Land Reclamation Crews | Erosion Control & Grading Labor
Land reclamation crews from R&R Contracting — quarry, mine, brownfield, erosion, and grading labor across Maryland, DC, Virginia & the Mid-Atlantic.
Land reclamation crews from R&R Contracting supply OSHA-trained labor to GCs, mining companies, environmental contractors, and site developers tackling quarry restoration, mine reclamation, brownfield redevelopment, and erosion control across Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, and the greater Mid-Atlantic. When a site needs to be restored — whether from extraction, industrial use, or construction disturbance — R&R staffs the earthwork, erosion control, grading, and support labor the reclamation operation requires. Our crews work inside the scope of your reclamation plan, your safety program, and your regulatory compliance.
What Land Reclamation Crews Handle
R&R’s reclamation labor covers the earthwork and site-restoration scopes that make a post-use site ready for its next chapter.
Quarry & Mine Reclamation Labor
Regrading, slope stabilization, pit restoration, and cap-and-cover labor for retired quarries and mine sites. Crews work inside state and federal reclamation plans.
Brownfield Redevelopment Crews
Labor for brownfield site work — grading, cover placement, erosion control, and restoration support ahead of redevelopment. Crews aware of the additional documentation and safety protocols brownfield sites require.
Erosion & Sediment Control Crews
Installation, maintenance, and inspection support for erosion and sediment control systems — silt fence, check dams, inlet protection, and stabilization during active earthwork.
Site Restoration & Final Grading
Labor for restoring construction-disturbed sites to finish grade, including topsoil placement, slope finishing, and preparation for revegetation.
Soil Remediation Support Labor
Support crews alongside licensed remediation contractors — excavation labor for contaminated-soil removal, containment support, and cap construction.
Erosion Control Crews for Mid-Atlantic Projects
Erosion control is part of every active site in the Mid-Atlantic — required by state permit, MS4 compliance, and Chesapeake Bay tributary rules. R&R supplies labor for the installation and ongoing maintenance of erosion control systems on construction sites, linear utility projects, and reclamation operations. Crews know the inspection cycle and the repair work that keeps the site compliant through the full project.
Grading Contractors & Earthwork Labor
R&R works alongside grading contractors as a labor-extension partner on reclamation and restoration projects. Our crews handle the grade checking, rough-to-finish grading labor, and spotting support that lets your grading contractor’s operators and equipment run full productivity.
Brownfield Remediation Labor
Brownfield projects carry specific documentation, PPE, and work-sequencing requirements. R&R crews supporting brownfield work arrive trained to the project’s health and safety plan, ready to work inside the licensed remediation contractor’s scope with the additional care these sites require.
Soil Remediation & Mine Reclamation Support
R&R provides support labor for soil remediation and mine reclamation operations led by licensed specialty contractors. Crews handle excavation labor for contaminated-soil removal, cap-construction support, and the grade-and-restore work that closes out a remediation project.
Our Staffing Model for Reclamation Work
R&R is a labor extension for reclamation projects — we supply OSHA-trained crews that integrate into the licensed remediation contractor, the GC, or the mining company running the reclamation. Crews are badged, trained to the site’s specific hazards, and deployed for the hours and scope you define.
Why GCs and Remediation Contractors Choose R&R
- Minority-certified (MBE, WBE, DBE, SLBE) — meets set-aside and good-faith-effort requirements on public and federally-funded reclamation work
- OSHA-trained reclamation labor — crews trained to erosion, brownfield, and mine-reclamation site conditions
- Staffing model built for specialty contractors — labor integrates into your site management and safety program
- Full scope coverage — erosion control, grading, brownfield, soil remediation support, and final restoration
- Mid-Atlantic reach — crews positioned across MD, DC, VA, DE, PA, and NJ
How quickly can R&R deploy a crew to my jobsite?
In most cases, R&R can deploy a crew within 24 to 48 hours of a confirmed request. For ongoing projects, we maintain bench strength to provide same-day replacements if a worker is unable to report. Our active database of 2,000+ workers ensures we can scale to meet your timeline.
Can R&R install and maintain erosion and sediment control on active sites?
Yes. R&R supplies crews for the installation of silt fence, check dams, inlet protection, and stabilization systems — plus the ongoing inspection-cycle maintenance and repair work that keeps the site compliant with state permits, MS4 requirements, and Chesapeake Bay tributary rules throughout the active construction phase.
What certifications does R&R hold for minority participation requirements?
R&R Contracting Utilities holds MBE (Minority Business Enterprise), WBE (Women's Business Enterprise), DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise), and SLBE (Small Local Business Enterprise) certifications across Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, and Delaware. These certifications help prime contractors meet federal and local diversity participation requirements on DOT-funded and government projects.
How does R&R differ from a typical staffing agency?
R&R is not a staffing agency — we are a workforce partner. We don't send resumes or drop off day laborers. We deploy complete, supervised teams built for your specific scope. Our foremen report to your superintendent, follow your safety protocols, and meet your production targets. Every worker arrives OSHA-trained, drug-tested, and background-checked with same-day replacement capability built in.
Are R&R crews trained to work on brownfield or contaminated sites?
Yes. Crews supporting brownfield and contaminated-site work arrive trained to the project’s specific health and safety plan, the PPE requirements for the site, and the documentation protocols brownfield work requires. R&R works as labor support alongside the licensed remediation contractor handling the specialized scope.
