The story of leading demolition, earthworks and shoring civil contractor, AKA, started more than three decades ago when founders, husband and wife team Antoun and Katia Antoun, decided to purchase a single tipper truck.
Thirty-three years later, the family’s values of respect, honesty and integrity—along with their passion, hard work and determination, has built strong relationships and a rock-solid reputation, leading to the company’s sustained growth and success.
"We are now a leading supplier of demolition, soil remediation, excavation & transport services across New South Wales," AKA Civil director Michael Antoun said.
"We offer a complete service for all earthworks requirements, from site clearing, site preparation, remediation, bulk extraction, loading to cartage and disposal, AKA’s broad fleet of excavators—ranging from eight to 55 tonnes in size—allow AKA to service any size project effectively and efficiently."
Along with being the proud owners of one of the largest excavators and hydraulic hammers on the market, with 9000kpa breaking capacity, AKA’s arsenal also includes a diamond blade and tungsten rock saw, allowing excavations in rock with minimal disturbance to neighbouring structures while providing aesthetically pleasing basement wall finishes.
AKA has equipped all machines with sound reduction devices, rollover protection systems reverse cameras and auto greasing systems.
Over the last 33 years, AKA’s extraction methodologies and associated planning allow the delivery of projects to occur safely, on time and within budget.
"We've worked on a range of ground conditions and on sites with different work constraints and as such has developed a wealth of knowledge in the best work practices in consideration of safety, production and budget," Antoun said.
AKA has built a reputation for effective and innovative environmental solutions. The group has an outstanding capacity to complete large-scale site clearance projects economically.
With the support of qualified environment consultants, AKA has successfully implemented in-situ and off-site remediation processes involving the treatment of contaminated soil, capping of landfills and reinstatement of the site including backfilling, compaction, drainage and stabilisation.
"An important factor for us is the continued implementation of advanced technologies through investment into administrative software, modern heavy vehicle and plant operation equipment and communication devices, which has continually improved productivity, efficiency, customer satisfaction and, most importantly, safety on the roads and in the workplace.
"AKA strongly believes in the health and safety of all employees and the importance of providing a safe work environment for all employees: it is our policy is to ensure that every employee regularly undergoes the necessary training and is aware of their safety responsibilities in the workplace."
