DE BRUYNS DEVONPORT

Driving logistics forward

Needs + challenges

De Bruyn’s Transport services the mining logistics, aquaculture, heavy general freight and bulk goods sectors. A family-owned company founded in 1965, it has grown to become one of the largest logistics providers in Tasmania, operating 150 heavy vehicles and 300 trailers. The company needed new state-of-the-art facilities to support its expanding operations, including:

  • A spacious and versatile workshop to handle heavy machinery.
  • A 5-tonne crane to assist with lifting equipment that couldn’t be moved manually.
  • A tailored wash bay, fuel station and warehouses for cool and dry storage.
  • An ice making facility.
  • A durable, high-quality construction.

The challenge was delivering a purpose-built facility quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption to their busy operations.

Success made simple

Working with Bison Constructions proved to be a seamless process for De Bruyn’s Transport, who said it was “an amazing achievement and a very speedy process”.

Key features included:

  • Custom crane installation: The 5-tonne crane was a critical addition to the workshop, enabling staff to safely and efficiently move heavy machinery.
  • Fast delivery: The entire build process was completed with remarkable efficiency, keeping the project on time and on budget.

Exceptional build quality: Strong, durable and ready to withstand heavy operations and any weather conditions.

The results

  • Smooth transition: Consolidated multiple smaller premises into twin, purpose-built facilities – boosting operational efficiency.
  • Stronger brand presence: Visually striking structures clad in De Bruyn’s signature green.
  • Optimised site layout: Spacious design allows for easy access and manoeuvrability for De Bruyn’s large fleet.
  • Custom-designed spaces: Tailored facilities cater for every part of the business, from storage to distribution and vehicle maintenance.
  • Time-saving automation: The automated truck wash keeps the fleet looking good in less time.

    “The communication was amazing: they were clear and straightforward and made the process really smooth. The quality is phenomenal [and] we know that this build is going to last a lifetime.”
