International oil and gas services company ASCO Group has continued its recent success in the Australian market by winning a major contract to transport waste generated by the oil and gas industry for Toxfree Solutions.
Delivered through ASCO subsidiary Bonnie Rock Transport, the contract requires the pickup of oil and gas generated waste at the Toxfree depot in Karratha and transport to Perth using double and triple road trains, prior to distribution to appropriate recycling and waste facilities throughout the metropolitan area.
ASCO Australasia CEO Matt Thomas said the long-term contract underpinned ASCO’s organic growth strategy since the company acquired Perth-based Bonnie Rock Transport in May 2014.
“Toxfree is one of Australia's leading integrated waste management and industrial service providers,” Thomas said.
“For ASCO, this is an important win and a great boost to the Bonnie Rock business.”
Thomas said the success demonstrates the benefits of ASCO’s international experience combining with Bonnie Rock Transport’s local skills set to deliver a customer-focused service to the client.
Bonnie Rock Transport General Manager Ron Currie said the team had hit the ground running to clear a large shipment of waste from Toxfree’s Karratha facility.
“We were able to mobilise quickly to get the job done safely,” Currie said.
The Toxfree contract win follows the recent announcement by ASCO that it had been awarded management of BP’s Adelaide supply base for the planned Great Australian Bight drilling program.
In addition, ASCO subsidiary Brisbane-based Oniqua, a global leader in MRO materials management optimisation for asset-intensive industries, has been named by CIO Review magazine as one of the 20 Most Promising Oil and Gas Technology Solution Providers.
