Agriculture Earthworks for Armidale Conditions

  • Soils and ground
    We shape, compact and stabilise black soils, clays and granites with the right methodology for long term performance under Earthworks.
  • Rain and storm events
    Access, formations and drains are designed to withstand the region’s intense downpours, with energy dissipation where needed via Civil Works.
  • Creeks and crossings
    Causeways and culvert sizing consider flows, debris and fish passage as part of Civil Works.
  • Environmental care
    Sediment fencing, straw bales, stabilised entries and prompt rehabilitation help protect waterways and neighbouring land.


If you are preparing a renewable site in the region, our teams also support Solar Farms & Wind Farms with access roads, pads and trenching.
