At FWS, we pride ourselves on being your trusted partner for effective material handling solutions. Our specialty? Working with clients to ensure their conveyors transport materials smoothly over long distances, whether across kilometers or an entire site. Here is the lowdown on what makes us stand out:

Single Point of Contact

We can be your one-stop shop for overland conveyor systems. We are a design-builder, which means we can handle everything from design and engineering to procurement and construction. Traditional overland conveyor projects often involve multiple tenders for design, supply and construction, leading to cost and schedule uncertainties. At FWS, we streamline this process by managing all aspects under one roof.

Additionally, we are not tied to any specific conveyor original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Our strong relationships with various OEMs enable us to leverage their strengths while ensuring our clients receive the best solutions tailored to their needs.

Early Involvement In Project Planning

We typically engage with clients during the feasibility or front-end engineering design (FEED) stages. Our early involvement, combined with our knowledge of design and construction, enables us to determine the most optimal route and technology. This ensures we can make the best selections transparently, providing owners with a clear understanding of costs and schedules before construction begins.

Sustainable Material Handling

Overland conveyor systems are not only efficient but also contribute to a sustainable environment by eliminating the need for trucks or trains. They can significantly lower the carbon footprint of material transport operations, offering a greener alternative to conventional transportation methods. We can assist clients in assessing the feasibility and ROI of transitioning from truck-based operations to conveyor systems, considering factors like carbon credits and long-term cost savings.

If you are considering an overland conveyor system for your operations, contact us. We are here to provide comprehensive support, offering expertise and solutions to address your project’s challenges and goals.
