R Con Civil moves bulk material to and from Canberra civil and construction sites with an in-house haulage fleet. Side tippers, truck and dogs and prime movers work to the same program as our earthworks and civil crews, so loads arrive or leave when the job needs them.
Bulk haulage in Canberra usually means large volumes of material moving on a tight site program. We cart to the destinations agreed for the job and match truck movements to the excavator or the receiving site.
Typical loads include:
Each material is carted in the truck type that suits the volume, the haul distance and the access at both ends.
Volumes, tip sites and running times change through a job. We adjust the number of trucks on the run as the excavation speeds up or slows down, which matters most on constrained Canberra sites with little room to stockpile.
Truck numbers change as the excavation speeds up or slows down, so the work area stays open for the next stage.
As a haulage company working out of Hall, on the edge of Canberra, we run our own fleet of a dozen vehicles and growing.
The fleet includes:
Keeping that mix in-house means fewer third parties in the logistics chain and one point of contact for the trucks.
Material delivery brings fill, aggregates and other bulk products onto site for earthworks and civil jobs. Each run is timed to the crew placing the material, so the truck arrives when the tip face is ready.
Backloading uses the return trip where the program allows it. A truck that has tipped spoil can bring useful material back on the next run, and we flag when a backload saves a trip and when a dedicated delivery suits the job better.
Where a job also needs quarry operations supply, the material and the haulage can be booked together and timed to the same program.
Excavated soil has to leave the site as the dig progresses, and clearance loads open up a site before construction starts. Each load is tipped at the disposal point agreed for the job.
Spoil haulage on the Canberra light rail is one example of this work on a major infrastructure job. Where taking spoil away is the main job, we plan it as spoil removal, with loads scheduled to the excavation program.
A haulage booking usually runs like this:
Questions about volumes or a change in the program go to the same contact who books the trucks.
Our trucks sit in the same business as our earthworks and civil crews. On a site where we are already digging or placing material, the haulage comes from the same company, which cuts the handovers between the dig and the tip face.
Our trucks carry fill, spoil and quarry product, so one booking can cover the material movements on a job in both directions.
The fleet runs from Hall across Canberra and the ACT, and on suitable haulage jobs in regional NSW. Regular NSW work areas include:
