What your site needs

Three Things That Hold a Civil Job Up, and What We Put on Site for Each

Every one of these becomes lost time or an incident report when it is not sorted early. Tell us which of them applies and we will price the lot together.

Braced temporary fencing running the length of an exposed construction site

Secure the perimeter and control who gets on site

A 33mm tube frame with anti-climb mesh, supplied with the bracing package so a run cannot be climbed, shoved aside or pulled apart at the joins. The public stays out, entry stays limited to the points you choose, and you can show exactly how site access was controlled.

  • Temporary fencing
  • Bracing package
Ground protection mats laid across soft ground to carry vehicle loads

Keep heavy plant moving across soft ground

Heavy duty urethane mats rated to 11 metric tons per wheel on soft ground. Excavators, cranes and delivery trucks cross without bogging, rutting or tearing up a surface you have to make good later, so access to the working face stays predictable.

  • Ground protection mats
Water filled barriers placed around a Melbourne work zone

Hard separation between the work zone and the public

TL2 rated Armor Zone water filled barriers, supplied with transport and an articulated loader to place them on site. VMS boards give plenty of advance warning to anyone approaching. We deliver and place the equipment where you need it.

  • Water filled barriers
  • VMS boards

On the same account, same delivery

Why civil contractors use us

Set Up for Big Sites and Long Programs

Safety you can point to

Anti-climb mesh, braced fence runs, matting rated to 11 tonnes per wheel and TL2 rated water filled barriers. When somebody asks how the site is controlled, the answer sits in the spec.

Less exposure carried by you

We personally manage every install and removal rather than dropping gear at the gate, and every item comes out of the yard in premium condition. A fence going over or a vehicle leaving the carriageway is a risk engineered out, not one you inherit.

Bulk and long term rates

Long programs and high volumes get priced as long programs and high volumes. If transport is the sticking point, collect and return from our yard and take that cost out altogether.

Scale up fast when the program moves

Bring a stage forward and we get more fencing, matting or barriers out to you, without a second supplier. We work when you need us, not only inside business hours.

How we work

From Scope to Installed, Without the Back and Forth

You deal with the people who own the business. The same contact takes the scope, prices it and follows it through to the final collection.

01

Send us the scope

Site address, program dates, fence lengths, load requirements and where the site boundaries and access points are. A site plan or a rough mark up is plenty to work from.

02

We price the whole program

One quote covering supply, delivery, installation and collection, at bulk and long term rates that reflect the duration and the volume rather than a weekly list price.

03

We install and keep up with the job

Our crew installs to spec and comes back as the site changes. If the program moves, we scale the gear up or down to match it.

Where we deliver

From the Peninsula to the CBD, and East to Scoresby

We run our own trucks across Melbourne’s south east, so we know the sites, the councils and the access constraints. Projects inside this stretch can be serviced quickly, including changes part way through a program.

  • Mornington Peninsula
  • Frankston
  • Melbourne CBD
  • Bayside
  • Dandenong
  • Scoresby
  • Knox
  • Casey and Cardinia
  • Kingston and Glen Eira

Working on a project just outside that stretch? Call us anyway. We travel across Victoria for the right job.

Common questions

What Site and Project Managers Ask Us First

Do you offer bulk and long term hire rates?
Yes. A twelve month program at volume is not priced the same way as a one week hire. Tell us the duration and the quantities up front and the rate will reflect both.
Will temporary fencing stay standing on an exposed site?
It will with the bracing package, which is what we recommend for anything exposed or running for months. Unbraced runs are the ones that end up flat across a footpath after a windy night.
Are the ground protection mats rated for heavy plant?
Our mats are load rated. Tell us the heaviest machine or vehicle crossing them and what the ground underneath is doing, and we will specify the right mat for that load rather than guessing.
Can you scale up if the program changes?
That is a large part of what we do. If a stage is brought forward or the site expands, we get more fencing, matting or barriers out to you without you having to start again with another supplier.
Do you supply water filled barriers and VMS boards?
Yes. TL2 rated Armor Zone water filled barriers for hard separation, and VMS boards for advance warning. We deliver and place them on site, including the transport and the articulated loader to set them down.
Do you only operate during business hours?
No. We work when you need us, not just during business hours. If a delivery, a change on site or a collection has to happen outside a normal working day, tell us when you book and we will make it work.
Can we collect the gear ourselves to save on transport?
Yes. Our team is flexible on delivery, so if cost saving is the priority you can pick up and return the equipment from our yard and take the transport cost out of the job entirely.
Can you work to our inductions and compliance requirements?
Regularly. A lot of our work is civil, council and construction sites, so our crews are used to site inductions, permits, delivery windows and working around a live program.
