Between 2023 and 2024, Western Australia received approximately 20% of the entire national infrastructure budget, to develop key projects such as the modernisation of the Tonkin Highway in Perth and the expansion of the port of Fremantle.
The Western Australian Government has set aside a budget of more than AUD 10 billion for infrastructure projects for 2024 and 2025, which will help drive the development of strategic projects in the area.
Sarens has strengthened its crane offering, especially in taxi services with capacities of up to 300 tons, with the aim of providing a rapid and efficient response to its customers, eliminating the time required for assembly and disassembly of machinery.
The civil engineering construction sector will be particularly important for the Australian economy this year. One of the areas with the highest level of activity in this regard will be Western Australia, a region that already experienced significant growth of 3.5% in 2024 and will continue on its growth path this year, with an estimated 2.5% growth according to data from Master Builders Australia.
In fact, Western Australia has already attracted a significant amount of public investment over the last two years, with approximately 20% of the national budget dedicated to infrastructure, according to a report by Infrastructure Australia. Projects such as the modernisation of the Tonkin Highway in Perth, the expansion of the port of Fremantle and the government's METRONET project, which will add new lines and stations to Perth's transport infrastructure, have directly contributed to maintaining and increasing construction activity in the region.
In this context, Sarens, the world leader in heavy lifting, engineered transport and crane rental services, has strengthened its crane offering at its Perth depot, particularly to enable it to carry out a greater number of crane taxi services, with units with a capacity of up to 350 tons. With this reinforcement of its offering, Sarens seeks to respond quickly and efficiently to the needs of its customers in one of the most active areas in terms of construction, guaranteeing the almost immediate availability of machinery at the required location, without the need to spend days or even weeks on assembly and disassembly.
Sarens' Crane Division, based in Perth, currently has more than 40 different crane units, with capacities ranging from 20 tons for Franna crane models to all-terrain cranes with capacities of up to 300 tons more than 1,500 worldwide that can be deployed to any location if the scale or duration of the project so requires.
Demand for specialised heavy lifting services is expected to continue growing at the same pace as construction, especially considering that the Western Australian Government has set aside a budget of more than AUD 10 billion for infrastructure projects in its 2024 and 2025 budget. The completion of key stages in the development of METRONET, the development of new projects focused on the expansion of renewable energy in the area, as well as various port infrastructure improvement measures will continue to contribute to the growth of the sector.
Sarens has extensive experience in the development of projects of strategic importance for Australia. It has participated in the Botany Rail between Mascot and Botany duplication works carried out by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), or in the construction of the expansion of the Cockburn Cement plant in Kwinana, among others.
