Comprehensive Civil Works

From site preparation to infrastructure installation, our civil works team handles complex projects across Townsville and regional Queensland with precision and care.

Geo-Technical Contracting & Site AccessGeo-Technical Contracting & Site Access — soil sampling

Geo-Technical Contracting & Site Access

We partner with geo-technical engineers to provide full site support — pushing tracks through dense vegetation, slashing long grass, and excavating test pits so your team can get straight to work. Our 5T Hitachi excavator and skid steer can access remote and overgrown sites that larger machines can't reach. We assist with soil sampling programs and core sampling for carbon credit assessments, helping landowners and consultants meet their investigation requirements efficiently and safely.

Re-levelling & Underlay PreparationRe-levelling & Underlay Preparation — soil sampling

Re-levelling & Underlay Preparation

Whether it's a commercial service yard, a civil construction site, or a residential lawn that's uneven, waterlogged, or just not draining properly — we can fix it. We strip, re-level, and re-grade to restore proper fall and drainage. Our skid steer and excavator handle everything from large civil earthworks to residential underlay preparation for turf, leaving a clean, level surface ready for gravel, concrete, or a fresh lawn.
