The company, which has been in business since 1985, carries out a full range of civil construction works – including land development and road construction – along with mine servicing and infrastructure works throughout Western Australia.
It operates as far north as Halls Creek, south to Pinjarra and east to the Goldfields region around Kalgoorlie.
According to managing director Craig Patterson, the company has owned and operated Komatsu equipment for about seven years.
Its equipment includes one WA600-6, a WA470-6, two PC300s – one Dash 6 and one Dash 7, a P200-7 and PC270-7, two GD555A-3 graders and three WA250PT-5 toolcarriers.
Two of the toolcarriers are in underground applications, while one is being used in civil works on subdivision projects. The two underground ones are on long-term contracts, replacing another brand of Toolcarrier.
"We went for Komatsu in the first place, because we felt the investment offered us a better return on our capital," Craig said.
"Since then, we’ve grown very confident in the relationship and found a growing confidence in the support Komatsu offers us, which we most definitely keenly regard.
"Today we’re doing more in-depth justification when choosing our equipment; we put in all the relevant data, allowing us to do very detailed comparisons," he said.
"We only request information off the suppliers that we are sure can give us the best-possible levels of support and service. Based on these comparisons, we fully justified our decision to go with Komatsu."
Craig’s confidence in the Komatsu product has been boosted by a factory tour to Japan he took in November 2006.
"I was very impressed in everyone’s pride in their workmanship and the strong quality focus," he said. "It was a very very streamlined operation, and the amount of quality checking all the way along the assembly lines and the set up was outstanding.
"It gave me a lot of confidence in what was behind the Komatsu brand.
"I also found the people at the Komatsu factories were very keen to hear feedback from end users to help them improve the product.
"I was very impressed with what I saw; they were as committed as we were to putting out the best product they possibly could," said Craig.
