Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you service?

Burnett Contracting provides a wide range of earthmoving services for Julia Creek and the surrounding areas, including Cloncurry, McKinlay and Kynuna. Contact us to confirm whether we service your specific location.
What’s the difference between wet hire and dry hire?

Wet hire refers to hiring equipment along with a professional operator, while dry hire is equipment only, with no operator included. Wet hire is ideal for clients who don’t have the licences, skills, or time to operate machinery themselves. It provides peace of mind knowing a trained expert is handling the job safely and efficiently. Dry hire can be more cost-effective if you or your team are experienced in operating the equipment. However, incorrect use can cause delays, safety hazards, or even equipment damage. Choosing between wet and dry hire depends on your project requirements, budget, and access to skilled labour.
Can earthmoving be done in wet weather?

Earthmoving in wet weather is possible but often not ideal. Rain can soften soil, making it harder to operate machinery safely and increasing the risk of getting bogged or causing unintended damage. Waterlogged sites can also lead to erosion, uneven compaction, and drainage issues. If heavy rain is forecast, it’s often best to delay work until conditions improve. However, experienced operators can sometimes continue work with the right equipment and site preparation, such as using track machines or working in less affected areas. For large projects, wet weather planning is essential to minimise disruptions and avoid unnecessary costs or damage.
What’s involved in preparing a site for earthmoving?

Site preparation begins with a site assessment to evaluate access, terrain, soil type, and any potential obstacles like trees or underground utilities. A plan is then developed outlining the scope of work, required equipment, and safety considerations. Clearing vegetation, debris, or old structures is usually the first step. Depending on the job, temporary fencing, signage, and erosion controls may be installed. The next phase includes setting out levels, marking boundaries, and checking for hazards. Once prepared, machinery is brought in to carry out the necessary earthmoving tasks. Proper preparation improves efficiency, reduces risks, and ensures the project meets quality standards.
