  • How does Vernice approach large airstrip construction projects?

    Vernice has a long history of constructing quality airstrips with precision and ease. In 2014 Vernice constructed a large airstrip for Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest. We used our extensive fleet of graders, scrapers and articulated dump trucks to complete this project on time and on budget. This was a project that was customised to our client’s requirements, with consideration for the size of the aircrafts. 


    Our team have years of experience in constructing airstrips and we prioritise communication with the client to ensure customer satisfaction. Once work begins we put an emphasis on safety, with a full risk assessment of the worksite completed to ensure the site is safe for all. We will never cut corners when completing a job. For Vernice, the safest method is always the correct method.

  • Can Vernice complete wind farm construction and maintenance?

    Vernice recently finished the Badgingarra wind farm project in Western Australia. For this project, we constructed the bases to 42 winder turbines and created a series of access roads. Working alongside Catcon, this project was successfully executed to a high standard. We used a range of plant for this job, including loaders, excavators, graders, water trucks, drum and pad foot rollers, scrapers, dozers and road train side tippers. We will continue to maintain this wind farm project into the future.

Agricultural FAQs

  • What is firebreak construction?

    Firebreak construction is a method used to slow down the spread of an uncontrolled wildfire by providing a barrier of cleared land. Firebreaks are typically constructed by removing highly flammable vegetation, thinning the forest canopy, and digging trenches or constructing fire walls. Firebreaks can also be constructed by plowing, removing vegetation, and creating water barriers such as ponds or canals. Learn more here.

  • What are tree removal services?

    Tree removal is the process of cutting down trees, cutting them down to stumps and removing stumps, and disposing of the cut trees and stumps. Tree removal is done to clear land for development, remove hazardous trees, or to make room for new plantings. In some cases, land is cleared and left to natural regrowth or it is replanted with more desirable trees. Learn more here.

  • What are fence line services?

    Fence line services are professional services related to the construction, repair, and maintenance of fences. They include installation of fence posts, replacement of damaged fencing, painting and staining fences, mending or repairing broken fencing, and putting up new fence boards. Additionally, these services may include trimming shrubs and trees near the fence line, replacing broken rails, and post-hole digging. Learn more here.

  • What is gravel pushing?

    Gravel pushing is a process of filling in the gaps between fence posts with gravel. It is an inexpensive way to prevent erosion and add to the stability of the fence. It also keeps animals from digging under the fence or kicking loose dirt or mud into the bottom of the fence. The gravel should be used along roadsides and around gated areas to keep vegetation and soil from eroding away. Learn more here.

  • What is Contour backfilling?

    Contour backfilling is a technique that is used during the contouring process to fill in any remaining flat or low-lying areas between contours. It is used to create a smooth transition between different contours and to make the image more visually appealing, while also conveying all of the data accurately. Learn more here.

  • What is Stockpiling for gravel and limestone?

    Stockpiling for gravel and limestone is the storing of material in a specified area, which has been extracted from a quarry or mine, for later use in construction projects or other uses. This stockpiling process involves excavating, transporting and storing the material in such a way that it can be easily accessed and used in the future. This method of stockpiling is beneficial because it allows the material to be available when it is needed instead of having to go through the process of sourcing it each time. Learn more here.
