Delegates gathered after the Sunday outing and travelled to APC’s current manufacturing centre at Aldinga Beach. Upon arrival delegates were provided with an excellent spread of local food and wine, including Frank’s home made salami to rejuvenate them after the trip.

Frank introduced his team and then provided a tour of his facilities covering a number of new developments that APC has been working on during the last year.

Also discussed was the versatility of the systems offered by APC and how they are able to tailor solutions for customers needs.

Frank explained that he was proud that they could provide for small, highly mobile operations as well as larger, longer term operations. In all cases, APC is able to shift camps in a very short period of time and have them up and running with a minimum of fuss.

The visit gave those on the tour an excellent opportunity to discuss their requirements with Frank and Gino who are always keen to listen to industry feedback as to how they can improve their range further.

Delegates were also shown a large kitchen and mess that was undergoing refurbishment after having been in the field. Frank explained that camps were refurbished completely after returning from jobs to ensure that they not only contained the most up-to-date modifications and developments but also to ensure that they were guaranteed fit for service for the period that they would next be away for.

One of the most important things, Frank explained, was the ability of their camps to be ready and running after they are unloaded to the ground. Quick connections to water and power are enabled by Kamlock “easy connectors” for water and WAGO Connectors for electrical connections meaning that the set-up is just a matter of minutes.

Frank concluded the visit by seeing off delegates with some much needed supplies for the trip back to Adelaide, which were warmly welcomed. Frank finished by saying that he “was proud to have been given the chance to have shown members of the industry how we are leading the way in having the very best camp a facilities in the field.”
