On Sunday we hit a major milestone with East Gippsland Water: nearly 500m of 450 mm OD water main was successfully pulled via HDD from Kalimna, under North Arm, and up into Apex Park, Lakes Entrance. The clip below shows the pipe emerging at Apex Park, an awesome moment for the team and community. The still image beneath the video captures the machine operator who pulled the pipe to the surface giving a thumbs-up on a successful outcome.
This trenchless crossing is part of EGW’s North Arm upgrade to improve supply reliability and support future growth, with works slated to wrap mid-December 2025.
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞.
Huge thanks to our Cape Dunstans crew, EGW, and the Lakes Entrance community for the support.💧

What a great turnout today at our "Bring a Plate" lunch at South Guildford. Everyone came together to showcase their best dish or a meal from their culture, creating an incredible spread of diverse and delicious cuisines.

This was our way of celebrating Chinese New Year, and it was great to see so many people embracing the spirit of the occasion.

Here’s to a year of prosperity, happiness, and, of course, more yummy food! 🥢🐉✨

This morning, the Cape Dunstans team took a moment to pause and check in with each other, recognising that R U OK? Day is not just about one day – it's about every day. Mental health matters, and sometimes a simple "Are you OK?" can make all the difference.

Let’s continue to create a culture where we genuinely look out for one another 💛

At Cape Dunstans, we take pride in delivering top-notch results for our clients, and our ploughs are the backbone of our operations. Specifically designed and purpose-built for optical fibre and power cable installation, these dual ploughs are a rare breed, and we're pleased to have them blazing trails in some of the most rugged terrains.
With only a handful of these cutting-edge machines in Australia, we consider ourselves fortunate to have not one, but two. From the rocky stretches of the Pilbara to the rugged expanses of the Murchison, our ploughs are currently hard at work, ploughing dual fibre and power cables with unmatched precision.
The design ensures a balance of power and agility, enabling users to tackle any ground condition with ease. Each track pivots independently, maintaining continuous surface contact for maximum traction, even in the toughest terrains.
The feedback from our clients speaks volumes—these ploughs are not just machines; they're game-changers, improving the way projects are executed and delivering time savings along the way.
To find out more about how our ploughs can help your project, email the team at 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨@𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐬.𝐜𝐨𝐦.𝐚𝐮

Our recent venture into the mid-west region of WA for a pipeline project showcased the performance of our Vermeer T1055 Trencher. Facing challenging terrain, our team rose to the occasion and delivered great results.

The T1055 Trencher, part of our extensive fleet, proved its grit by navigating through farmland, and reducing project timelines while upholding safety and quality standards.

Key highlights of the T1055 include its ability to swiftly and precisely dig trenches in a single pass, unlike conventional excavators that require multiple attempts. This not only accelerates project timelines but also minimises environmental impact, proof of our commitment to sustainable practices.

At Cape Dunstans, we understand the importance of overcoming challenges, especially when it comes to ground conditions. If you're planning a project with demanding terrain, feel free to contact us at 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲@𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘀.𝗰𝗼𝗺.𝗮𝘂, we're here to lend our expertise and support.
