CASE STUDIES

Welcome to the Papua New Guinean jungle.

We were tasked with moving a fleet of bulldozers from a remote location in the Papua New Guinea highlands, through jungles, ports and red tape to a customer in Brisbane, Australia.

With dilapidated bridges and decaying road infrastructure, the decision was made to disassemble the fleet before transportation to ensure safety. The challenge was that organising such an operation in a very remote area, with a lack of available resources and labour, was difficult to say the least.

However, it was a challenge that we were up to meeting. Labour, electricity, and resources were promptly organised and the machines were efficiently disassembled and loaded for transportation through the remote jungle.

We worked with native tribes to negotiate the passage of the machines through their lands and the convoy arrived safely at port, but the challenges didn’t stop there.

The machinery had to meet Australian quarantine cleanliness standards before being reassembled and loaded onto the ship, so we had to organise labour, electricity and clean water at an under-resourced port in remote PNG.

The fleet of fully assembled bulldozers arrived safely in Brisbane, passed quarantine and were delivered on-time and on-budget to another very happy customer.

A story of sun and ice (and 340 tonnes of cargo).

We were asked to move seventeen 20T dump truck trays from sunny Brisbane to Savage River in remote Tasmania.

The trays were custom-manufactured by an Australian company in Brisbane, but such was the size of the load that we had to organise an in land diversion to avoid bridge height and road restrictions in the metropolitan area.

The trays were loaded and positioned into a charter vessel by ships cranes and safety stowed. On arrival to Tasmania they were transferred onto a convoy of seventeen low loader floats with dimensions of 12m x 9m x 6m. The convoy needed to travel at a careful 40km per hour for more than ten hours along remote and icy roads in the middle of winter to reach their destination at the Savage River Mine Site.

We worked with National Parks and Wildlife as the convoy had to move between two national parks in a world heritage-listed area. The utmost care was taken to ensure that no footprint was left on the environment during the transfer.

The convoy arrived on-time to deliver all 340 tonnes of cargo safely to its destination.

Slashing through intercontinental red tape.

We needed to deliver 30 Catapillar 777D Dump Trucks from a mine in central Chile, to a customer in Townsville, North Queensland.

Chile is renowned for its stringent controls and extensive red tape, so we anticipated and understood the export formalities and paperwork ahead of time to ensure a smooth and efficient transfer process.

After transporting the machinery from central Chile to port on the Pacific Ocean, the notoriously difficult customs process was made simple and easy with  foresight.

Not to be out-done, Australia’s own customs and quarantine process is also particularly stringent given the isolated nature of the ecosystem. We worked between both sets of government organisations to make sure all the necessary requirements were met and exceeded.

After 16 days of direct sailing across the largest mass of water in the world, the machines were unloaded and delivered in Townsville earlier than scheduled.
