Requiring over 8,000 construction workers and 80,000 tons of structural steel at a 126-hectare site, this endeavor was Europe’s largest construction project at the time. The organization needed to purchase a large array of construction equipment to build the terminal, and it sought an expert partner to achieve maximum return on these assets after use. ## The Solution The organization selected Liquidity Services to provide ongoing management, valuation, and disposition solutions for its surplus equipment during the three-year construction project. The Liquidity Services team began by working closely with the client to inventory and value all assets. Without an asset register for guidance, Liquidity Services carefully determined which assets were owned by the client and which were owned by contractors. We successfully performed this work within a tight timeframe at a busy construction site. Once assets were no longer needed, we swiftly removed them through redeployment or sale. Liquidity Services redeployed the surplus to other client projects via our [AssetZone®](https://liquidityservices.com/solutions/industrial-solutions/surplus-management?hsLang=en) asset management software or sold it through our [AllSurplus](https://www.allsurplus.com/cranes) (formery GoIndustry DoveBid) online marketplace. Liquidity Services’ speed, asset management expertise, and effective marketing and sales methods enabled us to meet the client’s time-sensitive disposition requirements. ## The Results Through a series of strategic, targeted marketing campaigns, Liquidity Services achieved maximum recovery for the client’s construction surplus. By swiftly redeploying and reselling this surplus, we helped the client maximize cost-effectiveness and efficiency, keeping the new terminal construction on budget and on schedule. ## Related case studies [![](https://liquidityservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20images/LS-HE-DG-Directional-Drilling-Case-Study-cs-hero-o-2.jpg?width=1400&height=1400&name=LS-HE-DG-Directional-Drilling-Case-Study-cs-hero-o-2.jpg) Mining & Large Construction ### Maximizing Heavy Equipment Sales During COVID-19 Pandemic ](https://liquidityservices.com/case-studies/maximizing-heavy-equipment-sales-during-covid-19-pandemic?hsLang=en) [![](https://liquidityservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Natural%20Gas%201.jpg?width=1000&height=1000&name=Natural%20Gas%201.jpg) Mining & Large Construction ### Liquidity Services Creates a Market for Remote Assets, Generating $52 Million in Recovery ](https://liquidityservices.com/case-studies/liquidity-services-creates-a-market-for-remote-assets-generating-52-million-in-recovery?hsLang=en) [![](https://liquidityservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20images/mc_0204_slider.jpg?width=1400&height=1400&name=mc_0204_slider.jpg) Mining & Large Construction ### Liquidity Services Simplifies Complex Asset Identification and Valuation Process for Property Company in Five-Year Partnership ](https://liquidityservices.com/case-studies/liquidity-services-simplifies-complex-asset-identification-and-valuation-process-for-property-company-in-five-year-partnership?hsLang=en) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@id" : "https://liquidityservices.com/#organization", "@type" : "Organization", "address" : { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "US", "addressLocality" : "Bethesda", "addressRegion" : "MD", "postalCode" : "20814", "streetAddress" : "6931 Arlington Road Suite 460" }, "alternateName" : "Liquidity Services", "areaServed" : "Worldwide", "contactPoint" : { "@type" : "ContactPoint", "areaServed" : "Worldwide", "availableLanguage" : [ "English" ], "contactType" : "customer service", "email" : "Info@LiquidityServices.com", "telephone" : "+1-800-310-4604" }, "foundingDate" : "1999", "knowsAbout" : [ "Circular economy marketplace", "Surplus asset management", "Surplus asset disposition", "Asset recovery", "Reverse logistics", "Reverse supply chain", "Retail returns management", "Inventory liquidation", "B2B ecommerce marketplaces", "Government surplus sales", "Industrial equipment remarketing", "Fleet and vehicle asset sales", "Heavy equipment sales", "Biopharmaceutical equipment sales", "Energy equipment sales", "Real estate auctions", "Secondary market sales", "Supply chain value recovery", "Sustainability", "Zero-waste initiatives" ], "logo" : { "@id" : "https://liquidityservices.com/#logo", "@type" : "ImageObject", "contentUrl" : "https://liquidityservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LiquidityServices_December2024/images/logo@2x.webp?width=642&height=362&name=logo@2x.webp", "url" : "https://liquidityservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LiquidityServices_December2024/images/logo@2x.webp?width=642&height=362&name=logo@2x.webp" }, "name" : "Liquidity Services, Inc.", "numberOfEmployees" : { "@type" : "QuantitativeValue", "maxValue" : 999, "minValue" : 500 }, "sameAs" : [ "https://www.linkedin.com/company/liquidity-services-inc", "https://www.facebook.com/LiquidityServices", "https://twitter.com/LiquidityServices" ], "subOrganization" : [ { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "GovDeals", "url" : "https://www.govdeals.com" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "GovDeals Canada", "url" : "https://www.govdeals.ca" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "AllSurplus", "url" : "https://www.allsurplus.com" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "AllSurplus Deals", "url" : "https://deals.allsurplus.com" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Bid4Assets", "url" : "https://www.bid4assets.com" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Sierra Auction", "url" : "https://sierraauction.com" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Secondipity", "url" : "https://secondipity.com" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Liquidation.com", "url" : "https://www.liquidation.com" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Auction.io", "url" : "https://auction.io" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Machinio", "url" : "https://www.machinio.com" }, { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Retail Rush", "url" : "https://www.retailrush.com" } ], "tickerSymbol" : "NASDAQ:LQDT", "url" : "https://liquidityservices.com/" } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@id" : "https://liquidityservices.com/#website", "@type" : "WebSite", "inLanguage" : "en-US", "name" : "Liquidity Services", "publisher" : { "@id" : "https://liquidityservices.com/#organization" }, "url" : "https://liquidityservices.com/" } ```
