Western Treatment Plant Sludge Pan Renewal
Customer: 
Melbourne Water undertook a significant renewal of a section of its sludge drying pans at the 10,500-hectare Western Treatment Plant (WTP), a facility responsible for treating over half of Melbourne’s wastewater and supporting Melbourne’s sustainable growth. Through recommendation, Lofts were contracted to supply 26,000 tonnes of VicRoads-approved 20mm Class 3, 3% Cement Treated Crushed Concrete (CTCC) within 6.5 weeks for pans 1 and 2. However, after doubling the expected daily volumes and proving our reliable service and swift responsiveness, Melbourne Water entrusted us also to supply pans 3 and 4 and pans 23 and 24. Over three stages, we delivered nearly 80,000 tonnes, maintaining strict quality standards and keeping the project ahead of schedule, cementing our reputation as a trusted partner.

Gas & Fuel Contract
Customer: Gas & Fuel Corporation
From approximately 1982 to 1996, we successfully supplied Gas & Fuel Corporation with essential quarry products under annual contracts. Lofts, alongside other industry players, successfully tendered and secured a portion of these works.
Read More
The contract was structured to ensure a steady supply by awarding it to first, second, and third-choice suppliers. We supplied approximately 40% of the contract quantities in the first year. However, this gradually increased to over 60% in subsequent years due to our commitment to compliance, reliability, integrity, and service.
Deliveries were made to various Gas & Fuel depots across Metropolitan Melbourne, including Tooronga, Essendon, Vermont, Epping, Pasco Vale, and Nunawading depots and directly to street job sites. These sites required the delivery of raw materials such as 20mm Class 2 Crushed Rock, 20mm Class 3 Crushed Rock, 20mm A & B-grade Crushed Rock, A-Grade Bedding Sand, and Topsoil. The average annual volumes were substantial, including approximately 100,000 tonnes of crushed rock, 40,000 tonnes of bedding sand, and 45,000 cubic meters of topsoil. Additionally, the project required the removal of approximately 35,000 cubic meters of spoil from Gas & Fuel depots, which we also facilitated and disposed of at various tip sites around Melbourne.
This was the company’s first large-scale project, setting the standard for the industry’s expectations when working with Lofts.
