The Company has made a commitment to grow our fleet of well-maintained equipment to ensure we can handle any scale and scope of project.
Our 18 metre long "BB2" Piling Barge is equipped with two diggers: a 23-ton & 6-ton Kobelco. These machines can operate independently or in tandem. To ensure stability during piling operations, the BB2 is fitted with two spuds that secure her in position.
The Refurb Crew have expertise in both routine maintenance and major overhauls. They provide a wide array of services aimed at ensuring your marina & jetty remains in great condition.
The ‘UB40’ and ‘DB3’ digger barges are floating platforms equipped with long-reach excavator units. These barges feature hydraulic-operated spud legs, that enhance stability and operational efficiency in various marine environments.
Our Crews are skilled and equipped to repair or construct new structures that provide access to water. Repairing jetty and wharf structures are essential tasks for the upkeep of current infrastructure. This process frequently includes replacing decayed piles and refurbishing various parts of the decking and ramps.
