Overview

Supporting Regional Growth with Earthmoving, Construction, and Reliable Plant Hire.

At Oldknow Earthmoving & Haulage, we’ve been delivering civil construction services across Singleton, the Hunter Valley and regional NSW for over 40 years. From small rural works to significant residential developments, we support projects with skilled operators, modern machinery and a straightforward approach that gets results.

Whether you’re building a subdivision, installing a rural dam or need plant and crew to support your job, we offer real-world experience and a team that turns up ready to work.

Subdivisions

We support landowners, developers and civil contractors with the full range of subdivision works. From bulk earthworks and road preparation to drainage and building pads, we deliver reliable groundwork that meets council specifications and keeps projects moving.

  • Site clearing and cut/fill
  • Road and driveway construction
  • Stormwater drainage and service trenches
  • Lot shaping and pad construction
  • Erosion and sediment control
  • Final trim and lot handover preparation

Whether it’s a small rural subdivision or a multi-stage residential development, we bring experience and care to every stage of the job.

Dam Building

We build new dams and restore existing ones for rural properties, farms and industrial sites. Our team handles the whole process—from excavation and embankment shaping to pipework, spillways, and clay lining.

  • New dam construction
  • Deepening and enlarging existing dams
  • Embankment construction and compaction
  • Spillway and overflow design
  • Inlet/outlet installation
  • Desilting and cleaning out

We tailor each build to suit the land’s layout, rainfall, and water storage needs, and we work with engineers or consultants where needed to ensure compliance.

Plant Hire

Need the gear and the people to get the job done? Our plant hire service provides modern equipment with experienced operators for short or long-term work.

  • Excavators (5T to 45T)
  • Dozers, graders, scrapers, loaders
  • Dump trucks, tippers, water carts, compactors
  • Wet hire with fully licensed operators
  • Mine and civil compliant fleet

Every machine is maintained in-house and backed by the local support you need to avoid downtime and keep your project on track.
