42 | TDM Transport Group T T Bernadette Cooney Safety protocols the priority TDM stands out by prioritising stringent safety protocols. “Our trucking fleet is specifically designed and modified in-house to handle such specialised projects.” TRANSPORT Expert handling of challenging transportation projects and an unrivalled commitment to safety are the hallmarks of leading specialist transport provider, TDM Transport Group, headquartered in Matangi, east of Hamilton. TDM tackles transport tasks that other firms may struggle with, delivering custom solutions for the movement of oversized and over-dimensional structures, including frame and truss products, modular homes, portacoms, water tanks, vehicles and anything else that is proving tricky to transport, says TDM Transport business development manager, Julian Nanayakkara. “We place high emphasis on safety at all times,” says Julian, “and that’s safety for our team, our customers and the public.” In an industry perceived as high-risk, TDM stands out by prioritising stringent safety protocols. This involves everything from equipping drivers with the correct safety gear to following rigorous, site-specific safety guidelines. “We collaborate with industry bodies and share best practices to help improve safety standards across the transport sector.” Their dedication is evident in their enviable low level of major incidents during five years of operation. Julian credits the company’s strong safety culture to ongoing training and innovation. TDM doesn’t rest on established safety methods – they constantly seek new, more effective ways to ensure safe operations, working as a transport specialisation partner for purposes nationwide, with depots in Taupo and Christchurch. TDM’s ability to innovate is another defining feature, says owner Trent Montgomery, who cites a recent trucking job that required moving buildings from Auckland to Rotorua. “We mapped out the correct route, but the project had a unique complication – its proximity to Auckland Airport meant that crane height was restricted due to air traffic regulations,” says Trent. Instead of allowing these restrictions to delay the project, TDM custom-manufactured spreader bars, which provided leverage that met the required height limitations. The result? The project was completed on time with limited use of cranes, and the client was thrilled with the innovative solution. “Our trucking fleet is specifically designed and modified in-house to handle such specialised projects,” says operations manager Anthony Blackmore. “We innovate to problem solve and have a very experienced team of drivers, pilots, crane operators and a diverse, broadly skilled management team.” TDM has the workshop and expertise to tackle complex hauls. Every job is managed with precision and care, exemplified in a recent project, which required them to build a road through an Auckland golf course, over a small stream and a bridge. “We project planned to make it happen and we returned the natural environment back to normal,” says Anthony. With a flawless safety record and a commitment to solving complex logistical challenges, TDM Transport is a trusted partner for organisations that need more than just standard transport services. They customise each job to meet the unique needs of each client across a diverse range of industries from construction to healthcare and everything in between. “We’ve even moved Porsche race cars between Hampton Downs and Queenstown,” says Julian. TDM Transport’s dedication to safety, innovation, and customised per project-based solutions sets them apart as a leading specialist transport provider across New Zealand.
