Environmental civil works · Sydney & NSW
Erosion and sediment control, drainage and living streams, bank and foreshore stabilisation, access tracks and fire trails, land maintenance, and solar farm maintenance and panel cleaning. Your DA conditions name most of it, and council doesn’t wait for you to get to it. We put it in, keep it working as the site changes shape, and hand you the photo record.
What we cover
Erosion and sediment control to the NSW Blue Book, the drainage and earthworks that go with it, the land maintenance that keeps a site tidy between stages, and ongoing maintenance on operating solar farms. Same crew, same number.
Silt fencing & sediment control
Silt fence is the backbone of it. Around that sit the socks, the inlet protection, the stabilised entry and, on the bigger catchments, the basin. We install the lot and we come back and look after it.
Pick what your site needs
Catchment matters
A fence is sized to what drains onto it. Run too much catchment into one line and it fails in the first real storm, and you pay for the fence twice plus the clean-up. We size the controls off the fall and the contributing area — and where the catchment is genuinely too big for a fence, we say so and put a basin in instead.
If you have an ESCP we build to it. If you don’t, we’ll tell you what the site needs before council does.

Environmental civil works
Drains that have to run like a creek. Banks that have to hold through a wet season. Tracks that have to carry a truck and still be there next year. It’s civil work, but it gets measured against the ground around it, not just a design level.
Open drains reshaped into channels that carry the water and hold their shape — regraded to fall, battered back, and armoured where it scours.
Bigger plant hired in where the reach or the rock calls for it.
Creek and river banks, dam batters and foreshore reserves — reshaped to an angle that stands up, and held while the vegetation takes.
Where the water moves fast enough to take the bank with it, it gets armoured. Filter layer first, then rock sized to the flow.
Getting people and machines in and out without cutting the place up, and leaving a line that drains.
Land maintenance
Sites sit. Verges grow over, stockpiles seed, lots that were cleared last winter are chest high by spring. We knock it back with the machines that are already on your job.
Low ground pressure tracks, so we can work soft ground and stabilised areas without chewing them up. Priced on the job — send the area or the lot numbers and we’ll come back the same day.
Solar farms
On a utility-scale solar farm the ground needs as much looking after as the panels. Tracks wash out, drains silt up, grass grows under the rows, dust builds on the glass and fire season doesn’t wait. One crew looks after the ground and the panels, so your O&M team can look after the generation.
We’ve built the access roads, trenching and in-ground infrastructure on a utility-scale solar farm, so we know how these sites run. Low ground pressure machines that won’t cut up the tracks between the rows. Priced per visit or as an ongoing maintenance contract.
Why it matters
Councils and the EPA don’t need to catch the whole site failing. Mud on the road, a silt plume in the gutter, a fence flat since the last storm — that’s enough for a notice, and the fine is the small part. The stop-work is what costs you.
Your DA conditions name sediment control. If it isn’t in and working you’re non-compliant from day one, before a cubic metre has moved.
A wash-out means re-doing works you already paid for, plus the clean-up, plus the days the site is shut.
Neighbours photograph mud on the road. Councils remember which builders keep a clean site and which ones they chase.
The advantage
Most sites run erosion control as a subbie who installs on day one and is never seen again. We’re already on site with the machines — so the controls get moved, repaired and reinstated as the earthworks change shape, instead of sitting where they were dropped in week one.
Sediment control
You don’t need to know what goes in the ground — that’s our job. Tell us where the site is, roughly how big, and when you need it.
