Bis secures three-year haulage contract

Logistics company Bis, which traditionally operates in the resources sector, has been awarded a three-year contract by Water Corporation to provide on-road haulage services in and around Perth.

Under the contract, which will start in December, Bis will load and haul processed biosolids from numerous Water Corporation treatment plants to a number of industrial and farming operations for further processing and recycling.

Bis said it would utilise seven innovative road trains developed specifically for the contract, introducing a new level of flexibility and reliability to the handling and movement of biosolids.

Bis chief executive Brad Rogers said the contract highlighted the company’s unique approach to customer-led innovation.

“Bis is thrilled to welcome Water Corporation as an important customer to our haulage solutions business,” he said.

“In addition to the bespoke equipment solution, the contract will also benefit from the latest Bis safety and productivity management systems, including the use of best in class, proprietary cloud based artificial intelligence monitoring systems.”

Mr Rogers said the company’s reputation for safety and reliability were key factors in its contract win.

The announcement comes three months after the company’s haulage and site services contracts for Minara Resources were extended by four years.

In July, Bis said it had delivered a range of services at the Murrin Murrin site in the north-eastern Goldfields since the operation begun in 1998, including haulage and haul and road maintenance services.
