A true joint effort – 74 ton Francis runner



Hansa Meyer offices in Hamburg, Santos and Houston were awarded the transport of 1 Francis Runner from Santos, Brazil to Hydro Quebec’s Centrale Des Cedres in Les Cedres, QB. The Francis Runner measured 18’1” L x 18’1” W x 11’10” H and weighed 74 tons. It was shipped by liner service from Santos to Philadelphia, PA, and then trucked in bond to destination. The Francis turbine runner is part of the Les Cedres generating station rehab project.

Challenges:
Sourcing a tractor/trailer combination capable of not only making permits in 2 countries but also able to access the power plant’s gantry crane for offloading.
