HRSG 4 Modules Project
PPL has successfully transported and launched 4 modules of the HRSG project from Dong Xuyen port to Shipyard port.
Goals & Scope of Work
- Project Name: Load-out Load-in HRSG Modules
- Work: Transportation and launching of 4 modules
- Weight per package: Approximately 600 tons
- Dimensions per package: 17m x 8.6m x 25m
- Route: Dong Xuyen Port - Shipyard Port
- Transportation time: December 24, 2021 - December 30, 2021
Key Challenges
Despite extremely challenging climatic conditions and obstacles, all four modules were transported safely to their destination, further demonstrating PPL's capabilities in logistics in general, and especially in the field of oversized and overweight cargo.
Solutions & Deployment
To transport and ensure the absolute safety of the four modules, PPL experts and staff meticulously planned and calculated technical parameters, and most importantly, monitored the water level to balance the barge with the outside water level during the launching of the cargo.
Initially, PPL had to work with parties such as the machine manufacturer and maritime surveyors to conduct surveys and utilize the SPMT self-propelled hydraulic trailer.
The use of the SPMT self-propelled hydraulic trailer to move the modules from the dock to the barge, arranging them in the correct order, and then back from the barge to the dock, proceeded smoothly, ensuring safety and adherence to schedule.
In addition, PPL installed equipment to monitor weather conditions and tidal levels at both Dong Xuyen Port and Shipyard to proactively assess sea levels during the operation.
Results & Effectiveness
Through the projects that PPL has undertaken, it can increasingly affirm its position and capabilities in the field of logistics for oversized and overweight cargo.
