COMPANIES TRANSPORT AND LIFTING TECHNOLOGY BUILDING CURRENTLY CAREER DE LARGE TRANSPORT PROJECT STARTED SUCCESSFULLY 23/08/2021 | At the end of July, Felbermayr Switzerland successfully completed the first partial order for a large transport project. A total of four transformers will be exchanged in the Grimsel area in Switzerland - the order includes the transport of the new transformers as well as the removal of the old ones. The organization and handling of complex transport projects is practically part of daily business for the Felbermayr company. According to this, transformer manufacturers and power plant operators have placed an order with Felbermayr for the transport of these four new transformers, each weighing 95 tons. It took around two years from planning to successful completion of the sub-project. Transport route in detail The first partial transport started at the end of July 2021 - two of the four transformers to be transported were picked up from the Felbermayr warehouse in Linz and brought by direct road transport to the reloading point in the Swiss canton of Bern. “Once there, the heavy freight was reloaded onto a lifting lever bridge using a telescopic crane,” explains Ingo Müller, project manager at Bau-Trans. The further transport ran around 30 kilometers and an astonishing 1,200 meters in altitude over a gorge to the portal and then over a very narrow access tunnel to the planned destination, the machine house. The two transformers were unloaded there with nacelle cranes. Special challenges "One of the most challenging things about this job was managing the planned transport route," reports Müller. Especially the transport with the 10-axle low loader over the Swiss mountain pass was a great difficulty due to the inclines, descents and tight curves. The greatest challenge, however, was the ascent and descent on the Grimselpass, each with a total weight of around 250 tons Inclines or declines of eleven percent. There was also a construction site on a bridge, which meant that only half of the bridge could be used for the crossing and the space was accordingly cramped. In order to be able to guarantee sufficient distance with the load, the transformers in the through-loading girder bridge were loaded off-center. Durch die akribische organisatorische sowie technische Vorbereitung, vor allem in Kooperation mit dem Kunden, Behörden und Sublieferanten stand einem erfolgreichen Projektstart nichts im Wege. Ende Juli wurde durch Felbermayr Schweiz ein großes Transportprojekt gestartet.
