About Tully
River floodplain surrounded by steep ranges. Australia's wettest town -- Tully averages around 4,000mm of rain annually, with over 7,900mm recorded in 1950. Heavy alluvial clay soils from the Tully River. Flat terrain prone to extensive flooding during major rain events.
Small regional town with standard residential blocks. Surrounding sugarcane farms and banana plantations. Some larger rural properties towards Murray Upper and Cardwell. The town services the agricultural industry and has a practical, working character.
Common earthworks challenges in Tully
Water. Everything in Tully revolves around managing extreme rainfall. Driveways wash out, yards flood, drainage systems overwhelm, and properties need constant maintenance to manage the volume of water. Cane farm infrastructure -- driveways, culverts, drainage channels -- needs regular repair after each wet season.
Driveway Repair in Tully
Tully driveways need to handle more water than almost anywhere in Australia. Standard gravel-and-grade won't cut it -- driveways here need proper table drains, cross-drains, and elevated profiles to survive 4,000mm of annual rainfall. We build driveways that work in Australia's wettest town.
Post Holes in Tully
Cane farm fencing and residential boundaries. The alluvial soil is easy to drill but saturated for months of the year -- posts need deeper seating and concrete backfill to stay put in soil that's essentially mud for half the year.
Trenching in Tully
Drainage, drainage, drainage. Tully properties need serious stormwater management. We trench for agricultural drains, diversion channels, and stormwater systems that can handle the extreme volumes.
Stump Removal in Tully
Sugarcane land being converted and storm-damaged trees. The perpetually wet soil actually makes stump extraction easier -- saturated ground releases root systems more readily than dry ground.
