Timaru — Fraser road Blue Stone Quarry.
Who Rooney Earthmoving are
Rooney Earthmoving is a long‑standing New Zealand civil contractor covering earthmoving, irrigation, pipe and cable laying, cartage and transport. They operate across Waimate, Ashburton, Christchurch, Timaru and Oamaru with a staff of roughly 200. The group began in 1976 when Gary Rooney started with a single bulldozer in Waimate — very South Canterbury beginnings for a company that’s grown into a recognised name.

Proof in the field:
- Screen media that lasts: Greystone Screening & Crushing switched to heavy-duty punch plates on aFinlay 883+ top deck to stop mech failures — cutting downtime and replacement costs.
- Dozer undercarriage done right: Alex Mason Contracting’s Komatsu D65EX-15 received a full undercariage replacement to handle abrasive riverbed work in Caterbury.
Why this matters on hard rock
- Predictable wear enables planned maintenance instead of mid-shift surprises.
- Right parts, fitted right shortens stoppages and keeps production steady.
- Local stock + support means fewer “machine down, crew waiting” moments.
