Civil & Rural Earthworks Services We Offer
Trenching, Drainage & Stormwater Works
Poor drainage is one of the most damaging issues on rural and residential properties in the Mackay region, particularly after the wet season. Water that pools, runs into structures, or washes out driveways and access tracks causes ongoing damage that compounds with every rain event. We repair and construct practical drainage solutions to suit your needs.

Stormwater culvert and causeway construction and repair
Creek bank drainage and erosion control works
Drainage channel clearing and reinstatement

Driveway Construction & Repair
Rural driveways across Mackay, Sarina, Eton and Pioneer Valley take a battering during the wet season, washed-out surfaces, eroded shoulders, damaged culverts and boggy sections that make access difficult or impossible.
