Our Fleet and Operators
We operate a versatile and mine-compliant fleet, including:
- Excavators, dozers, and graders

- GPS and laser-equipped machines for precision shaping
All operators are experienced, ticketed, and trained in working around active mine faces, public infrastructure, and environmental controls.
Safety, Compliance & Reliability
We know pit work comes with tight deadlines and serious risk if not managed well. That’s why we work to clearly defined procedures, communicate clearly with site teams, and always maintain a clean safety record. Our site-ready documentation, risk assessments, and project supervision mean less hassle for your team and better outcomes for your site.
