Civil in Alice Springs, questions people ask
Who does civil in Alice Springs?
No local civil business is listed on the Hub yet. Until one is, the points on this page say what a good local operator looks like and what to ask before you book. If you run a civil business in Alice Springs, you can list it free.
What is different about earthworks and drainage in Central Australia?
The ground is red dust and sand, not clay or rock, and the dry Todd River bed can run hard and fast after rare heavy rain. Drainage should be designed for those flash-flood events, not average rainfall.
Why can civil work out of town cost more?
Plant and equipment often travel long distances between jobs. Ask for haul distance to be priced up front, so it does not arrive later as a variation.
