Case Study: BHP achieves rapid equipment delivery with Toll Group

BHP - Customer Case Study

BHP Billiton needed to move 121 tonnes of upgraded copper industrial equipment from South Africa to Adelaide on an urgent timeline after an incident forced the early shutdown of the copper flash smelter at Olympic Dam. They turned to Toll Group for end-to-end transport and logistics support to get the equipment moving as quickly as possible.

Toll Group quickly developed a logistics plan, arranged tariff concession applications to reduce import duty costs, and coordinated two complex shipments using road, commercial air freight, and a dedicated Boeing 747-200 freighter. Toll Group also handled documentation and ground services in Australia, delivering the equipment on time despite severe weather and aircraft maintenance disruptions, which BHP Billiton praised as highly complex but successfully executed.
