Mitchell Dean Earthmoving Dean Earthmoving Limited has grown hugely since starting less than a year ago on the back of the experience of director Mitchell Dean and his team. From one man and a digger the company now employs three crews totalling nine sta and has expanded its plant. “Everything we do is to make things easier for our clients,” says Mitchell commenting on the company’s signi icant growth. Mitchell started his career on the ground for a smaller earthmoving company in Dannevirke many years ago before progressing to larger and bulk earthworks including road realignments. Most recently he was a Downer project engineer before starting Dean Earthmoving. Dean Earthmoving o ers a wide variety of earthworks and civil works services including earthworks, road construction, trenching, laying stormwater, building retaining walls, rock armouring and structural works. Mitchell says there is a lot of demand in the region for civil works and roadworks due to the wet winter, which has resulted in multiple lood damage incidents. Based in Dannevirke Dean Earthmoving has the equipment to do the job. It has a small workshop and is in the process of building a larger new workshop to accommodate growth. The company owns its own leet of new trucks, diggers, rollers and graders meaning clients can have security in the reliable modern plant. Mitchell says he is fortunate to have an extremely skilled team including a quali ied tra ic management crew. Using his experience in civil management, Mitchell has the systems in place to make things easy for clients and is well versed in main contractor requirements. He manages the jobs himself and Dean Earthmoving delivers detailed quality assurance and health and safety reporting to the client to make things on their side of the job easier. Tararua Alliance is a big client and Dean Earthmoving has been working hard for them on various projects. At the moment it is undertaking a drainage and pavement rehabilitation project on one of the main arterial links out of Dannevirke for Tararua Alliance where rain has caused a slip and pushed the road up into a hump. Another project that has been completed was road realignment at Akitio, one of the coastal beaches where one of the roads dropped away. “There were two issues on that job – an in bend starting to move and another part had dropped away. We cut all the hill back, reshaped the road and did a bench and ill in another area dropping away and realigned it with the ill material. We worked with iwi to transplant native plants from the cut area to another,” explains Mitchell. When a culvert blew out on another main route the team at Dean Earthmoving benched it out, installed a bigger concrete culvert and constructed a rock spillway to prevent further issues. At Pahiatua a concrete wall on a back street was pushing out into a creek. Tararua Alliance installed sheet pilings to retain the road and footpath then Dean Earthmoving came in and dug out the back, reconstructed the drainage and rebuilt the footpath and road. This included cutting and removing the old concrete wall near the creek, working in with the client’s team to ensure environmental controls were met. Mitchell says that he will continue the growth trajectory of Dean Earthmoving and is excited to see what the future has in store.
