The Hawkesbury Police Area Command has established a crime scene and initiated an investigation.
The entire construction site was cordoned off by many patrol vehicles and investigators in plain clothes.
Monday morning, a forensics team was working behind the cordoned-off area.
SafeWork NSW was also notified and their own investigation has begun.
The construction site is said to be utilized by a transportation and dredging company (pictured)
