Continuing Update - Gas Plant Construction Project

Hansa Meyer Global Transport's Houston Team has had a very busy summer managing the heavy hauls and barges for a gas plant construction project in US.  Scroll down through the blog site to find several related articles.  The hard work is paying off as barge number 1 made the landing this week after a river journey of nearly 2,000 miles. With the barge site secure and the bridges in place, the equipment roll-off is underway.  In the meantime, barges 2 & 3 have been loaded and have launched as well.

After nearly 2,000 miles the first of 3 barges pushes its way to the landing.

First piece to roll-off at the barge site that Hansa Meyer was commissioned to improve and make ready.

Roll-off from the barge site will continue for approximately three days.

The sequencing, scheduling and delivery of the equipment was tightly controlled by the team as many of the pieces were transported directly under hook for immediate positioning within plant.  With barge number 1 on site and getting unloaded, barge numbers 2 & 3 are not far behind.  Having only days between landings, the loading and departures on the following barges had to well planned and executed.

Every piece of equipment has had hours of transport engineering and planning before being loaded
