Frequently Asked Questions

  • What areas do you service?

    Burnett Contracting provides a wide range of earthmoving services for Burketown and the surrounding areas, including Gregory, Doomadgee and Normanton. Contact us to confirm whether we service your specific location.

  • What is compaction and why is it necessary?

    Compaction is the process of compressing soil to remove air pockets and increase its density. This is a vital step in most earthmoving and construction projects because it strengthens the soil and reduces the risk of settling over time. Properly compacted ground provides a stable base for foundations, driveways, and roadworks, preventing cracks or structural failure. Different types of rollers or compactors are used depending on the soil type and project needs. Without proper compaction, water can infiltrate the soil more easily, leading to erosion, subsidence, or drainage issues. Compaction ensures long-term durability and structural integrity for any type of build.

  • How do I choose a reliable earthmoving contractor?

    To find a trustworthy earthmoving contractor, look for experience, proper licensing, and a solid reputation in the industry. Ask about their previous projects and whether they specialise in the type of work you need — such as residential, commercial, or rural. Check for up-to-date insurance, machinery maintenance practices, and safety certifications. Reading reviews or getting referrals can help you gauge reliability. Clear communication and detailed quotes are also important. A good contractor will take time to understand your project needs, offer suggestions, and meet all local compliance requirements. Choosing a reputable business ensures the job gets done safely, on time, and to specification.

  • What factors affect the success of an earthmoving project?

    Several key factors influence the success of an earthmoving project. These include accurate site assessment, proper planning, skilled operators, and the right equipment for the job. Soil type, drainage conditions, and weather also play a significant role. Unforeseen issues such as underground obstacles, poor access, or council restrictions can delay or complicate the work. A clear scope of work, communication between the contractor and client, and timely decision-making all contribute to project efficiency. Safety protocols, environmental compliance, and quality control must be followed throughout. When these elements are well-managed, an earthmoving project can be completed on time, on budget, and without complications.
