CRUSHING & SCREENING
Delivery of crushing and screening contract of 1.7million tones of road building materials to main roads specification or a Great Northern Highway overpass, encompassing the supply of a range of equipment. We mobilised to a remote location in the Pilbara using our internal transport division encompassing multiple quad floats and drop decks. This project required detailed Traffic Management Plans as it required vehicles and trucks to be entering and exiting Main Roads. Our operators are multiskilled to operate our entire fleet and hold traffic management qualifications though our award-winning training division.
Safety was our main focus, as the pit was congested with mobile plant interaction, so our HSE Coordinator spent considerable time on site ensuring the CRAW, SWI, SWMS and JHA were followed and executed to our high standard. Our management team aspires to visibly see what is written in all safety documentation and ensure it is delivered on site on a daily basis. This project was so remote we had no phone coverage and the site office needed to run of star link.
Our supervisors on this project have considerable experience working in remote conditions and the additional mental health responsibility that goes with this to ensure we manage our workforce efficiently.

FMG PROJECT
We have recently sent an industrial clean-up crew to one of our clients, this has included the hire of 3 skid steers, we have worked closely with the client to ensure their needs are met. This is a challenging job as traditional skid steers are too large for the tight access, another challenge our client was facing was constant flat tyres on the machines. We managed to source two new small tracked skid steers as well as offering our full mechanical services to our client. We are also supplying 6 people on a rolling roster to operate our machinery as well as labourers.
We managed to provide what our client wanted in a short timeframe considering all the challenges associated with this market.

Gnowangerup Shoulder Widening
The Shire of Gnowangerup called for a low cost approach to widen the existing seal width from 3.3m to 3.6m and provide a 1m sealed shoulder as well as install an Audible Edge line.
To be low cost the methodology they requested was to utilise the existing material on the shoulders, bring it up with the grader and only use a minimal amount of top up materials.
This was a particular challenge due to the existing road not being uniform and there being wheel ruts where we had to marry the seal in, as well as the amount of import material being restricted.
However we got the job done in a safe and timely fashion achieving our goal for the project of zero incidents.
Project Value $900,000.00
