About Tarnwick
Earthworks and civil works from first cut to handover
Tarnwick Civil & Earthworks builds the ground that developments stand on. We deliver bulk earthworks, roads, stormwater drainage and subdivision works for developers, councils and head contractors across South East Queensland, with our own fleet, our own survey team and supervisors who stay with a project from first cut to handover, so programs are kept and quality is checked at every stage.
- Our own fleet and survey team. We own the excavators, dozers, graders and trucks we run, and our surveyors set out and check every lot, road and pipe line.
- One supervisor from start to handover. Each project keeps one supervisor from the first cut to handover, so the client has one person who knows the site and its program.
Leadership: Tarnwick is led by its founding director, a civil engineer, with a construction manager and a survey manager who run the projects day to day.
The ground is right before anything is built on it.
Why developers and councils choose Tarnwick
Earthworks set the program for everything that follows. Developers and councils choose Tarnwick because we own our fleet, survey our own work, keep one supervisor on each project and plan for the weather, so the site is ready when the next trades arrive.
- Our own fleet, ready to mobilise. We own the machines we run and maintain them in our own workshop, so we mobilise when the project needs us rather than when hire equipment is free.
- Survey checks at every stage. Our surveyors set out each stage and check levels before the next one starts, so errors are found early and the work passes inspection the first time.
- One supervisor for the whole job. The same supervisor runs the site from the first cut to handover and reports to the client each week on progress, weather and any changes.
- Programs planned around the weather. We plan the wet season into the program, stage the works to keep water off finished areas, and set up erosion controls before the first storm.
Own fleet, own survey, one supervisor: the site is ready when you need it.
Safety, quality and environment
- Safety. Our safety management system is certified to ISO 45001. Every site has a site-specific safety plan, daily prestarts, traffic management between plant and people, and permits for excavation near services.
- Quality. Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001. Each stage has an inspection and test plan, survey conformance checks and compaction testing, and the client receives a complete handover pack.
- Environment. Our environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001. Erosion and sediment controls go in before the first cut and are inspected after every storm.
