EARTHMOVING TUGUN
Tugun is the Gold Coast's southernmost beachside suburb — a tight residential grid near the airport with a strong knockdown-rebuild market and growing demand for backyard pool work. Sollid Solutions services Tugun for pool excavation, site cuts, slab prep and tipper haulage.
LOCAL GROUND CONDITIONS — TUGUN
Tugun is predominantly coastal sand over reactive clay, with the water table sitting close to the surface on lower blocks toward the creek. Rock is uncommon — access and dewatering are the typical challenges.

ACCESS CHALLENGES — TUGUN
We always plan the access before the machine arrives — the most common things we work around on Tugun 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
