With 20 years of experience under our belt, our expert team and state-of-the-art equipment, we're ready to tackle any project that comes our way.

Durkin Construction has been in the game for 20 years now and what a ride it has been! From the early days of working on infrastructure projects in the Philippines to the recent light rail projects in Sydney and Parramatta, we have been on the job of some of the most iconic sites in Australia like the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and Anzac Bridge.

Today marks 20 years of Durkin Construction and we're feeling pretty chuffed about it. Our courageous leaders, Sean and Jane Durkin, established the company on 1 May 2003, and let us tell you, it has been one heck of a journey!

The Northern Beaches B-Line Project was an initiative from Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to enhance transport options and reduce traffic congestion along Sydney’s northern peninsula into the Sydney CBD. It was designed to encourage public use of nine active transport nodes, including integrated walkways, cycling tracks and high frequency, high capacity rapid-transit bus services from Mona Vale into the city.

In February 2017, Sydney experienced a major storm incident, which saw a month’s worth of rain (nearly 50mm) fall in just one hour. This resulted in flash flooding and extensive damage across the city.

The Anzac Bridge was severely impacted, with four of the five lanes on the Western Distributor, approaching Victoria Road and City West Link, closed. Approach ramps were also jammed, causing major delays. While Eastbound lanes remained open, traffic in that direction was still badly affected.

The water level on the bridge was up to 300mm and the bridge had to be closed for several hours, in order to drain. Once reopened, traffic still moved extremely slowly, causing major delays.

To assist the University of Sydney with the planning and construction of new laboratories, Durkin conducted a Utility Drainage and Topography Survey, concurrently with the LIDAR scans on the existing building.

To reduce the risk to your crew, your project timeline and budget, your reputation and that of your company, Sean Durkin recommends investing in a service that employs all available techniques for subsurface locating.

Despite a range of challenges including COVID restrictions on our Paddington heritage site project, we delivered outputs earlier than expected, within budget, and made a bonus discovery to benefit the client.

Why is it important to invest in pavement investigation before the construction of new roads or rehabilitation treatment?
