Final Set to Pad with 500-ton Hydra-Slide

Some of you read our blog earlier this year about Hansa Meyer moving two reactors from Asia to Texas. Picking up where we left off, Hansa Meyer was back on site to move the reactor to its final pad location. Weighing 186,512 lbs, Hansa Meyer used owned equipment including our 500-ton Hydra-Slide to set the reactor in place. Our rigging teams and operators are excellent having completed multiple jack and slide operations this year. We appreciate their hard work, and you, for taking time to read about our projects.

Over-the-Road From SC to KY

Hansa Meyer Companies transported 245 packages, totaling 5,316 CBM, from South Carolina to Kentucky, with pieces originating from both Germany and China. Hansa Meyer used a Goldhofer THP DR configured with 8 axle lines and a 2017 Western Star 4900 SB to make the transport.  The cargo was transported approximately 575 miles and successfully delivered to site.

Jackup Assembly OTR to Barge Transport

Hansa Meyer Heavy Haul & Rigging transported a large Jackup assembly from the manufacturer to a barge landing using a 4-drop-8 configuration. (4 lines of Goldhofer SL, 300ton drop deck and 8 more lines of Goldhofer SL) The scope of work included crane coordination and loading onto Hansa Meyer equipment at origin, transport to barge landing, then working with Big John, the barge crane, to transload the assembly in to a hopper barge.  Our team did an excellent job and we look forward to the next one. Enjoy the pictures and short GIF clips.
