Peter Campbell started earthmoving in the late 1980’s and operated initially out of Walgett, New South Wales. Peter is a qualified Caterpillar Diesel mechanic and worked as a Fitter for Caterpillar dealerships for many years before commencing his own contracting business with the purchase of a single 657B scraper.
Working initially in the agricultural sector under the Company, Peter Campbell Earthmoving (PCE), the business slowly expanded the range of work it carried out and its operations grew to incorporate all forms of earthmoving construction including but not limited to:
- Civil construction
- Roadworks
- Major Irrigation works (channels/levies/dams/Field leveling)
- Poultry Farm infra structure earthworks
- Feedlot earthworks
- Pre‐strip open cut mining
- Mine rehabilitation
- Land clearing
- Major river diversions
- Tailings dams / Lined evaporation ponds
- Subdivisions
- Sewerage Ponds
- Major dam walls including HDPE linings
Peter was one of the first contractors to successfully operate a 623 scraper in an underground environment as part of a road maintenance program:
In an effort to keep the business as focused as possible, Peter Campbell managed the growth of the business carefully to ensure that he only hired out the best, late model, earthmoving equipment available in the industry, and employed the most efficient, qualified operators. We continue this practice today and pride ourselves on our ability to initiate projects quickly and with a modern scraper fleet can comfortably move up to 40,000m3 of material per day on bulk projects.
