Saltire Infrastructure was engaged to perform asset condition assessments on a pipeline in an isolated section of regional Western Australia. With temperatures climbing above 38°C and no nearby amenities, maintaining welfare and compliance across multiple access points was a major logistical challenge.

Client: Saltire Infrastructure

The Challenge

The project required the crew to relocate several times throughout the day to inspect sections of pipeline spread across a wide area. Extreme heat, lack of shade, and difficult vehicle access meant traditional welfare setups were impractical. Each move needed to be completed quickly to maintain productivity while keeping workers safe and hydrated under WA’s heat-stress management requirements.

The Solution

MacroVan provided a fully self-contained welfare van that travelled with the crew, ready for use at each new location within minutes. The van offered:

• Air-conditioned rest area to manage heat exposure
• Clean toilet and handwashing station meeting WHS hygiene standards
• Kitchenette with cold storage for water and meals
• Power supply and charging ports for tools and devices

Its compact size and mobility allowed the team to set up safely off-road at each new access point without disrupting work or requiring additional facilities.minimal community disruption while keeping crews protected.

The Outcome

• Continuous compliance with heat and welfare standards across multiple sites
  Reduced travel and setup time between inspection points
• Improved worker wellbeing and productivity despite harsh conditions
• No need for separate welfare trailers or temporary shelters

By providing a mobile, all-in-one welfare solution, MacroVan kept crews safe, cool, and compliant even in the most remote and demanding environments. Its mobility and reliability make it ideal for multi-site or remote operations where conditions can change throughout the day.
