Harris Crossing Development
"Nothing but positive feedback for the Townsville Earthmoving team! We worked with TEM on a remote project in outback QLD over a 4 month period in what was some quite challenging circumstances.

The team worked directly with our site based employees collaboratively to achieve results. Together coming up with solutions to a unique situation and continually looked to improve the work method and site controls and they worked well with us to minimise costs where practical.

The employment of contractors in the area was also very positive to the local community. We would absolutely look to use TEM for any future works; a professional and experienced business."
