HG Leach has developed a barging transport system based in Kopu, south of Thames in the Hauraki Gulf. The barging operation services the Hauraki Gulf Islands, particularly Waiheke and Great Barrier Island to supply aggregate and riprap or armor rock for marine, wharfs and foreshore protection
Even with the barging system in place, road transport will remain essential for the servicing of inland markets. HG Leach takes all possible steps to ensure that the environmental impact of its road fleet is minimised, including:
Backloading ensures that vehicles taking up roadspace are being used effectively, not running empty.
All vehicles leaving the Tirohia Landfill site have their wheels washed to minimise the transfer of dirt and mud.
All road vehicles are subject to a rigorous maintenance schedule that keeps them operating as cleanly, efficiently and safely as possible.
Traffic control methods - including signage, noise and dust monitoring and access control - are implemented at every HG Leach site to ensure the safety of both HG Leach drivers and other road users.
Every HG Leach transport vehicle is driven by a skilled, highly-trained driver with a licence appropriate to the class of vehicle.
Modern, efficient and well-maintained, the HG Leach transport fleet has the right vehicles for a variety of jobs.
