Firstly, CRS Rotainer® progressed to another Country with a major Canadian Stevedore taking up the first Rotainer® Eurospec 32 for Ships Gear. The location for this particular operation was at Beau Comeau located 500kms North of Quebec City.
After several trips to site by CRS management, the specifications where finalised for Rotainer Euospec 32 fitted with CRS’s ‘Artic Pack’. which allowed our Diesel/Hydraulic system to operate at -20c for continuous periods. This was a Comalco operation and the our Rotorcon® Heavy Duty 1800mm high containers were specified for the project due to the superior design and strength for freezing conditions.
Both the Rotianer® and Rotorcon® container were subject to blizzard conditions during commissioning to prove their operating capability the most extreme weather conditions.
Anther highly successful project for the CRS team.
Secondly, Lend Lease, one of World Largest Construction and Management Companies, faced a problem at the new ‘Star City’ Casino construction project that was about to commence at Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia. At the time of commencement it was the Southern Hemispheres largest constriction project.
To meet financial and development deadlines with a view to bring the construction of this prestigious building to completion on time, Lend Lease undertook a feasibility review on a different approach to,
a) Undersea contaminated sub-soil,
b) Transportation of highly toxic spoil,
c) How to implement their new ‘Buld up – Build Down’ construction methods.
CRS was approached to review a solution with the project consortium. Combined consultation with Lend Lease’s Civil Contractors, CRS offer a solution to develop a specialised underground container loading system. Sealed containers were to be loaded several floors below sea level, elevated to ground level via 2, purpose built, overhead gantry crane structures then transported to an E.P.A, environmentally approved contaminated waste facility.
containers. CRS also developed a new Rotainer® Eurospec 32 specifically for the project to be use on Reach Stacker’s. Over 60 truck loads per day, 6 days per week, for over 18 months saw the completion of these underground works completes on time and within budget.
Furthermore to meet State Government and Road Transport Regulation on “Risk Mitigation’ in the event of a vehicle accident or, in worst case scenario, a truck roll over, CRS developed a new, innovative, container lid locking system that positively locks the lid of an open top container firmly in place.
This project was so successful many environmental and industry awards and accolades were forthcoming, Global interest in this new CRS’s newly patented technology is on the increase with further projects to come on line for CRS in the not too distance future.
CRS is proud of the fact that they are the only supplier in the container rotation industry that could offer Lend Lease such a simple solution for a complexed problem.
CRS was proud to part of this project by offering innovative a solution to such well respect, Globally based, High Profile Construction Company.
