About
Cornwall Council awarded a contract to M And M Plant for the emergency hire of heavy plant and machinery to support the Greenspot waste fire incident in Falmouth.
The contract, valued at AUD 50,000, involved the provision of 2 dozers, 2 dumpers, and 1 21-ton swing shovel with skilled operators.
The equipment was required to separate, cool, and remove burning materials from an estimated 30,000 tons on site, aiming to extinguish the fire and reduce smoke affecting the local community.
Due to the urgent operational nature and exhaustion of local authority register options, a direct approach was made to a local provider.
The plant was used for a sustained 3-week period to bring the fire under control.
