Our business philosophy is aimed solely at being solution focused. We pride ourselves on fast effective solutions for our customers.
Purpose
The purpose for our business is to eliminate countless unnecessary truck movements back and forth to quarries, approx 55kms away. We propose to eliminate up to 75% of truck movements required per 28 tonnes of material. At Gap and Fill Ltd our goal is to do this at 25% of the carbon footprint required to move the equivalent amount of product under the current model.
Plan
Our plan is an efficient transfer hub for materials used in earthworks. Trucks to unload and be reloaded safely and quickly to create a more sustainable building process through transport efficiencies.
Trucks will travel within the city limits to unload approx 10 tonnes of spoil into a contained area. The same truck will move through to be reloaded with their chosen aggregate or sand. Trucks will then be driven through our wash bay, out under the load scan arm and back to their site. Effectively eliminating 45min of travel per 10 tonne load.
Our Truck and trailer units will then be loaded with 28 tonnes from the spoil containment area, travel through our truck wash bay and head directly to the Quarries. It will unload the 28 tonnes of spoil and be reloaded with 28 tonnes of the required aggregate for this particular trip.
The truck and trailer unit upon return will then reload the bunkers with the particular aggregate required. Travel again behind the spoil bunker for reloading.
Effectively each trip with our truck and trailer unit will eliminate an additional 3 truck.
