Raz Az Zawr Port EPC Project: Joints on Trucks

In GPLN Member News on October 19, 2008 at 4:17 pm

This work was part of an ongoing one year contract for Wilhelmsen Ships Service (Barwil) Saudi Arabia to be the nominated logistics partner for China Harbour Engineering Company Limited for the construction of the harbor at the Raz Az Zawr Port EPC Project. Raz Az Zawr is located 350 kilometers outside of the DammamPort and this particular shipment consisted of 50 trailers of pipe casings and tools. This is a considerable project requiring time sensitive customs clearance and delivery on an ongoing basis for multiple containers and break-bulk shipments where the consequences for delayed delivery are severe.

Bellville Rodair Energy Team using tower adapters on a wind energy project in western Hungary

In GPLN Member News on October 15, 2008 at 11:39 am

Origin: Chrudim,Czech Republic
Destination: Mosonszolnok, Hungary

Biggest oversize dimensions: 24.4 meters long / 57 tons / 4.04 meters diameter

Bellville Rodair Energy Team (BRET) is currently working on several future projects that can only be shipped using tower adapters, due to the very tight road turns that the tower sections must take in order to reach their final site.

As an alternative to drop deck and vessel deck trailers, recently some truck producers have designed tower adapters that are coupled directly to the tower sections. Thus, the truck has no need for deck at all, with the tower section acting as a connecting beam between the truck modules. The tower adapters in turn are coupled to the truck’s heavy-duty modules (for the return trip, the two tower adapters are bolted together to form a multi-axle unit).
