Muharren Isiker “It’s dusty, heavy and extremely hot – sometimes as much as 50°C (122°F) in the sun. Seawater often sprays up onto the machines when they’re working in the port, which all adds up to heavy wear and tear on the machines over the long term,” he says. He’s got ten articulated haulers and two excavators working in the quarry. For them to work optimally they all have service contracts with the local Volvo dealership Genserv. Every 250 hours Genserv’s team arrives to inspect, service and repair the heavily used machines. “That’s what keeps the machines going for so long. We’re extremely busy here and it’s easy to forget to take care of the machinery. But Genserv keeps an eye on the service intervals for us and really takes care of their machines,” he says. Safety comes first Safety is paramount on the site and the contractors share the need to promote safety in the same way as Volvo has done since it was founded. Everywhere on the site there are safety information boards and all workers are required to wear protective safety equipment. “We have rigorous safety procedures that all workers here must follow. Of all our commitments in this project, safety comes first,” says Muharrem Isiker, mechanical engineer and Project Manager at CCC’s joint venture partner, STFA. Asif Rehaman works tirelessly with his excavator at the port. The sun is starting to set, but it provides little relief and Asif is content despite the demanding work. “It’s dusty, heavy and extremely hot – sometimes as much as 50°C (122°F) in the sun.” “It’s hard work, but I’ve got an Air Conditioning unit in my cab and I’m using a machine that’s durable, comfortable and extremely easy to drive. It’s worse for those working outside,” he laughs.
