Toll Group has announced the grand opening of it new fuels site in Port Hedland, Western Australia.
The new 22,000-square-metre facility provides the fleet with a stronger footprint in the region to support future growth.
It also features enhanced facilities such as a four-bay workshop, 20-metre underground service bay and upgraded driver and office facilities.
Toll Group Regional Manager West – Fuels & Gases – Resources and Industrials, Clinton Davey, said the fuels site gives the company a stronger footprint to support future growth.
“This new facility really establishes a new footprint for Toll in the greater Port Hedland region,” he said.
“We have our existing contracts and customers that we service from the region currently, but we’re really set up for future growth here.”
The facility is being used to service around 18 of the fleet’s tanker combinations – 12 of which are operating on the coast and the remaining six in its site-based operations.
“We are operating in some pretty harsh conditions out of Port Hedland in the sites that we service,” Davey said.
“A lot of it’s unsealed and we are coming out of wet season now.”
Davey said the Toll team took immense pride in celebrating the opening.
“It’s been quite a journey over the last three years from identifying this particular location and using the site and getting the most out of the site going forward,” he said.
“The team are really proud.
“We’re getting some really good feedback and they’re enjoying using the facility so far, so it’s really promising in terms of not only recognising the current staff working for us but giving us some improved opportunity with the trucking people moving forward as well.”
