“Mammoet Moves
Alberta! Canada”
2008 witnessed an extraordinary amount of heavy haul moves across Alberta. The three
busiest months were from January to March where thirteen heavy vessels were moved
from Edmonton and surrounding areas to various plant site locations in northern Alberta.
A total of 19,000 kilometers were travelled for these loads. A variety of double-wide road
style configurations were used including bunked configurations with 300 and 500 ton
turn tables. The most high profile of the loads was the TSRU column. The gross transport
weight was approximately 752 tons, transported on 2 x double 10-line roadstyle bunked
Scheuerle trailers with Mammoet hi-frame. Over the year 2008, Mammoet transported
approximately 1,000 loads all varying in size and weight utilizing a fleet of Scheuerle
trailers accompanied by our dedicated fleet of prime movers, drivers, trailer operators,
maintenance fleet and ongoing support system.
Confidence in the
possibilities and
potential of people
What appeals to Mammoet in The
Hunger Project is that the whole strategy
is based on confidence in the possibilities
and potential of people. By investing
in the knowledge and skills of the people
themselves, they are forced into contact
with their own qualities and creativity. In
this way, they think of solutions themselves
at a local level and therefore take
their own development, and that of the
surroundings in which they live, into their
own hands - a principle that Mammoet
also apply in their own organization.
Mammoet agrees fully with this philosophy
and has already been supporting The
Hunger Project since 2005.

New Mammoet Building
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Mammoet moved into their new facility at 12920 – 33rd Street, Edmonton,
Alberta on June 16, 2008. The facility consists of 45 acres of land and a building
with a workshop of 4,185 square meters and 2,790 square meters of office
space. The new facility was built to bring together personnel working out of three
separate buildings and to accommodate the increase of equipment and personnel
and requirement of a larger yard. The building was designed by western Canada’s
Managing Director and COO, Herman Smit. His vision for the new building
was to have as much natural light as possible, a comfortable and healthy work
environment and space in the shop and yard for personnel to perform their jobs
efficiently and safely. In support of Mammoet’s position to offer training to all
employees, a room has been designated for internal training courses for
Mammoet’s Training and Development Program. A small fitness area, open
around the clock was also provided for staff to use, promoting a healthy lifestyle.
