GAC took care of the transportation of 15,000 metric tons of concrete sleepers, intersection, steel girder and other essential parts and equipment to a variety of sites along the track between Galle and Matara.
'We are proud to be involved in this major project. It was a challenging task, but we have been able to prove that our logistics team has a solid teamwork and is well-experienced. We are optimist to continue our support in the second phase next month,' said Preethilal Fernando, Managing Director of GAC Sri Lanka.
A dedicated team of GAC staff has coordinated the delivery of the heavy parts in more than 500 containers shipped over from India, arranging their transportation, de-stuffing and stacking. The importation of material is expected to be completed by end of October 2010.
