Immediate results in the Pier 2 straddle carrier workshop

Bird proofing at the Transnet Pier 2 straddle-carrier workshop, by BCS Bird Control Services

The challenge

The straddle carrier workshop is where the port's container-handling machines are maintained, and birds roosting in its three sections created constant mess affecting both employees and machinery. Transnet had tried multiple solutions over the years; the problem persisted and kept disrupting operations.

Our approach

Under contract, BCS provided and installed Vamoose Bird Repellent Gel across all three sections of the straddle workshop, meeting the stipulated time frames and working to the port's contractor requirements throughout.

The result

In the client's words, the results were immediate and exceeded expectations: the birds are no longer an issue and the workshop is clean and operational, after years of failed attempts with other methods.

“The results were immediate and exceeded our expectations. Thanks to their expertise, the birds are no longer an issue, and our warehouse is now clean and operational.”
