End-to-end management of surplus materials in Las Palmas

Facing the logistical challenge of moving a stockpile of materials off-site with no local presence, our client turned to rigtubulars for a swift solution. 

1,000 metric tonnes of material moved within 3 days

Export vessel secured with all paperwork ready

First direct purchase completed with no delays or LTIs

This project showcased rigtubulars’ ability to independently deliver fast, compliant and logistically complex solutions. The standout successes of this project included: 

  • The successful movement of approximately 1,000 metric tonnes of material from storage within just three days.
  • Securing a suitable vessel to export the material, with all documentation prepared in advance to avoid delays.
  • Coordinating and completing due diligence on all local service partners prior to work commencing. 
  • The first direct purchase from this client - delivered without any delays or lost time incidents (LTIs)

Client brief: 

The client needed a dependable partner to manage and remove a large stockpile of unused well project materials. These had been left in limbo since the project was cancelled during COVID-19, incurring unnecessary storage costs and oversight challenges.

The challenge: 

The materials were stored in Gran Canaria, far from the client’s base of operations. Without a local representative, it faced growing challenges in managing the stock, assessing its condition and arranging an efficient removal. 

Why rigtubulars? 

With deep regional knowledge and a proven track record in materials management, rigtubulars emerged as the most commercially viable and operationally capable partner. Our ability to take full ownership, from on-site assessments to international shipping, gave the client peace of mind that the job would be done right and fast.

Our solution: 

Once the contract was awarded, we wasted no time. Our team conducted on-the-ground assessments, managed all due diligence, coordinated logistics and oversaw the complete material transfer. This included storage extraction and vessel loadout, without the client having to allocate internal resources.

The outcome: 

rigtubulars delivered the entire project from start to finish in under two weeks. The client avoided unnecessary storage costs, internal resource drain, and logistical complications, benefiting from a seamless, risk-free material exit strategy executed with full compliance and no lost time incidents.
