The Soil Conservation Service operates from 37 locations around NSW, providing a range of services specialising in environmental protection, rehabilitation and land management.

It offers a complete range of professional and technical services in erosion and sediment control, soil and water testing, land assessment, water supply, rehabilitation and revegetation techniques.

The service’s conservation earthworks operation is centred primarily in the tablelands and grainbelt of NSW, where farmers are working large, gently sloping lands, Broadbased banks, waterways and farm dams are typical works undertaken.

“Around 75% of our work is for rural landholders, with the balance being environmental works for a range of clients including the catchment management authorities. We are very strongly involved with the environmental rehabilitation of degraded lands, including mine site”.

Soil Conservation Service operates 40 dozers in the D5-D6 class, along with a number of excavators, and is believed to be the largest operator of this sized dozer in the southern hemisphere, if not the world.

It has just leased two new Komatsu D65EX-15 dozers, plus it has a third one on loan.

In addition, it has five other D65EX-12s in its fleet, along with four D53A dozers delivered during 1990 and which have up to 20,000 hours on them – a total of 12 Komatsu equipment dozers in the fleet.

“We are now phasing out these D53A – they are getting on, but they’ve been a pretty reliable tractor over the years – and we hope to replace them with similar size dozers,”

“That smaller size is particularly well suited to our kinds of work.

“Over the years we’ve had a great experience with our D65EX-12 dozers; one is still on lease, and the other four we purchased from Komatsu when they came off lease,”

“The backup and support from Komatsu has been very good; the support and service provided by Michael Edwards, our local representative has been excellent – it’s probably been better than other suppliers.”

In addition to the Komatsu dozers, the Soil Conservation Service  has a PC200-6 and a PC220LC-7.

The PC200 is currently working in the Hunter Valley placing rock and revetment work at Hexham.

The excavator is regularly employed in flood mitigation maintenance works in the Hunter and following the severe recent floods in the region will be occupied for some time on repairs to damaged infrastructure.

The PC220 has been working in our southern region earthworks program, working on farm dams assisting one of our new D65s and general earthwork projects which will include works associated with the Hume Freeway extension, an $800 million RTA alliance project.

Most people think of cars and trucks when they hear the name Volvo, but the company is also one of the larger and faster growing construction machinery suppliers in the world. Indeed, it can be compared to giant companies like Komatsu equipment, Caterpillar and Deere. Volvo’s construction equipment for sales.

That are expected to top $2 billion for the first time, versus sales of $1.9 billion and $1.2 billion. About 23 percent of those sales are generated in North America, while the largest portion of sales (about 60 percent of the total) comes from Europe.

Volvo has always had an excellent reputation in the construction machinery industry. The company is managed from its headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, with production facilities in Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Sweden and the U.S. The North American operations consist of Volvo Construction Equipment North America, Inc., located in Asheville, N.C., and Euclid-Hitachi Heavy Equipment, Inc., in Guelph, Ontario, and Cleveland, Ohio. Volvo Construction Equipment is responsible for the marketing and product support of the company’s business in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Euclid-Hitachi oversees the development and manufacturing of rigid haulers produced in Canada.

Volvo was known as VME. VME was formed, through the combination of the construction equipment divisions of both Clark Equipment and AB Volvo. Clark announced its intention to sell its entire interest in VME, so Volvo management reached an agreement to purchase Clark’s 50 percent interest for $573 million as part of its strategy to concentrate on the automotive and transportation industries. The company, renamed Volvo Construction Equipment, was consolidated June 30, 1995, at which time it became a wholly owned subsidiary of AB Volvo.

Within the rigid hauler business, Volvo has a joint venture with Hitachi – Euclid-Hitachi – of which Volvo owns a 60 percent share. That venture was formed. The company also owns the German company, Zettelmeyer, which became a wholly owned subsidiary.Volvo acquired Groupe Pel-Job, a French manufacturer of mini-excavators for sale and a leading supplier of those machines in Europe.

Volvo is the world’s leading supplier of articulated haulers, and it is a major producer of rigid haulers and wheel loaders. The company also produces hydraulic excavators – a product area it is planning to revamp completely during 1997 – and mini-excavators produced by its Pel-Job subsidiary.44 percent of the articulated dump trucks manufactured in the world rolled out of Volvo factories. It’s nearest competitor, Caterpillar equipment, accounted for about 25 percent of the market.

The wheel loader product line has always been a mainstay for Volvo. Again, the company is a leader in this market, accounting for 10 percent of total industry production and sales annually. Caterpillar and Komatsu, the leaders in wheel loaders, together represent 40 percent of the world market, followed by Volvo in third position. In the North American market for wheel loaders, Volvo accounts for about 11 percent of the market.

A heavy equipment operator works with heavy machinery like front-end loaders, cranes, compact equipment, backhoes, excavators, track hoes, bulldozers, forklifts, graders, powered shovels, sweepers, graders, rollers, trenchers, power shovels, solid waste collection vehicle and similar equipment.

There are excellent job opportunities in this field, since the need for such workers is going to increase because despite certain mitigating factors, like improving technology, which would reduce the need for manpower, there would still be a demand-supply gap on account of the increasing population and business growth. Infrastructure needs are expected to increase at a rapid pace. This will require roads, schools, hospitals and offices to be constructed. In order to cater to this growth, more and more equipment will be required, needing the services of specially trained operators. According to the current trend, this demand is going to grow rapidly and the many skilled people in this field will either retire or leave the field in favor of other occupations.

Most heavy equipment operators are engaged in the construction industry. The construction of railroads, bridges, buildings and highways requires heavy construction equipment. Along with the need for personnel in the private industries, there are employment opportunities in the state and local governments also. The earnings for a heavy equipment operator vary according to the type of equipment that he operates and the industry that he is employed in.

On the basis of the type of heavy eauipment they operate, heavy equipment operators are categorized as: (a) Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators, (b) paving, surfacing and tamping equipment operators and© pile driver operators.

For the last category of heavy equipment operators, the pile driver operators, the median hourly earnings were $21.29. Some earned between $15.50 and $30.23. Ten percent earned more than $34.04, while ten percent earned less than $11.78.

If the operator is employed in a metropolitan area, the earnings are definitely higher. The place and kind of work are the factors that determine the amount of remuneration.

Heavy equipments also known as Engineering vehicles construction equipment, earth movers, heavy equipment or just plain equipment, are machines, specifically designed to execute civil engineering and construction engineering tasks.Many heavy machinery and light machinery are required for a construction business. They are a crucial part for running a construction business. Heavy machinery consists of cranes, loaders, excavator etc.

Each member of heavy construction equipment plays an important role in the project. For   example, as far as groundwork is concerned, heavy rollers are used. Heavy rollers set up the project and then find the base. They are then used to raise and drag tons of stones and iron from one place to another.

A skid loader is a small loader utilizing four wheels with hydraulic drive that directs power to either, or both, sides of the vehicle. Loaders are mainly used for uploading materials into trucks, laying pipe, clearing rubble, removing snow and digging. A loader is not the most efficient machine for digging as it cannot dig below the level of its wheels, like a backhoe can In construction worksites loaders are also used to transport building materials – such as bricks, pipe, metal bars, and digging tools – over short distances. Hence skip loader is an important equipment and can be purchased on sale from various dealers.

Cranes:

A crane is a tower equipped with pulleys and cables for lowering and lifting materials. The cranes used in construction industry are sometimes temporary structures. There are many types of cranes from the all terrain hydraulic crane, to the boom truck. A boom truck is a piece of construction equipment that can be used to haul the material as well as move the crane about while hydraulic cranes tend to need a trailer and then roll off to be placed on the ground. These types of cranes can  rotate up to  360 degrees being expensive in nature  buying used cranes could be an profitable bet.

Daewoo equipments are pioneer in construction equipment, lift trucks, skid steer loaders & mini-excavators.
