ECS recently completed rig mobilisation and demobilisation between Moomba SA and Pt Campbell VIC of the powerful Ensign 965 drill rig. As a company we pride ourselves on our attention to detailed planning and the ability to accurately and safely deliver these plans infield.
This job required route inspections, authority approvals and load scheduling of road trains, single oversized, towable overmass and heavy haulage trailers in correct order of arrival and in line with council road curfews. Adhering to strictly controlled OHSE procedures upon the tight operational area of a live gas plant also provided an added challenge.
All up the total project saw 185 loads moved over combined round kilometre count of 280,000km - sum total across all involved vehicles.
To the delight of our client we delivered under budget!
