Oversized Cargo Delivery for Café & Sports Club Renovation

Building a world-class café and sports club takes more than ambition—it requires overcoming logistical challenges as dynamic as the spaces it aims to create.
The Challenge at a Glance

The project came with complex logistical challenges, from navigating narrow alleys and restricted cargo lift access to managing heavy materials that couldn’t be handled manually.
The cargo’s size and weight necessitated a 150-ton mobile crane, far larger than standard lorry cranes. Adding to the complexity, the operation had to be completed within a two-night window to minimize disruption and costs.
Strict safety compliance under Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) required road closure permits and the submission of detailed lifting and safety plans to ensure smooth and secure execution.
The Ninja Solution
To address these complexities, we executed a multi-phase logistics plan, combining precision planning, regulatory compliance, and specialized equipment to ensure seamless delivery and installation.

1. Pre-Project Planning
- Conducted an extensive site survey to measure alley dimensions, identify parking zones for the crane, and assess height clearances.
- Secured LTA road closure permits for designated dates and coordinated all safety requirements in advance.
2. Coordinated Shipment and Storage
- Managed the shipment to Singapore, ensuring timely customs clearance.
- Arranged temporary storage at a warehouse, including container unstuffing and prompt returns to avoid unnecessary charges.
3. Traffic and Site Management
- Set up roadblock signage and deployed certified traffic controllers to manage vehicle and pedestrian flow safely.
- Aligned all site operations with LTA-approved timings (10 PM to 5 AM), ensuring zero disruption during peak hours.
4. Specialized Crane Operations
- Deployed a 150-ton mobile crane, strategically positioned to safely lift and deliver oversized cargo to the site.
- Submitted detailed lifting and drawing plans to ensure full compliance with safety standards and eliminate operational risks.
The Result

The client’s vision was achieved with all oversized cargo delivered and installed on time for their renovations. Through precise coordination, specialized handling, and strict compliance, the project was executed with minimal disruption.
Key Outcomes:
- Safe delivery and installation of oversized cargo in a high-traffic urban environment.
- Full compliance with LTA safety standards and road closure regulations.
