What is wet hire in civil construction?
Wet hire refers to hiring plant equipment along with a qualified operator. This ensures that the machine is used correctly and efficiently, which helps maintain job site safety and productivity.
Wet hire is common in civil construction as it reduces the client’s liability and saves time on training or hiring separate personnel. It’s ideal for short-term jobs or specialised equipment use where skill and compliance are critical.
How often is plant equipment serviced on civil sites?
Plant equipment used in civil construction is typically serviced on a strict schedule — often after a set number of operational hours or before deployment to a new site. Pre-start checks are carried out daily, while major servicing follows manufacturer and site-specific guidelines.
Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, ensures safety and extends the life of each machine. Well-kept equipment is a sign of a professional, reliable operation.
What kind of licences are required to operate plant equipment?
Operators are generally required to hold an NT white card (construction induction training) along with specific licences or tickets for each type of plant, such as excavator, roller or grader.
Additional requirements may include VOCs (Verification of Competency), HR licences for heavy vehicles or site inductions. Hiring through wet hire services ensures all licensing and compliance is already taken care of.
