Our Capabilities
​
​
With our fleet of Case Quadtrac tracked scraper units, we have the capability of
undertaking large volume earthworks projects. PHD developed the methodology of using the Case Quadtrac/K-tec double scoop configurations and gained extensive experience at the Brisbane Airport Corporation New Parallel Runway
(BAC NPR) Project.
​
PHD were engaged by Jan De Nul during Phase 1 when their traditional excavator/moxy methodology was proving inefficient in the sand and from a safety perspective when their machines were continually bogging.
​
We have been engaged at the BAC NPR Project since then by other Principal
Contractors to conduct bulk sand earthworks as their preferred methodology.
