Description
We were awarded this project for our innovative and economical design proposal. In 2000, CSL International asked engineers to propose a design-build solution to increase the height and reach of the existing shiploader boom. These changes were necessary to accommodate larger ships. Through our innovative design we were able to offer a suitable solution to increase the clearance at the ship's rail and extended the reach of the boom by 2.4 meters at a cost 65% lower than our competitors. We met the client's time constraint by maximizing shop work and keeping operation shutdown to a minimum.
When our customers contact us, they usually have a specific product in mind. With our experience and engineering knowledge we can guarantee our customers will receive a product that will meet or exceed their specifications.
The equipment delivery posed a big challenge since we needed to deliver some heavy and large gear to the airport site without using roads and bridges that were limited to 10 tons. The key to this project was selecting a ship that could come along side the Marginal Wharf close to the airport site and avoid the undersized bridges in the St. George's area. Our Company's 20 years experience in shipping and logistics took the mystery out of the project for the contractor.
