A winning combination

BMHA coordinates all supplies and services for projects including design, fabrication, construction and the erection of equipment for FAM machines. BMHA also assists FAM in the preparation and translation of operation and maintenance manuals to fit the particular requirements of clients.

On joint venture projects such as the recent construction of stacker-reclaimers at the Abbot Point coal port expansion, FAM is the principal contractor while BMHA is responsible for providing project management and site supervision.

Prior to developing a relationship with FAM, BMHA had demonstrated experience in the erection, commissioning, operation and maintenance of complex materials handling equipment, including extraction, conveying, loading and unloading, stockpiling, reclaiming, processing and ship loading.
