🌟 Throwback to an incredible project at Thompsons Creek Dam! Dukes Earthmoving completed vital upgrades, including upgrading the Haul Road for heavy vehicle access and constructing erosion protection along the Eastern Foreshore. Over 3,000 tons of Gabion and oversize rock were utilised to stabilise the bank, ensuring a safe and secure environment. 🏗️💪 Check out these impressive before and after photos! The transformation truly speaks for itself! 📸✨

Throw back.
Fire burnt through a large part of Jenolan during the Black Summer bushfires of 2019-2020, followed by two massive floods in 2020 and 2021. Hillsides, bare after the fire, eroded or even collapsed with the rain, filling the Blue Lake with debris and destroying platypus habitat.

The Blue Lake had to be excavated twice in order to restore it to its previous state. Work included delicate excavation of banks with known platypus burrows or shelters, and construction of a ‘waterbug nursery’; rocks of various sizes were laid at the shallow end of the lake to encourage a diversity of species and provide a sheltered area for recolonisation.
Dukes Earthmoving was very proud to be a part of the team.
