EARTHMOVING SURFERS PARADISE
Surfers Paradise is the Gold Coast's central beachside hub — a mix of high-rise basements, low-rise apartment renovations, retail fit-outs and the residential streets behind the strip. Sollid Solutions handles the access-restricted excavation, slab prep and rubbish work the area's tight CBD layout demands.
LOCAL GROUND CONDITIONS — SURFERS PARADISE
Surfers Paradise sits on coastal sand over reactive clay, with a shallow water table close to the canals and beach. Dewatering and shoring are standard considerations on any dig below 1.5m.

ACCESS CHALLENGES — SURFERS PARADISE
We always plan the access before the machine arrives — the most common things we work around on Surfers Paradise jobs are:
- Narrow side gates (900mm–1.0m is common)
- Established hedges, decks and pavers to protect on the way in
- Kerb-side parking limits for tipper turn-around
- Overhead power lines on older streets restricting tip lift
