Industrial context — who we serve in Tuas

Tuas is Singapore’s heavy-industry frontier and one of our highest-volume collection zones. The cluster runs from the Tuas Checkpoint approach down through Tuas South and Tuas View, and the businesses we service here are concentrated in marine and offshore — shipyards running drydocking and conversion work, offshore fabrication and rig-repair yards, and oil & gas equipment suppliers supporting the basin. Beyond marine, Tuas hosts heavy industrial fabrication, chemical and petrochemical logistics, LME-approved metal warehouses, and the container operations along the Tuas Port build-out. Workshops on Tuas Avenue, Tuas Crescent, Tuas Bay, Tuas South Avenue and Joo Koon Circle West engage us for scheduled clearance; EPC and shutdown contractors use us for turnaround-driven spikes; and LME warehouse operators route outbound parcels through our yard. Because Tuas loads are typically large and heavy, we plan our Tuas runs around lorry cranes and skip bins rather than small pickups.

Typical scrap from Tuas

Tuas scrap skews heavy and marine-grade. A typical week from Tuas includes tonnes of structural steel, bundles of stripped cable, and drums of machining turnings from heavy fabrication.

  • HMS 1 & 2 from shipyard cutting, rig dismantling and offshore module demolition
  • Copper cable, busbar and marine windings from power upgrades and decommissioned vessels
  • Brass marine fittings, valves and bunkering equipment
  • Stainless steel from process piping, tanks and offshore topside modules
  • Aluminium superstructure offcuts, plate trim and marine extrusion
  • Cast iron from marine engines, pump casings and gearboxes
  • Lead ballast, battery and shielding scrap from marine and industrial sources

All non-ferrous loads are weighed and graded against the London Metal Exchange daily rate. For shutdowns and decommissioning jobs we can set up a dedicated industrial scrap programme with skip rotation and scheduled uplifts, or quote per-job for one-off demolition and plant removal.

Pickup logistics and response times for Tuas

Tuas is 10–15 minutes from our 170 Gul Circle yard and sits on our daily truck rotation, so same-day pickup is the standard across the Tuas South, Tuas View, Tuas Crescent and Tuas Avenue belts. For shipyard and fabrication loads that need a lorry crane, skip bin or 20ft container drop, we usually deploy the vehicle in the same working day and collect the next morning. Tuas sites can have stricter access control — shipyard security passes, gate permits, PPE requirements — so we prefer 24 hours of notice where possible so our driver and paperwork are squared away before arrival. Loads that exceed 10 tonnes, or that involve hazardous residues, tanks or gas-freed vessels, are quoted with a site visit first. Commercial pickup is free at qualifying volumes and we pay at the weighbridge either on the spot or on agreed contract terms.

Nearby landmarks and postal codes we serve

We cover the full Tuas industrial belt, roughly postal codes 630000–639999 (Tuas industrial, Tuas South, Tuas Crescent, Tuas Bay, Tuas View) and parts of 640000–640999 (west-of-Tuas / Jurong fringe). Landmarks we regularly collect near include Tuas Checkpoint, Tuas Link MRT, Tuas West Road MRT, Tuas Crescent MRT, Raffles Marina, Tuas Second Link approach, the LME warehouse cluster on Tuas South Avenue, and the Tuas Port construction footprint. Adjacent spokes we also serve include Joo Koon, Jurong and Boon Lay. Drop your postal code into WhatsApp and we’ll confirm your Tuas route.

Frequently asked questions — Tuas

How quickly can you pick up from a Tuas shipyard or fabrication yard?

Same-day is the default for Tuas. We usually dispatch within 1–3 hours of confirmation for standard loads; crane-assisted or skip-bin jobs typically run the next working morning once access, permits and PPE are pre-agreed.

Do you handle offshore rig and vessel decommissioning scrap?

Yes. We regularly buy HMS, non-ferrous and mixed loads from rig dismantling, vessel cuts and offshore module demolition. For anything involving gas-freeing, residues or hazardous shielding we’ll do a site visit and quote with a proper risk plan.

Can you service LME-approved warehouses in Tuas?

Yes — we work with LME warehouse operators on outbound parcels and support documentation. Loads are weighed and graded to LME standards and priced against the daily LME rate.

Do you take marine copper cable and stripped wiring?

Yes. Bare bright, #1, #2 and insulated cable are all priced off the LME copper rate. Shipyard and rig reels are weighed on site and paid at the weighbridge.

Can you arrange skip bins and scheduled uplifts for Tuas yards?

Yes. For yards generating regular tonnage we set up a skip rotation, scheduled uplifts and contract pricing. Talk to us about a tailored industrial scrap programme.
