64 Point Lisas Industrial Port Development Corporation Limited Handbook Monumental tasks need a monumental company

With a passion for service, Paramount was solidly anchored from the roots of Joseph Lutchmansingh in 1945. The Paramount group, first secured their place in the energy sector in 1967 by assisting with the construction of a desulfurization plant for Texaco Trinidad, and have since maintained a frontline presence building on experience gained by the demands of the highest standards known worldwide. The Paramount name is now reinforced with an employee base of over 500 committed individuals who can celebrate three generations of best practice, refinement and evolution. Through the years our clients have pushed the boundaries and Paramount have stepped up each and every time to deliver with exceeded expectation - size and volume are part of our daily routine. Through heavy lift equipment rated in excess of 700 tonnes, heavy haul capabilities beyond one kiloton and loads over 200 ft in length, we have been known to draw a crowd while executing an impressive array of well planned lifts, twists and turns. Paramount’s value is not defined by lifting/moving a load within the parameters of our equipment; it is our ability to execute without incident, safely and as planned. Paramount’s potential is enabled through the technical skill of our workforce, providing customised solutions to the dynamic business needs of our clients. The Paramount influence in the construction industry includes the successful partnering of our own ready mix concrete plants Advance Readymix Limited) with our quarry under the name of Vega Minerals Limited. Our passion for refinement brings with it new, cutting edge equipment, which has enabled us to offer our clients a truly superior product, resulting in an ever expanding market footprint. n CONTAINER TRANSPORT n TRANSPORTATION OF BREAk BULk CARgO n TURNkEy PROJECT CARgO HANdLINg n PROJECT WAREHOUSINg ANd MATERIAL HANdLINg n CRANE ANd EqUIPMENT RENTAL n HEAVy HAUL/HEAVy LIFT SERVICES n TRANSPORTATION, LIFTINg ANd RIggINg ENgINEERINg n CUSTOM BROkERAgE n EqUIPMENT SALES ANd SUPPORT FOR: Link-Belt Cranes, Volvo Construction Equipment, Pettibone Traverslift Equipment, RaycoWylie Load Moment Indicator and JLg Aerial Work Platforms n AUTHORIzEd RENAULT TRUCk SERVICE CENTRE THE PARAMOUNT Transport & Trading Company Limited
