BH Mining & Civil

What BH Mining & Civil does

BH Mining & Civil is a family-owned Australian heavy earthmoving and civil construction contractor founded in May 2009 by Brian Hoare. The company supplies heavy machinery with operators, dry plant hire, and Australia-wide heavy haulage to mining, civil construction, rehabilitation, dam construction, and agricultural clients along the east coast of Australia, with its head office in Alstonville NSW and an operational office in Gladstone QLD.

The company's asset base consists of 50+ owned heavy equipment units spanning 5-120 tonne excavators (including a 45 tonne long reach unit), 50-85 tonne rear dump trucks, 40-tonne articulated dump trucks, Caterpillar D6-D10 dozers, 631-637 scrapers, 14-16 motor graders, 825 compactors, water trucks, service trucks, and 6-18 inch water pumps. Heavy haulage capability is anchored by a 145-tonne rated Volvo Prime Mover paired with a 4x8 Drake Float trailer capable of spreading to 4.6 metres wide, with all permits and insurance arranged end-to-end. Underlying technology is conventional capital equipment rather than any proprietary platform; differentiation rests on fleet breadth, operator expertise, and the founder's three decades of industry relationships. Work Health and Safety is governed by an 11-policy framework covering injury management, fitness for work, drug and alcohol, environmental, and Covid-19 protocols.

Revenue is generated through three streams: crewed project-based heavy earthmoving services (civil, mining, rehabilitation, dam, agriculture); dry plant hire (equipment without operators); and long-distance heavy haulage contracts. The go-to-market is sales-led, direct, and relationship-driven, with the founder and family members (Brian Hoare, Ash Hoare, Hayley Thompson) serving as primary commercial contacts. Named enterprise clients include Rio Tinto, Thiess, Macmahon, McCosker Contracting, Leighton Contractors, Lendlease, Fulton Hogan, BMD, and Nexus across projects in Gladstone, Moranbah, Biloela, Emerald, Toowoomba, Sydney, Penrith, the Hunter Valley, and Melbourne, positioning BH Mining & Civil as a tier-2/3 subcontractor within Australia's mining services and civil construction supply chains.

Direct peers

• Coates Hire: Australia's largest equipment rental provider covering earthmoving, materials handling and access equipment. Directly comparable to BH Mining's plant hire (dry hire) revenue stream, though at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• BGC Contracting: Australian civil and mining contractor delivering bulk earthworks, dam construction and mine infrastructure. Operates a comparable fleet-and-operator service model to BH Mining & Civil and competes for similar mid-tier tenders across the east coast.
• Emeco Holdings: Heavy equipment rental and mining services provider in Australia. Directly overlaps with BH Mining's dry plant hire business and supports mining customers with earthmoving fleets under rental arrangements.
• Bis Industries: Provider of mining services, equipment hire and logistics support across Australian coal, iron ore and gold operations. Overlaps with BH Mining on mining equipment provision and site support services.
• Decmil Group: Australian infrastructure and resources contractor with civil, remote accommodation and renewable energy capabilities. Comparable in delivering civil earthworks and remote-site construction projects across regional Australia.
• Civmec: ASX-listed engineering and construction contractor delivering civil, structural, mechanical and mining services across Australia. Comparable on mining infrastructure and heavy civil scopes, though with broader in-house fabrication capability.
• NRW Holdings: ASX-listed diversified mining and civil contractor providing earthmoving, drill and blast, and equipment hire across Australian resources projects. Closely comparable business model — fleet-based mining/civil services delivered to Tier 1 miners — though at materially larger scale than BH Mining.
• MACA Limited: Mining and civil contractor specializing in load and haul, drill and blast and crushing services for Australian resource clients. Highly comparable on equipment-intensive mining earthworks; now part of Thiess group but historically a direct competitor to BH Mining on mid-tier mining scopes.

Broad incumbents

• Downer EDI: ASX-listed major infrastructure and mining services group with earthmoving, road construction and asset maintenance operations across Australia. Competes with BH Mining on large civil and mining tenders but offers a much broader service portfolio.
