Project Challenge

RTL Transport were engaged to transport an oversized major component for one of the AGL Loy Yang Dredger’s as part of a major outage. The item transported was the bucket wheel from one of the mine dredgers. The dimensions of the constructed bucket wheel posed a number of challenges throughout the planning stage that seen the transport business work collaboratives with with a number of Government departments and our Client.

RTL's Approach

The planning and execution of this project involved extensive risk assessments as part of the route planning and permit process.
