Helping NCPA California with another green power generation project….2 transformers

Hansa Meyer China and Houston handled the transport of two transformers from Shanghai, China to the NCPA LEC project in Lodi, CA. The 230 MVA unit measured 26’1” L x 10’8” W x 14’3” H and weighed 131 tons. The 180 MVA transformer measured 22’5” L x 9’8” W x 14’1” H with a weight of 89 tons. The shipment arrived at the PHA Turning Basin facility, where both transformers were loaded direct to railcars. From the Stockton, CA rail siding delivery to the construction site was arranged by truck. Both transformers were successfully crane set to their temporary foundations. Due to a tight delivery schedule, both railcars were “live” monitored using our GPS tracking devices.

The 280 MW LEC project is a uniquely clean combined cycle power project due for start-up at the end of 2012.

Challenges:
Tight delivery schedule
