiency.
Long-distance waste transfers with no route optimisation.
If you're still using paper tickets and verbal load counts, you’re:
Missing your real carbon output.
Failing to meet CSRD Scope 3 criteria.
Exposed to greenwashing claims and audit failure.
Hub360 Solves the Problem at Source
Hub360 tracks every load, vehicle, and journey using GPS-integrated telematics. That means:
CO₂ per job, per truck, per shift—automated and traceable.
Real-time dashboards for project teams and buyers.
Auditable data for tender responses, ESG scoring, and CSRD reporting.
Case Study: Tender Win Through Muckaway Data
One contractor won a county council resurfacing job after proving they could:
Track CO₂ by tonnage moved.
Show emissions reduction through route optimisation.
Provide live emissions data with every load.
The difference? Their competitor guessed. They didn’t.
Don’t Let Muckaway Be Your Weak Link
If you're involved in site clearance or tipper truck logistics—and you're not tracking emissions with live data—you’re at risk.
Hub360 helps you eliminate the guesswork, strengthen your tenders, and meet the rising bar for sustainability in public procurement.
