The Challenge

Major infrastructure contractors required flexible, reliable plant hire solutions to maintain project momentum during peak activity periods and respond to evolving program requirements. The client needed immediate access to a diverse equipment fleet with skilled operators who could integrate seamlessly into existing delivery teams without disrupting established workflows. Equipment reliability was critical to avoid costly downtime, while operator expertise needed to meet Tier 1 project standards and safety requirements. The project demanded flexible resourcing including standby equipment availability, shift coverage across extended work periods, and surge capacity to respond to unexpected program acceleration or changing site conditions requiring additional civil construction resources.

Our Solution

We mobilised our comprehensive fleet of 32 plant equipment pieces, selecting graders, excavators, trucks and compactors specifically suited to the project requirements. Our experienced operators underwent site-specific inductions and integrated directly into the client’s delivery teams, adapting quickly to established procedures and communication protocols. We implemented flexible deployment arrangements including standby equipment positioned for rapid mobilisation, shift coverage ensuring continuous equipment availability across extended work periods, and surge capacity reserves ready to respond to program peaks. Our preventative maintenance program ensured maximum equipment reliability, while our responsive management approach enabled quick adaptation to evolving project needs and changing site conditions throughout the contract.

The Result

CIC Civil’s plant hire services successfully supported achievement of all project productivity targets across multiple construction phases, contributing directly to overall program success. Our equipment maintained exceptional reliability with minimal downtime, while our operators’ expertise and professional integration earned specific client commendation. The flexibility of our service delivery model proved invaluable in responding to program changes, with standby and surge capacity enabling rapid response to evolving requirements. This successful engagement demonstrated our capability to provide comprehensive plant hire solutions that seamlessly support major infrastructure projects, combining equipment reliability, operator expertise and operational flexibility to deliver exceptional value for Tier 1 contractors and contribute meaningfully to project success.
