CPB Contractors says remote controlled machines make excavating the cross passage tunnels safer
CPB Contractors, with its joint venture partner Ghella, is using remote-controlled excavators to construct cross passages between the rail tunnels for the Western Sydney Airport, Station Boxes and Tunnelling (SBT) project for the New South Wales government’s Sydney Metro.
This innovative approach prioritises worker safety and enables efficient tunnel construction in the limited space within the tunnels, the company says.
Critical to on-time completion, the project team is using small, remotecontrolled machines to excavate 39 cross passages along the 9.8km of tunnels.
“Beyond the benefits of allowing workers to operate the machines from a safe distance, these compact excavators excel in the restricted underground environment,” says CPB Contractors project director Will Freelander.
“Their size allows for efficient and accurate excavation, shaping and trimming of the mini tunnels.”
Works include the design and construction of 9.8 kilometres of twin tunnels and excavations for stations at St Marys, Orchard Hills, Airport Business Park, Airport Terminal and Aerotropolis and services facilities at Claremont Meadows and Bringelly.
The first section – referred to as portion S9 – has been completed, with the 1.2-kilometre-long twin tunnels running between the Airport Business Park and Airport Terminal sites. =
The fluid lab upgrade gives WesTrac laboratory technicians the ability to perform advanced tests
A cutting edge Scheduled Oil Sampling (SOS) laboratory established by WesTrac at its Tomago headquarters in New South Wales has gone live.
WesTrac says the lab gives customers access to industryleading testing and analysis services, powered by advanced automation technology.
Recently introducing three first-oftheir-kind automated instruments known as AutoLabs, WesTrac has integrated and automated six separate fluid analysis tests under the one roof, doubling testing capacity to 1,200 fluid samples per day.
The company says it has also increased efficiency, accuracy and turnaround time.
WesTrac has also introduced automated interpretation software known as ‘AutoA’ at the facility, which releases ‘no action required’ samples without the requirement of manual intervention from a technician.
This allows for WesTrac’s interpreters to focus solely on customer samples requiring action, offering their expert recommendations, the company says.
Each of the AutoLab instruments integrate tools, such as a viscometer, for visual inspection, particle quantification, infrared spectrometry, particle counting and dilution.
The instruments allow WesTrac laboratory technicians to perform advanced tests, including the newly offered Fast Patch2Go, Ferrograph and Filtergram Analysis tests.
The new AutoLab instruments provide customers with advanced
testing that increases result accuracy and improves the turnaround time for fluid sample analysis results, according to WesTrac’s general manager resource industries NSW/ ACT Jody Scott.
“Our enhanced service comes inclusive of an expert recommendation to customers on how to address any fluid-related issues with their machinery and equipment, pushing WesTrac ahead of the competition in the fluid analysis sector,” Scott says.
“Having this level of sophistication and speed in fluid analysis provides enormous benefits, particularly for large scale mining customers that have high volume requirements of this service to ensure equipment is running optimally and reducing downtime.”
Speaking to Earthmovers & Excavators, WesTrac’s asset health manager Scott Wilson says: “Our oil sampling product is intended to help customers – it takes the oil sample that can give information about
AutoLab has doubled capacity to 1,200 samples per day
what’s going on inside the engine.
“This is stuff you can’t see, and generally can’t be seen directly with the human eye.
“You can see some particles when you’re looking at the oil sample, but it goes really in-depth.”
Wilson explains the oil sampling shows counts, wear, contamination and more. The sample can be compared to a baseline of what is standard, to determine if it is degrading or if it is performing as it’s expected to.
“It’s indicating if the oil isn’t performing,” he says.
“Then it’s looking at wear rates.
“As a Cat dealership, we know what the expected wear rates are over 50 years of oil sampling - we have all that back data,” Wilson adds.
“We can use that information to give clear trending expectations, and where that oil sample should be sitting, and we can give a recommendation back to the customer in a clear informational report.”
SOS is one of five sources of information WesTrac uses to monitor the condition of machines. Others include equipment inspections and determining the machine’s use in the field, as well as examining repair and performance history. SOS ties in with these other monitoring systems.
“We can then use that to share better recommendations with our customers through condition monitoring,” Wilson says.

South Australia’s Wattle Range Council’s success with the Hidromek HMK102S Backhoe Loader could set both up for a repeat performance
The Wattle Range Council covers a vast area from the SA Coast to the Victorian Border, including charming seaside towns like Beachport and Southend.
It reaches inland to Millicent, which serves as the primary hub, and extends eastward to the historic town of Penola and the globally acclaimed wine region of Coonawarra.
With an estimated population of 12,026 and 2,440kmof both sealed and unsealed roads, the council is responsible for maintaining a vast area.
Routine maintenance programs are in place for all roads, including roadsides, playgrounds, and general landscaping.
The council’s equipment fleet consists of one excavator, five frontend loaders and one backhoe.
The backhoe is primarily used with a grab for tree removal, but it can serve as a multi-purpose digger and is also utilised to load trucks in the quarry with mulch and rocks.
When the council needed a new backhoe loader, Onetrak and Hidromek provided the answer in the form of a HMK102S Backhoe Loader
The council’s mechanical team leader Tim Whennan explains the council’s old backhoe loader required replacing - so they put it out to tender.
As the council was unfamiliar with the Hidromek brand, it was a little hesitant to purchase initially.
However, upon completing its due diligence, the council followed up on the Hidromek and an opportunity to trial the Hidromek HMK102S was arranged.
“The initial attractive feature of the machine was its price, but the team soon found out that there were no major differences in the quality or power of the machine compared to more expensive brands,” Whennan says.
“It had all the features of the more expensive machines and looked well built with thicker steel.”
Since acquiring the machine from Onetrak, Whennan says the operators are pleased with the HMK102S Backhoe Loader.
“It has plenty of power in the hydraulics and pushes pretty hard,” he notes.
“The cab design is comfortable and quiet with the controls well positioned.
“Hidromek makes great machines,” Whennan adds, noting that it had come close to buying a Hidromek HMK110 CS Compaction Roller in another recent tender process.
“Onetrak has been easy to deal with and Callan, Onetrak’s territory manager, has been very responsive and accessible.
“The technicians that came to site
were also good and completed what was needed.”
Whennan says that with the recent performance of the HMK 102S backhoe loader, Wattle Range Council is open to considering Hidromek equipment and collaborating with Onetrak for future tenders.
Onetrak is the official dealer for Hidromek equipment in Australia. Visit www.onetrak.com.au or call 1300 727 520 to get in touch with the Onetrak team.
Shell lubricant macro distributor, Viva Energy Australia, says its new biodegradable lubricant offers greater sustainability without compromising performance
Lubricants play a vital role in keeping machinery operating efficiently. As the world’s need for mobility, construction and industrial production grows, the demand for lubricants will also increase. However, there is a shared responsibility to meet this rising demand while reducing the environmental impact of lubricants.
Construction businesses can expect to see more high quality environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) being introduced to the market, like the Shell PANOLIN range of biodegradable lubricants.
The biolubricant market has been projected to grow at an annual rate of 3.5 per cent from 2021 through 2025 - well above the average growth expected for finished lubricants.
Biodegradable lubricants are not new to the construction industry. There has long been a need for EALs for certain jobsite environments, such as projects near water sources and environmentally sensitive areas. However, they have historically been considered low quality.
“Years ago, EALs were made with just vegetable oils, and they had lower oxidation resistance, and were really just a necessity for select jobs” says Silvana Farrugia, product support engineer, Viva Energy Australia.
However, advancements in performance of biodegradable lubricants have been accelerating in recent years, largely due to industry demand.
“This is largely being done through the reformulation of more balanced lubricants with higher tier Synthetic Ester base stocks and the development of better additives,” adds Farrugia.
“The Shell PANOLIN portfolio is technically well-balanced with high biodegradability and is designed for long life, with high performance and protection contributing to equipment longevity.”
The Shell PANOLIN biodegradable lubricants offer this sustainability without sacrificing performance.
The portfolio includes a broad choice of readily biodegradable and low-ecotoxicity lubricants for hydraulics, gears, biodegradable engine oils (HDEO) and greases for machine lubrication, including leading OEM-approved products.
“Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth 32, 46, 68 for example was the first Bosch Rexroth-approved biodegradable hydraulic oil, designed for uninterrupted equipment operation,” says Farrugia.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring the Shell PANOLIN range of products
Shell PANOLIN biodegradable lubricants is now available in a range of pack sizes.

to the Australian market, and we have already seen strong interest amongst our partners and customers as they look to take tangible steps towards sustainability and biodegradable lubricants” says lubricant sales and marketing manager, Renee Reilly from Viva Energy Australia.
So why is biodegradability and lowecotoxicity important?
Biodegradability is a measure of the breakdown of a chemical or a chemical mixture by microorganisms, and this property gives an indication about the potential of a chemical to break down into simpler, more harmless substances. This is particularly important when events such as accidental spills or leaks of fluid or waste disposal occur.
Ecotoxicity is a measure of the toxicity of a chemical substance to an organism in a given environment. To be classified as non-toxic, a finished fluid and, in some cases, its major components must undergo acute toxicity studies at different levels in the food chain. Shell PANOLIN lubricants are all defined as having low-ecotoxicity.
“Biodegradability and lowecotoxicity of a chemical or lubricant need to be considered in order to estimate the risks of detrimental effects on the environment, which could impact the people or businesses that use the ecosystems,” Reilly explains.
This is also important in ensuring businesses comply with environmental legislation.
Shell PANOLIN has developed a wide range of high-performance biodegradable lubricants, to ensure that, whilst you can reduce the environmental impact of critical operations, it does not mean that you need to compromise on productivity or protection.

The DCF Group has been a leading supplier in the market since 1955, producing Undercarriage Parts for Excavators and Bulldozers. DCF has a worldwide reputation for strong reliable products at a competitive price. Such as crankshafts, track group assembly, segments, sprocket and many more.
Along with multiple expansions of its Omagh manufacturing facility, Astec continues to grow its product portfolio with the release of two new machines at Hillhead 2024
Global demand for tracked crushing and screening equipment has significantly increased in recent years, and one business that is thriving in this product sector is Astec Australia.
Astec, founded in the US in 1972, designs and manufactures a wide range of products including crushing and screening equipment, bulk materials handling systems, asphalt road building equipment, asphalt and concrete production plants.
Servicing the Asia-Pacific region since 2008, Australia accounts for a significant portion of Astec’s tracked equipment sales and the company has gone to work to expand its manufacturing capability to keep pace with this increasing demand.
At its facility in Omagh, Northern Ireland, Astec manufactures mobile crushers and screens for international markets, including Australia, and the factory has seen several expansions in recent years.
“We’ve initially transferred our US tracked plant designs to Omagh,” Astec materials solutions business line manager Adam Gordon says.
“Doing this has not only freed up manufacturing space in our other facilities around the world, it has also provided other benefits
such as reduced shipping costs and increased flexibility.”
If Astec needs to supply additional tracked units, it can simply dial up production at one of its US-based factories.
In the past three years, the Omagh facility has seen several expansions which has enabled Astec to increase its throughput and manufacturing volume.
“12 months after we opened the facility, we doubled its size,” Gordon says.
“In the year after that we doubled it again, and then further expansions were made in the following year.”
According to Gordon, Astec is committed to continuously improving all its equipment, including the mobile crushers and screens.
“Innovation has always been a cornerstone of our business, and through our own innovation and responding to feedback from our customers, we’ve been able to develop a range of tracked plant that is robust, reliable and designed specifically for Australian conditions,” Gordon says.
“We’ve got newly designed products being manufactured at our Omagh facility, that we’re now rolling out for the world market,” he says.
Some of these new products were on show at Hillhead 2024 in late June.
Dubbed the largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition in the United Kingdom, this year’s event attracted more than 26,000 visitors.
The large crowds on deck for each of the three-days of the exhibition got an exclusive look at Astec’s brandnew SF20 rinser mobile incline screen.
Gordon says the screen attracted high interest, and several units were sold during the show.
The SF20 features a 20ft by 5ft (6.1m by 1.52m) screen box and is designed for medium to large scale operations where large volumes of high specification products are required.
It also features a class-leading power unit delivering 100kW (134hp) of power and has the largest screen box bearing size in its class.
The SF20 is most effective in applications including crushed stone, sand and gravel, topsoil, recycling, quarrying and mining.
“We released the SF20 at the show and units were sold on the first day,” Gordon says.
“Two of those sold units will be coming to Australia later this year.
“These units are coming with the
Bred Toyota tough, Huski skid steer loaders are the perfect mix of performance, reliability and durability. Developed and tested in Australia, Huski features best in show strength, manoeuvrability and driver comfort, and can handle operating loads from 320kg to a whopping 900kg.
Best of all Huski skid steer loaders are backed by Toyota’s trusted reputation for delivering quality equipment and loyal after sales support. So if you’re looking to put your business at the head of the pack, you can’t go past a Huski. Australia’s Top Dog in the Dirt.
optional rinser kit where, in a matter of hours, they can convert into a wet or dry screen depending upon the specific project requirements.”
Another Astec product manufactured in Omagh and released at Hillhead was the Kolberg 9225S modular sand processing plant.
Designed for dewatering and finetuning sand products, the 9225S is an ideal match for the SF20.
Gordon says that together, these two become a powerful mobile sand plant.
In addition to these newly released products, Astec also showcased one of its most popular mobile jaw crushers at Hillhead.
The powerful FT2650 features a jaw opening of 26” (660mm) by 50” (1,270mm), which makes it capable of handling much larger rocks than other competing jaw crushers.
Another significant advantage of the FT2650 is its optional hydraulic Tramp Iron Relief (TIR) System, a key feature that reduces maintenance costs and increases plant availability, while also providing significantly higher safety for operators.
When handling difficult material or uncrushable objects, the Astec Tramp Iron Relief System protects the FT2650 from operational damage, a problem that could impact wedge adjust jaw crushers.
“In a traditional crusher, a piece of steel that’s stronger than the crusher would cause enormous stress to the
machine,” Gordon says.
It could bend a shaft or, next time it happens it’ll break or, worst case, crack the jaw frame.”
But the FT2650’s hydraulic relief feature allows pressure spikes to be relieved quickly in the crusher, so the operator can hit reset and then restart production.
“When an uncrushable comes through the FT2650, it is not a major problem because of the fitted TIR system, and if the plant shuts down for any reason, with material in the jaw, the operator can hit relieve and cycle the jaw hydraulically, safely crushing that material out of the chamber without any significant stress on the frame,” Gordon says.
“Additionally, it means someone doesn’t have to manually open the jaw crusher, they just operate the push buttons.
“They stay safely outside the jaw crusher chamber and the rock is broken up hydraulically without
exposing the operator to danger.”
Astec has a range of other new equipment in the pipeline and plans to release more products in the first quarter of 2025.
“We’re always looking to innovate,” Gordon says.
“We’re continually improving our machines, making them more efficient, more productive and more economical. That’s our commitment to our customers, and that’s how we help them succeed.”

Onetrak highlights the effectiveness and range of Anaconda’s C12R Cone Crusher
Anaconda Equipment’s C12 Recirc Cone Crusher is an “extremely flexible” crusher ideal for secondary and tertiary mobile crushing applications, Australian distributor Onetrak says.
The new unit was unveiled at the recent Hillhead 2024 showcase event in the United Kingdom (UK), attended by Onetrak’s national sales manager for material handling, Sam Powell, and the company’s product support manager for crushing and screening, Jason MacDonald.
Most typically used as secondary and tertiary crushers, cone crushers can handle a variety of materials, from tough and abrasive rocks to softer materials such as limestone and dolomite.
MacDonald says the secret to maximising production with a cone crusher is ensuring the cone chamber is continuously kept choked, reduction ratios are kept as low as possible to ensure good shape and bottlenecks in the screening process are reduced — which is what the C12R is designed to do.
The C12R Cone Crusher is an aggressive and powerful mobile cone crusher, boasting the proven ability of the FLSmidth Raptor 250 cone chamber within an innovative Anaconda tracked solution.
The unit’s industry leading 89mm throw within the crushing chamber enables faster and more effective crushing to be carried out.
A higher eccentric throw reduces crushing zones, leading to a quicker passage through the crusher. The faster the material passes through, the higher the capacity of the crusher.
To optimise this, the advanced control system offers users intuitive operation and precise adjustments, making it easy to optimise performance for different materials and output requirements.
The C12R utilises a fuel efficient and powerful hydraulic system, which allows the machine to provide excellent levels of productivity and to create a fine, well-shaped product.
The feeder is fitted with an ultrasonic level sensor which dictates the speed of the feeder to continuously keep the chamber choke fed, achieving optimum crushing productivity.
A cone crusher benefits from choke feeding as it ensures that the crushing chamber is consistently full, leading to more efficient and effective crushing.
This practice helps to maintain a uniform particle size distribution, which can improve the quality of the final product.
Additionally, choke feeding
minimises wear on the crusher components by reducing the amount of stress and strain they endure, ultimately extending the lifespan of the machine.
Properly managing the feed can also enhance the crusher’s throughput, ensuring that operations run smoothly and efficiently.
The C12R stands out from competitors with its unique dual 12x5 screen box. Unlike many competitors that feature a single, often smaller screen box, the 12x5 is true to size on both decks.
The screen box can often be the bottleneck in the cone crushing capabilities. However, Onetrak says that this unit’s dual screen box essentially doubles its screening capabilities.
With the dual screen box, the top deck can act as a relief deck, improving the screening of fines in the remaining material.
This innovative design ensures a more efficient separation process, reducing the load on the primary screen and extending its lifespan.
Additionally, the dual screen box allows for a higher throughput, increasing overall productivity and minimising downtime.
The physical size of the C12R is substantial and with a quick set up time it is very impressive how quickly and easily the Cone can transition
from transport, to operating, to optimising, to ultimately packing back up for transport, Onetrak says.
Moreover, the mobility of the C12R allows for seamless transitions between job sites, significantly reducing downtime and increasing overall productivity.
With safety and environmental considerations in mind, the C12R also incorporates dust suppression systems, ensuring that it not only performs exceptionally but also minimises its impact on employees and the surrounding environment.
The Anaconda C12R Cone Crusher offers a wide selection of liner options, including short and standard head configurations, with a range of CSS (Closed Side Settings) from 6mm to 45mm, catering to fine, medium and coarse feed sizes.
The standard head and short head configurations provide different crushing capabilities, with a minimum of six liner options available.
The C12R offers further versatility to suit the end user, with a quick release screen box which can be removed in around 15 minutes.
Should the specifications require a bigger screen for more production, this allows the cone crusher to work alone for higher or finer production with the use of a larger mobile screen like the Anaconda SR520.
The Anaconda C12R also features a radial recirculating conveyor designed for both closed and open circuit operations.
This allows the operator to either return the material to the crusher for further processing or to stockpile as a separate finished product.
Onetrak says the C12R offers unrivalled access from ground level for daily maintenance requirements, ensuring all necessary tasks can be performed quickly and efficiently.
This ease of access minimises downtime and boosts productivity by allowing maintenance teams to address issues promptly. Additionally, the design prioritises
safety, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries during routine checks and repairs.
Overall, the company says this thoughtful approach to accessibility not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to a safer and more sustainable working environment.
Key features of the Anaconda C12R include:
• T he ability to be direct fed with a primary crusher, conveyor, wheel loader or excavator to suit almost any plant configuration
• F itted with a Cat C9.3B Diesel Engine rated at 415hp (309kW)
• Unrivalled access from ground level for daily maintenance requirements
• A 6 .3 cubic metre feeder fitted with twin drive motors, hydraulic wing extensions, twin coil metal detector and feeder bridge, as well as Hardox wear liners
• U ltrasonic level sensor with feeder start / stop
• Radio remote control for tracks and feeder operation
• P roven FLSmidth Raptor 250 Cone – Direct Drive system, industry leading 89mm throw for increased production
• L arge variety of liner options including short and standard head configurations with range of CSS (closed side settings from 6mm-45mm)
• Available with or without dual 12x5 screen box
• 1 2x5 (2 deck) screen box allows for
increased tonnages
• T hree-way split with optional mids conveyor fitted
• Radial recirc conveyor for closed or open circuit operation
• Main conveyor discharge height 3.8m
• Work lights
• Dust suppression
“The C12R is a real step up for Anaconda,” says Onetrak’s national sales manager for material handling Sam Powell.
“They’ve taken their usual engineering philosophies of ‘make it easy to run, make it easy to maintain’ and added more than a pinch of design flair.
“The maintenance and engine access is ample and all at ground level, the Raptor 250 is a very hungry cone that will kick production goals and not only is the 2 deck 12x5 side tensioned screen box super productive, it is extremely versatile.
“With just an Anaconda J12 Jaw and C12R Cone Crusher we can make up to four products, simultaneously, in one pass – it’s a contractor’s dream.”
Anaconda Equipment’s range of crushers, screeners, scalpers, feeding conveyors, and mobile conveyors is distributed by Onetrak in Australia.
Onetrak’s national dealer network of service, sales and spare parts ensures all Anaconda customers are supported nationally.

FSA’s medical and emergency response service division is one of Australia’s most trusted providers across the oil and gas, mining, global wind farm and major construction industries.
It supplies medical and emergency staff, including paramedics, nurses, COVID-19 clinic and testing staff and emergency services officers for both long-term and short-term projects.
Speaking to Earthmovers & Excavators, FSA’s business development manager, Kipley Sullivan, highlighted fire risks on construction sites and outlined what site managers and workers can do to help increase fire safety and possibly save lives.
Fire safety on construction sites
continues to be a critical concern due to several factors which heighten the risk of fire incidents, Sullivan explains, including:
• Complexity of projects and their associated hazards
• Material storage and disposal
• Site security and trespassing
• H igh number of ignition sources (which are sometimes introduced to site on an ad-hoc basis, such as a contractor bringing a welder)
• Human factors
• L ack of training
“It is important to remember that the fire risk on construction sites is amplified as, unlike established buildings with fire safety systems like sprinklers and alarms, construction sites differ in their stages of construction and any site may not have these systems fully installed until a later stage,” says Sullivan.
“This highlights the importance of diligence when it comes to fire safety and fire safety training.”
Sullivan says there have been improvements to enhance safety measures in the industry, such as:
• Nationally recognised training delivering by registered training organisations, such as Fire and Safety Australia
• Stricter adherence to regulations and admission to sites
• Advancements in training equipment, such as Fire and Safety Australia’s virtual reality and live-fire training experiences
“However, challenges do remain,
and Safety Australia training grounds
particularly with the complexity and scale of current construction projects and the introduction of new technologies and materials which may pose unfamiliar risks,” she adds.
“Fire and Safety Australia partners with our clients to ensure that their learning and compliance outcomes are delivered throughout training.”
There are a number of important aspects site managers and site health and safety advisors should consider whilst assessing the safety of their sites, according to Sullivan.
“Ensure a comprehensive emergency management plan is developed for the construction site,” she says.
“This would extend beyond fire safety and would incorporate heights, confined spaces, medical... to name a few.
“Conduct regular risk assessments to address any identified hazards promptly and implement measures to mitigate risks,” she says..
“In conjunction, ensure that work permits are issued and authorised in accordance with policy.
“Familiarise yourself with the Australian standards, state regulations and building code requirements relating to the activities of fire safety and other activities on your site,” she adds, stating many of Fire and Safety Australia’s courses cover these elements.
Sullivan also advises managers of construction sites to provide training.
“All workers, subcontractors and site personnel should receive training on fire safety procedures, including the use of fire extinguishers, evacuation routes and emergency control organisations,” she explains.
“Implement fire prevention measures – take a proactive step to prevent fires, such as proper storage of flammable or combustible materials and safe practices during hot work activities.
“Maintain fire detection systems – ensure any systems are regularly tested, maintained and are functional.”
Sullivan also highlights the importance of providing access to firefighting equipment, implementing controls to manage potential ignition sources - such as monitoring of hot works through permits - and maintaining clear evacuation routes.
“Review emergency management plans regularly,” she adds.
“When you conduct your annual evacuation drill, [ask] is your team following what is written in this plan, are there any gaps which need to be addressed.”
Workers can contribute significantly to maintaining high safety standards by taking steps to report unsafe working conditions, Sullivan explains.
“If you identify any safety concerns, do not hesitate to voice your concern and take immediate action,” she advises.
“You may just save a life.
“Take immediate action, report to your supervisor, site manager or health and safety advisordepending on your company procedures - document the incident in writing if necessary and follow up to ensure corrective actions are taken.”
Sullivan also advises making use of your company’s safety reporting channels, and encouraging accountability.
Subcontractors bringing their own equipment to construction sites is a common occurrence and Sullivan
says it is one that sites should be prepared for.
“Each site should have measures in place to ensure compliance and safety measures are met.
“Some measures could include training and awareness – ensuring that all contractors and personnel using equipment are trained and following site fire safety protocols. Some potential evidence could include statements of attainment in fire extinguisher training, fire warden training or work permits training.
Sullivan also highlights the need for “contractor inductions” to familiarise and acknowledge the contractor’s adherence to site safety
protocols; appropriate storage and transportation of flammable or combustible materials in accordance with site requirements; and safe handling of ignition sources and ensuring standby safety precautionssuch as a blanket or extinguisher - are in place when using equipment that generates heat or sparks.
“Communication is key,” she adds. “Maintain open communication with
Shell PANOLIN offers a wide range of high-performance biodegradable* lubricants, delivering unrivalled protection** for your equipment and the environment you’re working in. Helping you meet your construction goals with less impact.
the site regarding the equipment you are bringing and inform the site manager or HS advisor of any specific concerns relating to the job or equipment.
“If necessary, revise your risk assessment and address any of those hazards.”
On the issue of reporting, Sullivan says: “If you notice any equipment related safety concerns, report them immediately.
“Ensure equipment is maintained and compliant before using the equipment onsite. Keep any maintenance logbooks accessible for site inspection requests.
“[Be] aware of ignition sources - such as grinders, metal cutting, welding etc - and the proximity to flammable materials.
“By adopting some of the above measures, contractors can also contribute to a safe working environment and reduce the risk of fire incidents. I do emphasise that collaboration with the team on site and adherence to safety protocols are crucial.”
While there are no specific statistics from national regulators
on fire incidents on construction sites, FSA says fire incidents remain a prevalent concern.
“Generally, the statistics for the industry highlight the overall risks and challenges in the sector,” Sullivan explains.
The Key Work Health and Safety Statistics Australia 2022 published by Safe Work Australia (QLD)
Fire and Safety Australia’s Elevated Work Platform training
reports a rate of 16.9 serious claims per thousand employees for the construction sector, with the average across industries being 10.5.
The reportable fatalities for the industry are at 2.1, compared to an overall average 1.3 across industries.
“Although these numbers are not specific to fire incidents, the general trend is that there is a higher element of risk in the sector which speaks to the importance of ensuring safety on sites,” Sullivan adds.
“Based on Safe Work QLD information, the most reported incidents in the construction sector are attributed to falling from heights, vehicles incidents and falling objects.
“This is why Fire and Safety Australia caters and delivers countless courses to construction companies and individuals, not only about fire safety but also, heights and falling objects, confined spaces, rescue courses, spotter and jumpform training - and that is just getting started.”

With the demand for sustainability initiatives growing, a construction equipment report predicts electric machinery will more than double over the next five years
Construction equipment manufacturers have significantly shifted their focus from diesel to electric machinery in recent years, to reduce their emissions and meet sustainability goals.
In light of this, a report titled Europe Electric Construction Equipment Market - Industry Outlook & Forecast 2024-2029 forecasts electric machinery will become much more prominent within the next five years.
The report states the European electric construction equipment market totalled 6,300 units in 2023, with this number expected to more than double, reaching 12,990 units by 2029 – rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.81 per cent.
With most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) releasing their new machines in Europe before Australia, it can be expected that a similar trend will be seen Down Under.
The report states it is evident that OEMs are making a push towards
sustainable construction practices which emphasise decarbonisation, energy efficiency and adoption of innovative technology.
The shift towards electric construction equipment is a key solution to reducing overall emissions during construction work.
As of 2020, it was estimated that electric construction equipment helped by saving around twomillion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, further reinforcing electric alternatives as the way to go, the report says.
Leading electric OEM Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has already introduced three electric units Down Under through its Australian dealer CJD Equipment.
Currently offering two electric compact excavators – ECR18 and ECR25 – and the L25 electric compact wheel loader, CJD says the machines can help businesses meet their sustainability goals.
“While environmental regulations
and requirements are more prevalent in Europe, they are gaining traction in Australia, prompting significant businesses, mining companies and local governments to embrace sustainable objectives,” CJD says.
“By embracing electric solutions pioneered by Volvo CE, businesses can achieve environmental benefits without comprising performance.”
Volvo CE’s electric machines produce zero emissions, allowing access to environments that their diesel counterparts would not be able to, CJD says, including indoors and underground, densely populated areas or emission-free regulated areas.
The electric construction equipment report states excavators hold the largest market share of the different categories of electric equipment, including wheel loaders, skid steers, backhoe loaders, dump trucks and telehandlers – to name a few. This was no surprise for CJD, saying electric excavators were
among the first all-electric machines to debut in the construction industry.
In 2017 Volvo CE unveiled its EX02 compact electric excavator prototype, and although the EX02 model never became commercially available, the ECR18 and ECR25 were developed and made available in Australia – in the first quarter of 2024.
It goes to show that we can expect more electric equipment to be made available in the coming years, as more prototypes are developed.
“Volvo CE has also deployed several electric mining vehicle prototypes to reduce carbon emissions in the mining industry,” CJD says.
Based on the European report, OEMs are particularly focusing on compact and medium sized electric equipment as opposed to larger ranges for the foreseeable future.
“This trend is primarily attributed to challenges associated with developing batteries suitable for large equipment and establishing adequate charging infrastructure on construction sites,” the report states.
Volvo CE continues to be a leader in the electric equipment space,
unveiling three new electric machines at Volvo Days 2024 in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The company’s first electric short tail wheeled excavator – EWR150 –and the electric L120 and L90 wheel loaders are expected to be available in select markets by the end of 2025.
“We’re excited to introduce new models as Volvo expands their availability throughout international markets,” CJD electric and sustainable technologies product manager Reid Gibson says.
“We continue to collaborate with Volvo on introducing new models and anticipate the availability of the L120 electric wheel loader in Australia by mid 2025.”
Diesel-powered equipment has long been the industry standard, however, the rise of electric construction equipment is challenging this status, CJD says.
“Volvo has committed to Science Based Targets, aiming for 35 per cent of their machine sales to be electric or alternative powered by 2030 and to achieve net-zero by 2040,” Gibson says.
“We fully support these ambitious goals and are dedicated to promoting the uptake of electric machines within the Australian market.”
Although Volvo CE and other OEMs are focusing on compact and medium-sized electric equipment, the forecast report predicts that larger versions of electric equipment, such as cranes, will be introduced by 2030.
Apart from Volvo CE, some of the other key electric OEMs identified by the report include Komatsu, Liebherr, Caterpillar, Kobelco, Kubota, HD Hyundai, Bobcat and JCB. John Deere, XCMG, Sany and Yanmar were also listed as other prominent OEMs in the electric construction equipment market.
“Electric construction equipment has already started being introduced into the Australian market,” CJD says.
“With increasing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures, the construction industry will likely witness a rapid shift towards electric machinery in the coming decades.”
UNSW researchers aiming to conquer concrete cracking, making the substance smarter and more sustainable
Engineers at UNSW are giving concrete a brain with the aim of preventing disasters and making concrete more sustainable.
Around 70 per cent of the world’s population lives in a structure built with concrete.
The composite is second only to water for use in construction, and its production is responsible for more than 8 per cent of the world’s total carbon emissions.
Experts at UNSW Sydney are aiming to make ‘smart concrete’ the future by introducing cement-based sensors that can detect cracks the naked eye can’t see and a new form of sustainable concrete that heavily reduces fossil fuel use in cement production.
Associate professor Wengui Li, in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering is using his expertise in construction materials and structural engineering to lead the research project.
His focus on concrete initially developed from an interest in seismic design, or helping buildings withstand earthquakes.
“I’ve found that maybe it’s better to do some innovation on the
material level, and then use the new material for the structures and improve the structure performance,” he says.
“I think in Australia, and over the world, more and more researchers are doing work in concrete materials.”
A/Prof. Li’s team is testing cementbased sensors that can detect microscopic cracks in the hopes they can be repaired before getting worse.
The sensors, made of conductive materials, measure ‘piezoresistivity’, or a material’s change in electrical resistance when pressure or weight is applied.
Hooked up to cables, the sensors send data that warn about cracks based on how dramatically the resistivity changes as power surges through the sensors.
A/Prof. Li says the sensors could assist in the maintenance of large apartment buildings.
A 2023 survey in NSW found 53 per cent of residential apartment buildings had a serious defect, and 7 per cent of those defects were structural.
The most notorious recent case of a structural defect, Opal Tower in western Sydney, saw residents across
Scientia associate professor Wengui Li is using his expertise in construction materials and structural engineering in the hopes of conquering concrete
392 apartments evacuated over Christmas in 2018 due to cracks in structural concrete beams.
A/Prof. Li says the sensors are better than other measuring methods like strain gauges and optical fibres, which have been used since the 1930s.
“It offers advantages like high sensitivity. The cost is low, the durability is better, it means it can be used for a longer time,” he says.
“It’s far better to act early on cracks in structures. Leaving it too late can lead to demolishing.”
Identifying cracks is one thing, but then the repair work begins.
Reinforced concrete is concrete with steel bars inside and is the foundation for most structures used today. It can have a life-span as short as 50 years before it starts to decay.
‘Concrete cancer’ happens when the steel inside reinforced concrete starts to rust. Concrete is porous, and moisture seeping in can cause the steel to expand, with the concrete cracking against the pressure.
A/Prof. Li and collaborating
researchers have successfully added a crystalline mixture to concrete that has shown healing in hairline cracks after a fortnight.
He says using self-healing concrete not only means safer structures but “has an added effect of reducing emissions by cutting down on cement production”.
“If we can solve this problem, we can improve the durability and extend the service life of the concrete to more than 100 years.”
But there is an irony with his selfhealing mixture - it must be exposed to water to work.
“It needs to be near moisture, otherwise the hydration reaction can’t happen,” the researcher adds.
The main carbon emitter when it comes to concrete is the production of cement.
Cement’s key ingredient, clinker, is made by burning things like
limestone and clay in extremely high temperatures.
Producing a tonne of cement creates nearly a tonne of CO2. A typical three-bedroom family home requires about 14 tonnes of cement.
Geopolymer concrete does away with cement and instead uses byproducts from the production of coal and iron mixed with a corrosive liquid.
It’s been used by a major Australian construction company to build an airport and a wharf, but for now it’s a lot more expensive to produce than standard concrete.
“Cost must be measured against sustainability so other alternatives still need to be explored, such as calcined clay, volcanic ash, and other waste materials,” says A/Prof. Li says
“We consume about 1,280 kilotons of glass packaging each year, of which only 59 per cent is recycled, with the rest going directly to landfills.
“To maximise the use of waste glass in concrete production, we have developed waste glass powder-based geopolymer concrete with a total glass content of over 80 per cent.”
“After trying to make concrete stronger and more durable, the next focus of concrete research will be on multifunctional concrete - smart concrete through nanotechnology and decarbonisation,” Li explains.
“Smart concrete will help achieve sustainable and intelligent buildings and infrastructure in Australia’s construction sectors.
“I predict that more and more smart concrete will be designed and deployed from labs to the field for commercialisation in our concrete industry within the next eight to 10 years.”
The smart concrete being developed by researchers at UNSW
Victorian-based Dakota Contracting Services has added a third Lamtrac 6160T mulcher carrier from Colbrook Industries to its fleet, drawn by the machine’s unique safety design and ‘unmatched’ power
Covering the whole of Victoria, but with a focus on the Macedon Ranges and Hepburn region, Dakota Contracting undertakes a variety of mulching, mowing and land clearance work, to improve vegetation and for fire prevention.
With a fleet consisting of excavators, dozers, skid steers, dedicated forestry mulchers and remote-control mulchers, a particular standout has been the Lamtrac 6160T mulcher carrier, from Colbrook Industries.
The 6160T is the third generation of Lamtrac’s compact track loader (CTL)-style mulcher carriers, offering superior performance in comparison to other machines that can carry mulching attachments – such as skid steers.
When Earthmovers & Excavators last caught up with Dakota Contracting managing director Jake Roehrich, he praised his pair of Lamtracs, saying they were making all the difference. Since then, he’s added a third 6160T unit.
Impressed with the reliability and efficiency of his first two Lamtrac 6160Ts, Roehrich decided to purchase another unit from Colbrook Industries to tackle even more vigorous work.
In comparison to other CTLS and skid steers, he says the 6160Ts are
more reliable and efficient, due to the Lamtrac machine being specifically designed for forestry mulching.
“It has a lot more horsepower than other machines in its size class,” he says.
“Although other machines can carry mulching attachments, they’re not dedicated to forestry mulching –the Lamtrac is.”
With a Cummins B4.5 Stage V engine, the 6160T produces 155 horsepower (116kW), an amount of power Roehrich says isn’t normally seen on competing machines.
“The power of the 6160T is unmatched, it’s one of the most powerful machines for that size,” he says.
Weighing in at 6.2 tonnes and fitted with a forestry ROPS/FOPS cabin, the machine was designed for Lamtrac’s home country of Canada, however, the Colbrook version offers an upgraded cooling system to compensate for the harsh Australian conditions. The three-tier radiator is capable of handling ambient temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius.
One of the features that most stands out is the door’s placement, which is on the side of the machine instead of the front – more commonly seen on other CTL’s and skid steers.
Speaking about this clever design,
Roehrich says it is a subtle, but very important safety feature for his business.
“On other CTLs and skid steers, you can’t get out of the machine if the hydraulic boom is up – you’re stuck on the inside,” he says.
“By having the door on the side of the Lamtrac, you can always get in out of the machine if there’s ever a problem, so it’s a great safety feature.”
This eliminates the risk of an operator getting stuck and trying to climb over the front of a mulcher, Roehrich adds.
To complement the power of the 6160Ts, Roehrich uses a plethora of Diamond Mowers attachments – also from Colbrook Industries – including drum mulchers, disc mulchers and brush cutters.
Procuring machinery from Colbrook for approximately three years, Dakota Contracting’s fleet now consists of a variety of Colbrook’s machines and attachments –alongside the three Lamtracs.
A great relationship is a huge part of the reason Dakota Contracting keeps coming back to Colbrook, with Roehrich saying the customer service and support has been second to none.
“In this industry you’re always going to have issues with your machinery, but it’s important to have the right people behind you to keep you going,” he says.
“The support and customer service from Colbrook has been the best I’ve ever had, compared to other businesses, so it’s a credit to them.”
Colbrook Industries is the sole distributor of Lamtrac machinery in Australia and New Zealand. For more information on the Lamtrac 6160T, visit www. colbrookindustries.com.au or call (03) 8369 6610.

BULK2024 is Australia’s only dedicated exhibition for the bulk solids handling industry
Previous editions have been praised for sparking conversations and creating valuable leads within the industry, and BULK2024 will be no exception, attendees are saying.
The Australian Bulk Handling Expo (BULK) will return to Melbourne in September 2024, connecting people to people and business to business, while showcasing solutions that will help the bulk solids handling industry move their products to where they are needed most – both domestically and internationally.
The event will feature an expansive trade show, showcasing the latest solutions for the industry, as well as hosting an informative two-day conference discussing how businesses can take the next step to remain cutting-edge in a constantly changing world.
Lincom Group CEO Stephen Watterson speaks to Earthmovers & Excavators ahead of BULK 2024, highlighting its potential for providing market feedback and
client leads.
“We’ve done BULK before and for our business – it’s a good show to go to,” he says.
“It’s a good show to go to for the broader range of clients that we see there.
“I’d certainly back it – it’s a good one to attend and we’re certainly happy to support it.”
Established in 1995, Lincom Group is the parent company for a specialised range of businesses supplying quarry, mining, recycling and forestry industries with the sales, service and hire of screening, crushing, bulk handling, shredding, grinding and water treatment equipment.
Lincom Group boasts operations throughout Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands with service hubs, warehouses and offices located in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland.
“Obviously, we do the Thor Global radial telescopic conveyors for the
mining sector, the ship loading and ports and terminal sector,” Watterson adds.
“A lot of those guys are also utilising a lot of our Powerscreen crushing and screening equipment in processing some materials on those ports and wharves and facilities as well.
“So from Lincom’s point of view, it’s a good show as it showcases a multitude of brands that we present to our clients.”
With COVID-19 in the rearview mirror, and its shipping and supply problems a thing of the past, Watterson is confident of a big turnout at this year’s event.
“COVID-19 has settled down [and] shipping delays and the supply issues have all calmed down,” he says.
“I’m looking forward to hearing market feedback from our clients - we do that every day anyway but it’ll be good to touch base with people we haven’t seen for a while.
“I think a few more people will be

coming for those sorts of reasons, and there’s an expectation of getting a bigger crowd there because everything has calmed down.
Watterson would encourage others in the industry to exhibit or at least attend BULK2024, saying the event boasts a “broad range”.
“I would absolutely encourage that because it covers everything - that’s what I find with BULK.
It’s everything - it’s material handling equipment, it’s sensors, it’s valves, there’s a multitude of suppliers there.
“I think it covers a very, very good, broad range that most clients would adapt to anyway,
“Whether they’re using crushers or
excavators or earthmoving or trucks or whatever, there’s everything and there’s something there for everyone.

Jackson Haddad takes a look at some of the artificial intelligence concepts and innovations from leading OEMs
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming common in our everyday lives – from ChatGPT and customer service chatbots, to voice assistants and facial recognition –there’s no denying that AI is going to be a huge part of the future. What it might be less known for, is the way it can be used in the construction industry to improve productivity and safety for workers.
This can be achieved with autonomous machinery – including wheel loaders, excavators, dozers and dump trucks that can work on their own – eliminating the need for an operator to work in the cabin.
Over the past few years some leading OEMs have integrated AIconcepts and innovations into their businesses – Earthmovers & Excavators showcases these.
Develon
Formerly Doosan Construction
Equipment, Develon’s Concept-X autonomous crawler excavator was first introduced in 2019.
This year at Intermat Paris, the company introduced Concept-X 2.0 – expanding on the original autonomous excavator, while also adding an autonomous dozer.
Featuring a cabinless design, Intermat attendees had the opportunity to witness live demonstrations of the DD100CX dozer and DX225-CX crawler
excavator, which took place several times a day at the Develon stand.
The company says Concept-X 2.0, the successor to Concept-X 1.0, takes autonomous smart construction to the next level.
Designed to minimise risks and improve safety, Develon product strategy manager Thomas Lee says these concept machines incorporate new emergency stop functions that weren’t included in the first concept.
“Known as E-Stop safety technology, the machines detect either a person or a vehicle and will stop by itself,” he says.
“Even when there is no obstacle, it will wait for three seconds and then perform its job.”
The new Dozer further enhances safety with its 180-degree detection range, interlocked machine control and LED lights.
Develon says LEDs integrated into machine operations provide a
non-verbal language to understand the equipment’s status safely.
It is expected that there will be a third iteration of Concept-X in the future.
First revealed at Las Vegas’ 2024 CES technology event, the RogueX2 concept loader incorporates automation with all-electric operation.
Designed and built without a cab, this machine explores Doosan Bobcat’s vision for the future, where loaders work on their own – without the need for an operator.
While the original concept used tracks, RogueX2 was designed with wheels to optimise battery run time, the company says.
New patents are already pending for the original RogueX and RogueX2 concept loaders.
“These patents represent more than new features on a machine – they signify how we are breaking rules to define a new work experience,” Doosan Bobcat global innovation vice president Joel Honeyman says.
“To build a smarter, more sustainable and connected future, we must ask the questions no one else has thought to ask before and invent new solutions that previously did not exist.”
As concept designs, both loaders are not yet commercially available but will be able to influence future Bobcat designs, the company says.
Inspired by a concept devised by Volvo CE and Lego Technic
engineers and designers, the Volvo CE LX03 wheel loader was first introduced in late 2021. It pays homage to the 42081 Lego Technic Concept Wheel Loader Zeux.
“This is the first time we are making a real machine based on a model and not the other way around – and that is what makes this a truly unique project,” Lego Technic head of products Niels Henrik Horsted says.
The 4.5-tonne (5-ton) autonomous loader has the capability of being made larger or smaller with minimal changes to the manufacturing process, Volvo CE says.
Designed to help decarbonise the construction industry, the batteryelectric prototype shares its driveline with Volvo CE’s L25 electric loader – producing zero emissions and low noise levels.
“Together with the Lego Group, we are pushing the boundaries of both technology and imagination and the
result is beyond anything the world has seen before,” Volvo CE president Melker Jernberg says.
Capable of adapting to different scenarios, Volvo CE says the LX03 can make decisions in real-time and can be programmed to complete a range of heavy, repetitive and dangerous tasks – that an operator would usually have to deal with.
While not commercially available, company engineers expect that valuable insights from the LX03 will feed into applications for the future.
Caterpillar (Cat) has been at the forefront of AI-powered solutions for years, announcing in 2022 that it had the world’s largest fleet of autonomous haul trucks, with 500 units. Its autonomous output dates back 30 years ago, running two prototype Cat 777C autonomous mining trucks at a Texas limestone quarry, Cat says.
“Incorporating AI into our product development process continues our tradition of harnessing technology and innovation as demonstrated by our extensive patent portfolio,” Cat chief technology officer and senior vice president Otto Breitschwerdt says.
Cat chief information officer and IT senior vice president Jamie Engstrom sees a wealth of new opportunities as the company adopts AI tools.
“AI will revolutionise the way we interact with machines and design interfaces between systems, it’s fascinating and changing at a very rapid rate,” she says.
Caterpillar says Engstrom’s team is working hard to enable a safe environment where the business can innovate and thrive.
The team has developed an Intelligent Automation Centre of Excellence and a GenAI community of practice where employees participate in AI use cases and stay up-to-date with the company’s latest GenAI news.
HD Hyundai’s ‘Future Xite’ theme was first shown to CES 2024 attendees in Las Vegas, where they were greeted by a 4.5-metre-tall autonomous excavator.
This unmanned concept is equipped with wide-angle radar sensors and an all-around-view monitoring system, allowing the excavator to perceive its surroundings and operate safely, HD Hyundai says.
Equipped with four independent wheels, the company says the concept excavator can work on steep hills by itself – reducing safety hazards for operators.
Each crawler track is independent so the machine can adapt to different landscapes and keep traction. It has a built-in tilt rotator and an auto balancing counterweight, while the undercarriage is detachable.
The versatility and performance of LiuGong wheel loaders is rapidly expanding their workplace experience across Australia, including into the yards of scrap metal recyclers
Immix Integrated Metal Management has built a strong history in the scrap metal recycling sector in Melbourne, regional Victoria and New South Wales.
In addition to Melbourne, the family-owned business has sites at Shepparton, Wangaratta, Hallam, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga.
The company has contracts with regional councils, helping to reduce scrap metal loads in landfill, it has bins placed with numerous building and mining industry organisations, and it also collects scrap metal from the farming sector.
Most typical scrap metal is processed and exported, while recycled, non-ferrous material is generally sold locally.
At its Wodonga site, Immix recently decided to invest in a LiuGong wheel loader for the first time.
A high-spec 835H model was selected by the company to join the working rigs at the site, which includes Kobelco excavators and Sennebogen material handlers.
The LiuGong loader works with a mesh screen to sieve dirt out of scrap metal collections before processing, while a large bucket with a grab also assists to push up and tidy the scrap metal piles.
LiuGong wheel loaders boast Cummins engines and German transmissions, and offer simple operation, particularly in relation to their electrical systems, as well as performance and comfort.
The turbocharged and air-to-air intercooled, six-cylinder, Stage III Cummins engines offer speeds
of up to 40 kilometres per hour, while the countershaft, power shift transmissions provide four forward speeds and three reverse speeds.
The 160-horsepower 835H model used at the Immix site at Wodonga offers a 7.9-tonne tipping load and has chalked-up about 600 hours.
Comfort, visibility and safety have been other major focus areas for LiuGong with its wheel loaders and this has been recognised by the Immix team.
The 835H model has 360-degree surround handrails and anti-slip steps, leading into an ergonomic, fullypressurised cab with multi-adjustable armrest, joystick and air-suspension seat. Cabs are similar on all loaders, all featuring curved, panoramic glass windows.
Branch Manager Tim Karpeles, who joined the business about 18 months ago after working in the defence industry, says a lack of familiarity meant there was some initial hesitation from some of the company’s operators over jumping
The Immix team with the mesh screen on the LiuGong 835H wheel loader used to sieve dirt out of scrap metal collections
in a LiuGong loader, but this was short-lived.
“They are certainly happy to get behind the wheel,” he says.
The LiuGong wheel loaders also incorporate easy-to-access service points that allow for fast maintenance checks. Wide-opening engine hoods reveal the easy service points, while hydraulic hoses and air, diesel and oil filters can all be easily reached and quickly changed.
“We had to look into a few things with the setting up of the mesh screen and we re-routed some of the hydraulics to keep them out of the way, but otherwise we have had no issues and no complaints,” Tim adds.
Immix purchased the wheel loader through Pacific Machinery Group and Tim says the dealer completed the 500-hour service and provided good support with the machine. All other services are completed by the Immix team.
LiuGong’s high-spec wheel loaders offer a range of extra features in addition to the standard models, including reversing fans, variable hydraulic transmissions, radial tyres, ride control, rear view cameras, larger buckets on some models, air suspension seats and auto lubrication.
Tim says Immix is now considering further LiuGong machines to support a system for farm clean-ups the company is hoping to progress into 2025.

Any construction regulator will require independence to ensure any changes in industrial relations are lawful
The current attention the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) is getting in the media should not be a surprise to governments and those who have been in the industry.
Many in industry, including myself, have been warning the government over the last four years that changes in legislation and the implementation of policies – such as the Best Practice Industry Conditions – would allow the worst of the union movement to rise.
It is clear that our industry needs its own regulator, similar to other sectors such as banking, superannuation, corporations etc. It needs its own powers and independence to ensure industrial relations are conducted within the law by all participants.
I am not anti-union. On the contrary, over many years working in both Victoria and Queensland I have had a very positive relationship with the union movement.
In fact, prior to me returning to university I was a member of the Building Workers’ Industrial Union (BWIU) and subsequently the CFMEU. All builders and labourers were subsequently covered after the deregistration of the Builders Labourers Federation (BLF) in Victoria.
I have seen the best and the worst of the union movement from both sides of the fence.
Good unions understand their membership and work tirelessly in improving wages and conditions for their members. They can be a beneficial partner of employers and industry adding value to common goals.
Part of the understanding is the sustainability of industry and the rule
of law. Without good employers and an industry that doesn’t price itself out of existence, the ability to provide long-term continuous employment will be out of the question.
Unfortunately, this is where we are now. Without doubt the construction industry cannot and will not be able to afford the loss of productivity, disruption and pricing we are seeing now and be able to be a long-term proposition at sustainable volumes.
Unless there is a change, less infrastructure will be delivered, which in turn will mean less jobs in the sector.
It is a shame that governments feign surprise at the publicised behaviour of the CFMEU when in reality this is a result of their actions.
It is not new, and a quick review of history over the last 40 years reveals there have been four Royal Commissions into the building and construction industry.
• 1982: Winneke Royal Commission into the activities of the Builders Labourers Federation
• 1992: Gyles Royal Commission into the Productivity in the Building industry in NSW
• 2001: Cole Royal Commission into the Building and Construction Industry
• 2014: Heydon Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption
Unless there is a change, there will be less infrastructure delivery and fewer jobs, the CCF QLD CEO warns. Image: stock/ adobe.com / Enrique del Barrio
A common thread through the findings of these Royal Commissions is threats and acts of violence, intimidation, people not speaking up due to fear of reprisal, corruption, collusive arrangements, wilful defiance of the law and declining productivity.
Recommendations from these Royal Commissions have been implemented and unwound by successive governments.
Some in the union movement have called these Royal Commissions ‘witch hunts’ or biased against unions, however those who have read the reports will also see a thread of employers’ nonconformance throughout, aiding and abetting unlawful behaviour.
It seems it is approximately a 10-year cycle that issues in the building construction sector raise their heads.
Whilst a Royal Commission to date has been ruled out, there is action from the Federal Government and the General Manager of the Fair Work Commission.
The Fair Work Commission’s general manager, Murray Furlong, has now initiated proceedings in the Federal Court under s.323 of the Fair Works Registered Organisations Act 2009 to appoint independent administrators to all branches of CFMEU, except Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory.
But it seems the general manager has reserved the right to bring proceedings against these branches at a later date. I suspect this will depend on evidence-based allegations of poor behaviour received.
This process will take some time, and the Federal Government and New South Wales state government have indicated that they will introduce legislation to help support the action. Others may follow.
There is a lot of water to pass under the bridge and the end result is not clear.
I wonder if this would be necessary if the changes to the federal industrial relations laws and the abolition of the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) had not happened.
Season one of the NAWIC Couch saw five guests share their experiences of working in the construction industry
From inception, the NAWIC Diversity and Inclusion Portfolio set out to break down barriers, create opportunities and raise awareness for the least represented in our community – and for those who don’t always feel part of the ‘everybody’.
As a part of platforming, listening to, understanding and advocating for these voices we committed to sharing the stories, achievements, challenges and insights of those who don’t typically put themselves in the spotlight.
Welcome to the NAWIC Couch, hosted by Rachael Sharp, where we bring you into the room for gritty, relevant and real conversations with people within our community who are underrepresented, face particularly high barriers to entry and success or are misunderstood and are doing incredible things in their communities and the construction industry.
In season one, we welcomed five guests to share their backgrounds, their stories and to openly discuss the construction industry. After spending some time on the NAWIC Couch with us, we hope that wider awareness, reflection and action will follow.
Lisa is a proud young Arrernte and Kaytetye woman who is passionate about helping others around her, showing and letting people know they can achieve anything they put their mind to, she wants people to be inspired and to go hard and take chances.
Lisa wants to tell the younger generation that education is the key, not just in the western educational
system but also cultural education –especially for Indigenous people. She wants people who identify as both Indigenous and non-Indigenous to educate themselves on the strong, rich and unique culture that dates to 65,000 years ago.
Thanh believes in strong independent females, seeing them and being one of them. Thanh has not only worked in the construction industry for 18 years, but she has studied for a master’s degree and founded her business at the age of 23.
She talks about how she incorporates her values across all aspects of her life and the legacy she wants to leave behind for others. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that we can’t wait to share with you.

Luisa is a self-proclaimed passionate advocate for diversity in STEM and she backs it up with all the work she does in that space. Luisa has cultivated an online following and a safe space for people to share their honest and challenging experiences in the construction industry, especially the experiences of women.
Luisa’s posts have reached up to 400,000 people but she still grapples with whether she should or shouldn’t post, what the implications might be if she does, and if she wants to be the face of discussing the problem of sexual harassment in construction.
The Tandel sisters were born in India and went to primary school in the
NAWIC Couch host Rachael Sharp sat down with electrician Chloe Hite for episode five of the podcast. Image: NAWIC
Middle East before moving to Australia with their family and following in their father’s footsteps to become civil engineers. Whilst their stories are intertwined, the sisters have their own unique experiences and opinions about their journey to and experience in the construction industry.
Vini and Princi share the importance of having a support network, having resilience and discuss how their unique upbringing prepared them for their careers in construction and how they both now feel like they truly belong here.
Chloe wasn’t sure what she wanted to do when she finished school, but after some encouragement from her mum, and through word of mouth, she took part in work experience and quickly realised that pursuing an apprenticeship as an electrician was the right decision for her.
Chloe’s experience in the industry has been mostly positive – she believes that there shouldn’t be a label on who can or can’t be in a trade. Chloe wants to encourage young women and men to consider a career in trades, and remind people who might not feel smart enough, or good enough, that if you are passionate and willing to put in the effort then you can do it.

WorkSafe Victoria provides guidance and information on dealing with crystalline silica dust in construction
Crystalline silica is a natural mineral found in construction materials such as concrete, bricks, tiles, mortar and engineered stone. It includes substances such as quartz, cristobalite, tridymite or tripoli.
Common materials and their typical crystalline silica content include:
• sandstone: 70 to 90 per cent
• g ranite: 25 to 60 per cent
• ceramic tiles: 5 to 45 per cent
• autoclaved aerated concrete: 20 to 40 per cent
• slate: 20 to 40 per cent
• concrete: less than 30 per cent
• porcelain: 14 to 18 per cent
• brick: 5 to 15 per cent
• marble: less than 5 per cent
• engineered stone: 1 per cent or more crystalline silica, determined as a weight/weight concentration
Crystalline silica dust is generated when these substances are mechanically processed – for example, through construction activities such as cutting or grinding. These dust particles are small enough to be breathed deep into the lungs
Exposure to crystalline silica dust over a long period at low to moderate levels, or short periods at high levels, can lead to serious health conditions such as silicosis, WorkSafe Victoria warns.
Silicosis is an irreversible, incurable and progressive lung disease that can lead to disability and death.
Construction and demolition employees can be at risk of developing these diseases.
WorkSafe Victoria says employers have duties to manage risks from crystalline silica dust under Part 4.1 (Hazardous substances) and Part 4.5 (Crystalline silica) of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 (OHS Regulations).
Under the OHS Regulations, employers must ensure employees are not exposed to respirable crystalline silica dust at the workplace at a level above the exposure standard.
The exposure standard for crystalline silica dust, listed under Quartz, Cristobalite, Tridymite, Tripoli (respirable dust), is 0.05mg per cubic metre as a time-weighted average (TWA) airborne concentration over eight hours.
An eight-hour TWA exposure standard is the maximum average airborne concentration of a particular substance permitted over an eighthour working day, for a five-day working week.
Where a workplace has working hours that exceed an eight-hour day or a 40-hour week, the TWA needs to be adjusted to compensate for the
Employers are required to inform employees about crystalline silica dust risks and provide air and health monitoring. Image: stock.adobe / evgeny
greater exposure.
WorkSafe Victoria recommends that employees are not exposed to levels above 0.02mg per cubic metreas an eight-hour TWA.
This is a precautionary measure to prevent silicosis and to minimise the risk of lung cancer.
A crystalline silica process means one or more of the following processes carried out at a workplace:
• T he use of a power tool or other form of mechanical plant to cut, grind, polish or crush material containing crystalline silica or to carry out any other activity involving material containing crystalline silica that generates crystalline silica dust
• T he use of a roadheader on an excavated face if the material in the face contains crystalline silica
• A process that exposes a person to crystalline silica dust arising from the manufacture or handling of material that contains crystalline silica
• T he mechanical screening of crushed material containing crystalline silica
• A quarrying process involving material containing crystalline silica
• A tunnelling process involving material containing crystalline silica
• A process determined by WorkSafe to be a crystalline silica process
High risk crystalline silica work (HRCSW) is an engineered stone process, or work performed in connection with a crystalline silica process that is reasonably likely to result in an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica that exceeds half the exposure standard for respirable crystalline silica, or a risk to the health of a person at the workplace.
Before starting a crystalline silica process, an employer or self-employed person must identify whether the crystalline silica processes are HRCSW, WorkSafe Victoria says. This must be done by conducting
A municipal works, civil and commercial construction event.
17-18 September 2025,
In September 2025, a new event will be landing at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Converge will bring together leading decision makers in the Municipal Works, Civil and Commercial Construction space, to share the tools, ideas and technologies that are shaping these sectors.
a risk assessment or by choosing to treat that work as HRCSW without doing a risk assessment.
If doing a risk assessment, the employer or self-employed person must consider the following factors:
• T he specific tasks or processes required to be undertaken with material that contains crystalline silica.
• T he form of crystalline silica to be used, for example: brick, concrete, crushed rock.
• T he proportion of crystalline silica contained in the material.
• T he previous atmospheric monitoring results.
• T he likely frequency and duration of exposure to crystalline silica dust.
• A ny information about incidents, illnesses or diseases associated with exposure to crystalline silica dust at the workplace.
A crystalline silica hazard control statement is a document prepared for HRCSW carried out at a workplace.
Similar to a safe work method statement (SWMS) for high risk construction work, it sets out the hazards and risks arising from the work and details the measures to control those risks and how they will be implemented.
If the HRCSW is being undertaken as part of high risk construction work, the hazard control statement can be incorporated into a SWMS.
WorkSafe VIC advises an employer or a self-employed person must not perform HRCSW unless:
• a crystalline silica hazard control statement is prepared for the work before the work begins, and
• t he work is performed in line with that hazard control statement
WorkSafe VIC also says employers must ensure that applicants for jobs involving high risk crystalline silica work are given information about the health risks associated with exposure to respirable crystalline silica; the need for measures to control those risks; and details about the control measures.
Information, instruction and training needs to be provided to employees who are likely to be exposed to risks associated with undertaking high risk crystalline silica work, the organisation adds, including on:
• t he health risks associated with exposure to crystalline silica dust
• t he need for any risk control measures required by the OHS Regulations
• t he proper use of any risk control measures required by the OHS Regulations
• how the risk control measures are to be implemented
Atmospheric monitoring, or air monitoring, for crystalline silica involves sampling the air for respirable crystalline silica within the employees’ breathing zone.
WorkSafe Victoria states that by law, employers must carry out atmospheric monitoring if they
Crystalline silica is generated when materials such as concrete are mechanically processed. Image: stock.adobe / Kadmy
are not sure if their employees are exposed to levels of silica dust that are above the exposure standard; or they can’t work out if there is a risk to employee health without air monitoring.
Employers should also carry out atmospheric monitoring:
• when there are changes to work practices, the materials being used or the work environment
• i f a health monitoring report for an employee indicates a negative change in health status which may be related to silica exposure
• i f an HSR requests a review of control measures because there is uncertainty based on reasonable grounds as to whether the exposure standard is or may be exceeded
• i f there are changes to the workplace exposure standard, and previous atmospheric monitoring results have indicated levels above the new standard.
The interpretation of these results, including comparison with the exposure standard, should be carried out by a competent person, to determine employee exposure to crystalline silica dust. An occupational hygienist is an example of a competent person.
Results of air monitoring must be shared as soon as reasonably possible with employees who have been or may have been exposed, WorkSafe Victoria says.
Employers must also ensure health monitoring is carried out for an employee if exposure to crystalline silica is reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the employee’s health.
Health monitoring must be done under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner and should be carried out by a specialist occupational and environmental physician or respiratory physician with expertise in respiratory and silica exposure health monitoring.

Caterpillar has updated its online web platform, VisionLink Productivity, with three features
Caterpillar (Cat) has introduced Cat Grade and Compact, Operator Coaching and E-Ticketing as new features for its VisionLink Productivity web platform.
Designed to give managers insights into jobsite productivity and equipment utilisation, the cloud-based application summarises data from any subscribed machine equipped with a Cat Product Link device. Cat says this allows fleets with mixed OEM equipment to be incorporated into one unified platform.
VisionLink Productivity analyses standard telematics data, such as machine location, fuel burn and idle time.
Cat Grade and Compact
The VisionLink Productivity system now enables 3D design files and updates to be distributed to all machines at the jobsite –eliminating the need for USB uploads.
The platform’s accuracy is increased further with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) corrections.
Operator Coaching
This tool helps operators of all experience levels enhance their skills, efficiency and productivity, Cat says. Two categories of operator coaching tips are tracked –Operating Efficiency and Machine Health.
Cat Payload E-Ticketing
The new E-Ticketing feature eliminates the need for manual or printed tickets generated by onboard Cat Payload systems.
Key personnel can now receive an electronic copy of the tickets via email.
Technicians from Toyota Material Handling Australia’s (TMHA) Adelaide branch have taken out the two major prizes at its 2024 National Skills Competition
Technicians from Toyota Material Handling Australia’s (TMHA) Adelaide branch have taken out the prizes at the company’s National Skills Competition (NSC).
Having run for 20 years, the NSC lets technicians and apprentices test their abilities and product knowledge in a range of written and practical challenges across TMHA’s range of Toyota forklifts, Huski construction equipment and allied equipment.
Michael Scheepers from TMHA Adelaide was judged Master Technician for 2024.
TMHA Brisbane-based Luke Agnew claimed the runner-up prize, while Aaron Smith - also from TMHA Brisbane - rounded out the top three.
The winning technicians were chosen following two rounds of online written tests, and after being flown to TMHA’s head office in Moorebank, New South Wales, for a two-day competition comprising eight stages.
Four stages were dedicated to servicing equipment across the entire TMHA range, with the other four stages challenging technicians to find and identify faults in products and to repair the products to a working state.
As Master Technician, Scheepers was awarded a $5,000 cash prize as well as a free international trip and factory tour of one of Toyota Material
Competitors, adjudicators and the TMHA management team at the 2024 TMHA National Skills Competition. Image: TMHA
Handling’s manufacturing facilities in either Japan, Sweden or the US. Second prize came with a $2,000 cash prize, while third place was awarded $1,000.
All TMHA apprentices are required to compete.
Six of the highest-scoring apprentices were also flown to Moorebank, where they spent a single day rotating through six 45minute stations, ranging from fault finding to servicing and electrical processes such as crimping terminals and soldering, testing batteries and fork tynes, chains and hydraulics.
After a close-run finish, fourthyear apprentice Joshua Lambert from TMHA Adelaide was awarded the 2024 national apprentice of the year award, and as a result will be accompanying Scheepers on an overseas factory tour.
All eight finalist technicians received a $250 voucher for making it to the finals, while the six apprentices were awarded a $100 voucher. All technicians and apprentices who made it to the second round of testing also scored a voucher worth $50.
JCB has launched Intelliweigh for heavy wheeled loaders in the UK. Image: JCB
JCB’s Intelliweigh system is capable of weighing loads on multiple attachments
As part of its Waste & Controls option package, JCB will introduce the Intelliweigh system for its 427, 437 and 457 wheeled loader models in Australia later this year. The system was launched recently in the United Kingdom.
JCB says the system provides an accurate, digital and connected on-board weighing solution straight from the factory.
JCB Intelliweigh, which comes with an optional printer, has been specifically designed and developed for JCB wheeled loading shovels.
It is capable of weighing loads on a multitude of attachments even when working on uneven ground conditions, leading to reduced cycle times and maximising its tonnes per hour performance, the company says.
Offering an accuracy rating within two per cent and an ergonomic 7-inch (17cm) touchscreen display with physical keys for increased useability, the Intelliweigh system is compatible with up to 10 different attachments, including forks and buckets.
Intelliweigh can be used as a split system, allowing the operator to load and weigh multiple vehicles on a single site.
Individual targets can be set for each vehicle while maintaining the same overall target weight, to ensure that all vehicles and trailers are filled evenly and to their maximum capacity.
Split loading provides the convenience of combined weight tickets, to allow customers to calculate total combined material weights from a site.
The Intelliweigh display can also be used to show the reversing camera feed, when fitted.

Kobelco has added two new short radius excavators with Tier 3 engines to its Australian portfolio
The new SK225SR-7 and SK235SR-7 weigh in at 23.3 tonnes and 25 tonnes respectively, with the benefits of a Tier 3 engine.
Since introducing its first short radius (SR) concept in 1996, Kobelco says it now has the largest SR range in the Australian market – covering machines from 1 tonne to 38 tonnes.
SR machines benefit from a smaller working footprint, Kobelco says, which means that they can access tighter working areas and can work in one lane of a freeway.
“Increased requirements for urban infrastructure, utilities and road building means an increased demand for compact machinery,” Kobelco Australia general manager of product and distribution Mark Johnson says.
“The SK225SR-7 and SK235SR7 provide the same powerful performance and lifting capacity as our mid-weight conventional machines, but with a smaller working footprint of just 4.05m and 3.68m respectively.”
Both new SR excavators benefit from 127kW of power, through the Tier 3 engines, and 22 per cent higher torque than previous models.

thickness of the arm has also been increased by 25 per cent, making it 1.25 times stronger than the previous generation model.
The bucket cylinder has been reinforced by enlarging the flange and increasing the rod side pin diameter from 80mm to 85 mm.
Both machines are equipped with a cabin that includes radio, Bluetooth and hands-free telephone features. Two bright LED work lights have also been included to improve visibility.

Building upon an ongoing partnership, Liebherr and Fortescue Metals have announced plans to develop an autonomous haulage solution
Partnering since June 2022, Liebherr and Fortescue plan to further collaborate on a project that will develop and validate an autonomous haulage solution (AHS).
The AHS will be integrated with zero emission haul trucks that the companies are currently co-developing, with the aim to be the first AHS operating zero emissions vehicles globally, Liebherr announced.
As part of the AHS development, both companies say they will develop an integrated fleet management system and a machine guidance solution, capable of being used independently on humanoperated sites.
Once the system is validated, the autonomous haulage solution will be deployed across Fortescue mine sites.
“Our deep expertise in autonomous haulage that has come from operating over 200 diesel autonomous haul trucks across our mine sites, has enabled Fortescue and Liebherr to develop a fleet management system that uniquely targets efficiency and unlocks untapped capacity in our fleet,” Fortescue Metals chief executive officer Dino Otranto says.
The AHS, the fleet management system and machine guidance solution will also be made available to customers worldwide as part of Liebherr’s expanding technology portfolio.
“Our collaborative efforts will be beneficial for not only Fortescue, but all customers who choose to implement Liebherr technology products on their sites,” Liebherr Mining executive vice president of R&D, engineering and production Oliver Weiss says.
In August 2023, Liebherr announced the deployment of four T 264 autonomous trucks in Western Australia for onsite validation, which marked the next stage of Liebherr’s development of a new autonomy product for the mining industry.
This onsite validation is currently taking place in partnership with Fortescue at its Christmas Creek mine site.
It is estimated the new quarry holds more than 13 million tonnes of sand
The Victorian government has approved its first new sand quarry close to Melbourne in more than 20 years, in a move it says will meet growing demand for housing, infrastructure and renewable energy.
Estimated to hold more than 13 million tonnes of sand, the state government says the site at Lang Lang will help ensure supply keeps up with the demand of the Big Build and residential construction across Victoria – keeping material prices low.
The new quarry is expected to create 30 jobs directly with the potential for many more in related industries and throughout the community, the government adds.
“We’re making sure Victoria’s booming quarry sector can keep delivering the raw materials needed to build the projects we need – from affordable housing to new hospitals and renewable energy projects,” says Minister for Energy and Resources Lily D’Ambrosio.
“Bringing high quality sand to market will deliver important benefits to our infrastructure builds and is crucial to keep prices for

construction materials down.”
Lang Lang Sands is part of the Aurora Construction Materials group which produces recycled materials. Sand from the new quarry will supplement these materials to produce higher grade concrete.
Record infrastructure investment is driving demand for raw quarry materials, including sand which is a vital ingredient for concrete. Making more sand available reduces the likelihood of supply shortages in the years to come.
Quarry production in Victoria is growing year-on-year with a 14 per cent increase over three years, reaching an annual production record of 73.6 million tonnes of rock, sand and gravel.
For every one tonne of quarry material currently being produced, four new tonnes have now been approved for development to meet future demand and reduce prices.

WHSQ inspectors will assess if workplaces are compliant with the state’s work health and safety laws. Image: tong2530 / stock. adobe.com
Construction work performed at height will be a focus of a workplace health and safety compliance blitz rolling out across Queensland this month.
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) will focus on construction work performed at height as part of a state-wide safety compliance blitz aiming to reduce workplace incidents.
The regulator says data it has collected shows significant injuries occur in the construction industry when working at height, and that there are high levels of noncompliance relating to scaffolding and working near overhead power lines.
These areas will be the focus of the construction compliance campaign to take place across the state from July to September this year.
The compliance blitz includes an awareness phase, where WHSQ will provide Queensland construction businesses with information and tools to educate and assist in compliance with WHS legislation.
Following that phase, WHS inspectors will assess if workplaces are compliant with the work health and safety laws and take necessary enforcement action when noncompliance is detected.
Businesses are encouraged to visit worksafe.qld.gov.au or contact the WHSQ team about how to comply with legislation.
The Saferoads Rubber T-Lok temporary barriers are made from recycled tyres. Image: Victoria’s Big Build SAFETY
Safety barriers made using recycled tyres are preventing landfill waste and protecting workers on Victoria’s North East Link project
In an Australian-first, safety barriers incorporating old tyres are helping protect hundreds of workers building Victoria’s North East Link and saving tonnes of waste from going to landfill.
Keeping traffic moving during construction is a priority, and safety barriers between the road and site are crucial to keeping everyone safe.
Tunnelling contractor Spark has installed more than 220 Saferoads Rubber T-Lok temporary barriers across the project – with more than half of these in Bulleen, at the southern end of the 6.5km tunnel in eastern Melbourne.
The temporary barriers are made using a mixture of concrete and crumb rubber from end-of-life tyres, with the manufacturer saying it uses 12 tonnes of recycled tyres – roughly 2,000 – for every kilometre of the barrier produced.
Almost 56 million tyres are
discarded nationally every year, but just 10 per cent are recycled.
Researchers from the University of Melbourne also found that by using a mixture of recycled crumb rubber from end-of-life tyres and concrete, the T-Lok barriers are more flexible and durable – improving crash outcomes.
The T-Lok barriers are also being used within construction sites to separate workers from heavy machinery and haul roads.
From Watsonia to Bulleen, a huge amount of work is underway to build the North East Link – with more than 5,000 workers already working on the project that will take 15,000 trucks off local roads and slash travel times by 35 minutes.
North East Link is expected to open in 2028 and is jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments.

“With the ability to work across all makes, models and types of machinery, Aptella was a natural choice as our distribution partner in the region.
“Our team looks forward to working together to enable advanced safety for Aptella’s customers.”
Under the agreement, Aptella will offer full sales, deployment, training and technical support to customers.
A report from Kennards Hire has revealed Australia’s construction confidence has increased from last year, with the sector viewed as ‘stable and resilient to pressures’
Australian family-owned equipment hire business, Kennards Hire, has revealed that construction confidence has increased 12 per cent from last year in its 2024 Construction Confidence Check report.
Its third annual survey shows a majority (93 per cent) of construction business leaders view Australia’s construction industry as stable and able to withstand pressures to continue growing, compared to 81 per cent in 2023.
Survey findings suggest optimism is strong due to costsaving measures, with 37 per cent of construction business leaders focusing on increasing the quality of workmanship to reduce rework.
Similarly, 57 per cent of those surveyed say their business plan includes investing in technology to manage projects more efficiently and effectively over the next 12 months.
“Investment into the construction industry is booming like never before, so this year’s Construction Confidence Check survey results of increased confidence are not surprising,” Kennards Hire Commercial general manager Tony Symons says.
“We are currently seeing unprecedented levels of construction activity in every state in Australia, and this work is expected to continue for at least the next three years.”
The 2024 report surveyed over 410 of Australia’s business leaders from small construction business (20-99 employees) and larger one (100 or more employees).
Kennards Hire’s 2024 Construction Confidence Check report shows confidence has grown. Image: APchanel/stock.adobe.com
Its findings provide an insight into the fluctuating market, how construction business leaders are faring in the current environment, and an outlook on the industry’s future.
On average, the proportion of total lost productivity hours due to old and faulty equipment is 28 per cent, Symons adds.
“Opting to hire equipment rather than purchasing gives access to products with the latest technology without the burden of ownership, reduces upfront costs, and enables participation in the sharing economy, which we have also found contributes to our customers’ ESG goals,” he says.
Industry perceptions on ESG are also included in this year’s survey, with 90 per cent of construction leaders admitting to having an ESG strategy in place or plans to implement one.
Construction business leaders surveyed say there are three main factors in their ESG approach:
• Meeting mandatory ESG requirements as a project supplier (34 per cent)
• Collaborating with Indigenous-owned suppliers through social procurement (33 per cent)
• Obtaining project site accreditation from the Green Building Council of Australia (33 per cent).

Caterpillar has released an undercarriage wear remote monitoring system to help plan maintenance and predict when wear out will occur
The Cat Track Wear Sensor (CTWS), released globally by Caterpillar (Cat), is exclusive to Cat machines and undercarriages.
Monitored within the Cat Wear Management System, the new CTWS wirelessly communicates critical track link wear information from the machine to the dealer for monitoring.
By remotely monitoring undercarriage wear, Cat says maintenance can be better planned and wear out predictions will become more accurate.
Timed alert intervals are provided to improve inspection scheduling and make the ordering of replacement parts easier. These alerts include a 40 per cent wear alert for possible bushing turns, 70 per cent to signal for measuring and replacement part ordering, and 100 per cent for required replacement.
“The real-time track wear status enables no-touch track link measurements, increases fleet coverage by automating inspections, provides visibility to track wear when operating in remote locations and allows for prioritised timing of service visits by helping optimise manual inspections,” Cat announced.
The small electronic sensor is installed in a customised pocket in the track link for protection. Each link assembly includes a smart link, resulting in two sensors on a machine – one on each side.
Depending on operating conditions, sensor battery life has been estimated to last up to seven years, Cat adds.
CTWS comes standard on new Cat D5, D6 and D8 dozers, and 953 and 963 track loader models in select regions, with plans to expand to dozer models in future. It can also be retrofitted on eligible dozer undercarriages.
The Victorian government is using augmented reality to help relocate underground utilities safely and efficiently at a major road upgrade in suburban Melbourne
Victoria has enlisted the help of augmented reality (AR) in a series of planned road upgrades, starting with a project on Clyde Road in suburban Melbourne.
Commonly used in video games, AR is being used to make the job of relocating underground utilities safer and more efficient, with Victoria’s Big Build saying it can be an essential tool in improving decision making.
Commonly used in video games, AR technology can create 3D models showing where underground services are located, which can be viewed on a smartphone, tablet, or virtual reality headset.
By having a clear, real-time picture of where these utilities are located in real-time, Victoria’s Big Build says AR is reducing the risk of unplanned outages during construction, decreases costs and reduces the need for digging.
“The combination of advanced utility locating techniques, 3D modelling, and real-time AR
Augmented reality is being used on Victoria’s Clyde Road Upgrade. Image: Victoria’s Big Build
integration represents a huge advancement in underground service management, bringing both practical and safety benefits to our projects and the broader community,” Victoria’s Big Build says. Clyde Road is being upgraded between Enterprise Avenue and the Princes Freeway, adding an additional lane in each direction, and upgrading intersections at Clyde Road and Kangan Drive, and Clyde Road and the Princes Freeway. The additional lanes and upgraded intersections will improve safety for all – including those walking on the footpath and cyclists – and reduce the risk of crashes, Victoria’s Big Build says.
Local facilities and streets will be easier to access, and improved traffic flow will lead to more reliable travel times, it adds.
Mecalac has launched its Revotruck dumper, saying that it is the safest and most ergonomic dump truck on the market
Mecalac’s Revotruck combines cab rotation with exceptional offroad capabilities, the company has announced.
Building upon the success of its current dumper range, Mecalac says the Revotruck is the safest and most ergonomic dumper on the market.
Aiming to minimise accidents on construction sites, Mecalac says its research and development team carried out in-depth analysis of worksites and found that visibility, stability and manoeuvrability were key issues.
These identified issues were at the forefront of the creation of the Revotruck, which Mecalac says addresses these challenges.
“We are proud to have created this revolutionary dumper, which embodies our expertise and the group´s innovation,” Mecalac Group chairman Alexandre Marchetta says.
The business says it is the first dumper on the market to feature a rotating cab, including the cockpit, which offers 360-degree visibility and can reduce accidents on a worksite.
Mecalac says its Revotruck is the first dumper to feature a rotating cabin. Image: Mecalac
With four large access points at each corner of the cab, operators can easily get in or out regardless of whatever orientation the cab is in.
It has a switchable steering mode – two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering and crab steering – enabling it to work in confined spaces and with its turning radius halved compared with conventional articulated dumper trucks, Mecalac says.
At the touch of a button, operators can rotate the cabin to see a worksite from all angles, increasing comfort by avoiding back problems where the operator must twist their neck and back to see from different angles.
Two sizes are available for the Revotruck, a six-tonne and a ninetonne model.
The Revotruck has already won five awards, including the prestigious Red Dot Design Awards “Best of the Best”, which Mecalac says the highest accolade in one of the world’s most renowned design competitions.
Perth’s Metronet public transport project is trialling the use of renewable diesel in its heavy machinery to reduce its carbon footprint
In a first for Western Australia’s construction industry, the Metronet Byford Rail Extension project is trialling renewable diesel in its heavy machinery.
Aiming to connect residents from Byford and the wider Serpentine-Jarrahdale area to Perth’s CBD on a 42-minute train journey, Metronet describes the trial as a win for the global goal of a net zero emissions future.
The renewable diesel being used is known as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), and is made from fats, vegetable oils and waste products from the food industry – including restaurants.
In the trial, HVO will replace the regular diesel that Metronet says typically runs four pieces of onsite plant and equipment.
“The project will substitute 23,000 litres of traditional diesel with HVO, which is expected to produce 95 per cent fewer CO2 emissions and less noxious gases, all while delivering the same performance as regular diesel,” Metronet sustainability lead Alita Hancock says.
“Reducing emissions of heavy vehicles, rail freight, mining, agriculture, construction plant and equipment can be challenging and trials such as this aim to demonstrate the role renewable fuels can play in helping to achieve sustainability targets.”
The HVO trial is being run with Curtin University which will undertake studies to understand implications for fuel efficiency, emission reduction and impacts to engines.
Data captured will be provided to the Department of Transport to evaluate the viability of HVO fuel for current and future infrastructure projects. Metronet says it will also help build momentum for the use of HVO fuel in the wider industry once the WA supply is fully available in 2025-26.

Lungs are the new frontier in Australia’s work health safety planning – a report reveals what may be in store
Australian regulators are looking at ways to protect workers from respiratory diseases, including education programs and a safety framework.
Released by Safe Work Australia, the Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) Strategy 2023-2033 spells out a 10 year workplace health and safety plan, endorsed by every Australian state and territory government, unions and industry bodies.
Among the targets are two uniquely focused on respiratory health – no new accelerated silicosis cases and a 20 per cent reduction of work-related respiratory diseases by 2033.
Accelerated silicosis can develop after exposure to moderate to high levels of silica dust over a three to 10 year period. It causes severe shortness of breath and may result in complications including respiratory failure and death.
In Safe Work Australia’s Baseline Report on Targets, released in July this year, the statutory agency said it and WHS regulators were concerned by the rapid re-emergence of accelerated silicosis, particularly among people who work with engineered stone.
“For these workers, silicosis is associated with a shorter duration of exposure to silica, faster disease progression and higher mortality. This is due to the nature of engineered stone and the dust it produces,” the report says.
Today the manufacture, supply, processing and installation of engineered stone is banned, but the new challenge for authorities is ensuring the wellbeing of those working with it into the future.
“This includes a range of communication activities, guidance to support workers and PCBUs in managing changes to engineered stone products, and a national

framework to ensure anyone working with engineered stone products installed prior to the ban can do so safely,” the report says.
Since May this year, doctors across Australia have been required to report new cases of silicosis to a new body, the National Occupational Respiratory Disease Registry (NORDR), run by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care.
“Physicians may also provide voluntary notification of other occupational respiratory diseases to the NORDR to help identify emerging workplace risks,” the report says.
Authorities will also rely on data from health and safety claims to map trends in respiratory diseases contracted while at work.
Broader action is needed to protect workers from dust, vapours and fumes and to cut the rate of other respiratory diseases incurred at work by 20 per cent. Australia would have to reduce the rate from one compensation claim for every 0.04 million hours worked to one for every 0.032 million hours worked to reach the benchmark.
Earlier this year, governments changed workplace exposure standards for welding fumes to a timeweighted average of 1 milligram per cubic metre – cut from the previous average of 5 milligrams per cubic metre – over an eight-hour working day in a five-day week.
Weld Australia recommends local exhaust ventilation systems and personal respiratory protection, such as air purifying respirators or air-fed helmets for welders, as some ways of mitigating workplace risk.
Global recognition for Weld Australia’s training package
A training package developed by welding industry peak body Weld Australia and local TAFEs has been recognised at a global awards showcase.
The Manufacturing and Engineering (MEM) training package of leaning resources, developed to deliver 12 welding and fabrication units of competency, won the Andre Leroy Prize at the 2024 International Institute of Welding (IIW) Awards, handed out in July.
The Prize recognises a contribution to scientific and technical training or teaching of either welding or allied processes, weld quality control, the results of the application of allied processes, or problems raised by the behaviour of materials and welded construction.
Winnng the prize is an honour, Weld Australia CEO Geoff Crittenden says.
“This prestigious recognition highlights our commitment to advancing technical training in the welding and fabrication industry,” he says.
Developing the units was a collaborative effort with the TAFE colleges, he adds, with the TAFE consortium working to develop more engaging, up to date resources regularly.
Entirely available online and able to be completed by phone, the resources have a user-friendly interface, diversified delivery methods and audited and accurate material.
“Our goal was to reimagine the learning process by providing a user-friendly interface and diversified delivery methods that cater to the varied needs of our students,” he says.
“The completely online and accessible nature of the MEM Resources ensures that learning can happen anytime, anywhere, and at a pace that suits each individual,” Crittenden said.
