September 2009 saw Liquip Aviation pass a significant health and safety milestone, clocking up 2 years without a Lost Time Injury.
With a solid safety culture embedded within the Liquip and IES businesses, more and more safety milestones are being achieved. General Managers of each division presented plaques to their respective teams to commemorate the event and bears the names of all the employees who contributed to the achievement.
Liquip recently delivered 8 articulated refuellers to the Royal Australian Air Force. The 4 compartment 30KL tankers are being deployed at various bases across Australia and supply fuel directly into military aircraft via a twin reel twin meter delivery system which is mounted beneath the belly of the tank to minimise the overall vehicle length. 380 HP Scania prime movers complete the vehicle and are a welcome addition to the RAAF fleet.
