Challenge

At its peak, the project was running 64 road trains and carrying around 600 pipes per day between the main stockpile at Port Alma to the various Right of Ways along the pipeline.

In the initial tender, we were not successful, but we were approached to rectify an under-performing global forwarder. Over the following 4 years lifespan of the project, TGI Cargo met the client’s demanding freight transportation expectations. In fact, TGI Cargo successfully expedited the project three months ahead of schedule with accurate planning and management of the approximately 52,000 lengths of pipe from laydown to stockpiles.

We then handled stockpile to right of way delivery, seeing the pipes safely to their final resting place fit for installation. That pipeline now transports gas from the northwestern gas fields across 560km from the Arcadia Valley QLD to the gas processing facility in Curtis Island, Gladstone QLD.
