Civil earthworks contractor · Ripley

Experienced. Practical. Delivery-focused.

HLM Earthworks is a civil earthworks contractor delivering bulk earthworks, civil construction, drainage, services, roadworks, plant hire and haulage. We do everything with the fleet, and we do all the compliance as well. Hands-on management, experienced operators and capable plant, from site establishment through to final trim.

Ipswich based, with the yard at Boyland Way, Ripley. We work from far north Queensland, across far west Queensland, and down to northern NSW.

“We match plant, operators and production methodology to the work package — not the other way around.”
