Complex Transload and Beach Landing - Aug 2014

For Hansa Meyer US it wasn't just another day at the beach.  The team was challenged with managing the transport of four 200+ ton transformers.  Arriving in Newark, NJ after a voyage from Antwerp the first transload was made to a hopper barge.  Due to the complicated route and size restrictions, the transformers were then transferred to 2 deck barges for transport to Seabrook, NH.  At Seabrook a 140' bridge was erected for the roll off.  Finally HMGT placed the transformers at location.  A complex but very successful solution executed flawlessly.  Enjoy a brief video and pictures of this great project.  Your comments and feedback are welcomed.
