The Problem

• A Game Lodge / Hotel was to be constructed in a Game Park on an escarpment in East Africa by a Japanese developer.
• Sanitary ware and other fragile items had to be shipped, transported overland by trailer on unmade roads for several hundred miles and hauled up an escarpment.
• Packing had to be suitable to ensure that all materials arrived on site without damage and without being unloaded from the containers.

The Solution

• All materials were sourced and checked by UBMO
• One way containers were purchased by UBMO
• The containers were lined with polystyrene, fragile materials were packed in polystyrene in polystyrene lined crates which were then securely fixed to the base of the containers.
• Additional items were included in case of damage in transit or on site.

The Result

• All materials were received intact on site apart from one basin which was damaged by site staff when unloading the container.
