What is Civil Construction?

Civil construction falls under civil engineering which in itself covers a large range of disciplines in both the public and private sector. Civil engineering is a discipline that has been around since the invention of the wheel. Roman aqueducts are a prime example of ancient civil engineering and construction at its finest. Civil engineers design and then contract civil construction companies to build important core infrastructures which actively support public health and safety as well as economic growth and development. Infrastructures such as bridges, light rail transit lines, highways, roads, pipelines, sewers, subway tunnels, telecommunications and water treatment systems all fall under civil construction.

Here in Australia, councils, estates, hospitals, government departments and property developers are just some of the clients for whom Dig It provides qualified and professional civil engineering and landscaping services.

Our focus at Dig It is to provide a safer and more beautiful environment for both pedestrians and vehicles. Our specialised civil engineering services include minor road works, car parks, and retaining walls and systems. As part of this service we provide earth moving services as well as the hire of an extensive range of earth moving equipment and machinery.

It’s vitally important to the health not only of the people who use these locations, but also to the well-being of the environment itself that the site is taken into consideration and consistently cared for. When it comes to landscaping, whether for residential or commercial properties, our services include excavation for a number of remodelling needs such as asphalt, car parks – especially large, commercial ones, concrete and gravel driveways and walkways, curbs and gutters, fire pits and outdoor fireplaces, footpaths, patios, pool surrounds, retaining walls and water features.

So much goes into the perfect landscape design and maintenance that it would be unwise to use inferior merchandise in their formation. As a result, we provide the highest quality landscaping products for all our projects. Among these are aggregates for drainage, erosion control products, decorative gravel and pebbles, oil and garden mixes and turf, sand and the all-important mulches – very necessary in a land where drought is an ever-present challenge.

We have completed a number of substantial projects in this area:

• The upgrade of a large carpark in Alexandria. This involved piering, steel beam setting, excavation, placement of tank, shoring and backfilling tanks and the removal of the shoring.
• A civil road works project for a hospital in Hornsby.
• Another client is a marina contracting company who have a wide range of marine construction capabilities.

Challenge is what we at Dig It thrive on and we have been known to operate in any weather or on any terrain conditions. Contact us today on 0400306219 with your civil construction or landscaping requirements and we will respond within 24 hours!
