KALMAR:
Making Your
Every Move Count
Based in Finland, Kalmar offers a comprehensive range of cargo handling solutions to
port facilities, terminals, distribution centres and heavy industry. Manufacturers of
equipment used to handle shipping containers such as quay side cranes, yard cranes,
shuttle and straddle carriers, reach-stackers, terminal tractors and empty container handlers,
Kalmar is a global forerunner in terminal automation and energy efficiency.
The Challenge:
As part of the new DP World Brisbane Terminal
Redevelopment worth $250M, Kalmar bid to design,
construct, install and commission 14 Automated Stacking
Cranes and supply 14 Shuttle Carriers. The bid was
successful. Charged with the task of delivering the highly
technical project, Kalmar needed to secure the expertise of
a quality electrical contractor that could handle the diverse
skillset required for such a project.
Two electrical contracting companies were shortlisted,
but it was the attributes of one company such as value for
money, capabilities, professionalism and the ability to trust
the contractors’ commitment to deliver on contractual
obligations, that would play a major role in deciding who
would help Kalmar deliver their project successfully.

The Solution:
The Result:
In June 2013, Brimar were announced as Kalmar’s electrical
contractor, and with that said, the job began. Brimar quickly
identified the critical path for the installation for both the
access control equipment and the automatic stacking
cranes. Working closely with Kalmar and their international
engineers, Brimar provided a team consisting of Project
Managers, Supervisors, Automation Technicians, Electricians
and Apprentices. An engineering audit in China by Brimar
amid-production of the automatic stacking cranes identified
that whilst the cranes met European Standards, they did not
meet Australian Standards. Site & Project Delivery Manager
for Kalmar, Mr Steven Wilson said: “Brimar were instrumental
in bringing the e-houses of the cranes up to Australian
Standards. Working with Kalmar and certified engineers,
Brimar were able to retrofit the requirements and keep the
project on track.”
On Thursday, 6th February 2014 DP World put out a media
release advising that the redevelopment had ‘Gone Live’
and the $250M investment positioned the Port of Brisbane
at the forefront of global practice. In the media release
Paul Scurrah, DP World Australia MD & CEO said: “The
new development will provide excellent customer service
as a result of higher waterside productivity, more consistent
operational performance and additional pickup and delivery
flexibility.”
In partnership with Kalmar, Brimar had delivered
to expectation and completed the installation and
commissioning of the Automatic Stacking Crane system.
“Brimar is a good Aussie company with integrity.
There was simply no nonsense.”
