Whitehall Quarry Plant Upgrade
Whitehall Quarry Plant Upgrade.
Challenge / Objective
The Port initiated a major upgrade to transition the full Fergusson Container Terminal to 4-high stacking, enabling increased yard capacity and operational efficiency. This programme required upgrades to straddle fleets, yard infrastructure, pavements, electrical systems, and operational layouts.
The challenge was delivering a large programme made up of multiple sub-projects within a live 24/7 terminal, with strict constraints around access, safety, equipment availability, and operational continuity.
Our Approach
Ramek acted as a key delivery partner, leading multiple sub-projects within the overall programme and working collaboratively with Operations, Infrastructure, Planning, and Maintenance teams.
Our approach included:
Development of practical, buildable concepts for each sub-project
Detailed staging and sequencing plans ensuring uninterrupted terminal operations
Close coordination with straddle engineering teams for equipment upgrade impacts
Safety-in-Design risk reviews across all infrastructure and equipment interfaces
Daily on-site presence to ensure quality, speed, and real-time issue resolution
Programme-wide alignment of design, construction, and operational requirements
Results / Outcomes
Successful transition to full 4-high capability across Fergusson Terminal
Delivery of multiple sub-projects to high quality and within tight timeframes
Increased yard capacity and improved stack performance
More resilient, future-proof terminal layout supporting long-term growth
Strong alignment between operational needs and infrastructure delivery
Client Testimonial
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Ramek Consulting on the Whitehall Plant Upgrade project. Our team was facing capacity constraints, and we needed someone with the required skills to help us out. Ramek Consulting was able to step in and provide project and contract management support, as well as a capable site engineer to liaise directly with contractors. I was impressed with their process control, technical ability, and especially the ease of day to day interactions. They were able to provide us with the necessary support and expertise to overcome the capacity constraints within our team. Their services were of high quality, and I would definitely recommend them to others who require similar assistance." Engineering Manager, John Tomlinson - Winstone Aggregates
