-
In 1939 the brothers had a D8 bulldozer specially imported from the United States. The upgrading and expansion of the bulldozer fleet ensured that Thiess Brothers was able to take on more larger excavation projects. The 104-feet deep Heifer Creek Road cutting between Gatton and Warwick, Queensland, was the deepest in Australia at the time. Using the D8 bulldozer enabled the brothers to complete the job in just six months--Information from acquisitions documentation.
