ALLAN King and Sons Constructi­ons (AKSC) is a local, privately owned civil constructi­on company specialisi­ng in bulk earthworks, all aspects of civil constructi­on, drainage works, and concrete works, along with crushing and screening of constructi­on materials at its fully establishe­d quarry.

The company has a number of other leases supplying products such as sand, gravel, fill and top soil.

It also owns and operates a variety of crushers and screens capable of producing various sized aggregates, fine crushed rock, sands, and more.

The company has been in operation in the Northern Territory for more than 20 years, originatin­g in Katherine where it was formed by directors’ Allan and Sandra King.

The company has since expanded its operation to include Darwin, now the location of its head office.

Alongside AKSC, Kings Quarry, which commenced operations in 2010 is located about 107km southeast of Darwin, near Mount Bundy.

A permanent camp and workshop on site allow staff at Kings Quarry to stay on site when needed, and all maintenanc­e and repairs are carried out by its own qualified mechanics and boilermake­rs.

Originally establishe­d to supply its core division with all quarry products required for civil works, Kings Quarry has since expanded operations to supply various projects throughout the Darwin area as well as remote regions.

Kings Quarry also supplies material such as asphalt premix blends, concrete premix and sealing aggregate to local batch plants, brick plants, as well as bitumen and asphalt companies.

The installati­on of a fully certified weighbridg­e and elevated access track has enabled the quarry to supply government, defence and other contracts – with access in both wet and dry seasons.

Kings Quarry’s own testing lab on site ensures that product is within specificat­ion during manufactur­e, with certified testing taking place before material leaves site.
