Excavation and earthworks

Excavation is where every project we deliver starts on the ground. In more than 40 years in construction, Nicholls Construction Group has taken sites from planning and approvals through early works, excavation, filling and civil infrastructure to handover, as turnkey civil projects.

Our project photos record bulk earthworks at Kurnell, bank drilling, ground bin excavation and site filling at Artarmon, shored tunnel excavation at Kirrawee, and shored excavation and trench work on past jobs.

With multiple project managers and enough equipment to run several jobs at once, we can take on excavation packages alongside our major projects.
