Foundation installation campaign begins on Dogger Bank B

0

The team working on what will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Dogger Bank, have started work on the foundation installation campaign for the second phase of the development.

Seaway7’s vessels Seaway Strashnov and Seaway Alfa Lift have commenced installation of monopile foundations and transition pieces for the Dogger Bank B phase of the offshore wind farm project. The team recently completed installation of all 95 transition pieces on Dogger Bank A, thus concluding the installation of the foundations for the first phase of the project.

Olly Cass, Dogger Bank Wind Farm Project Director, said: “These installation milestones are the result of years of commitment and diligence from the project team and its delivery partners. As the world’s largest wind farm of its kind and due to the deployment of new turbine technology, every aspect of the wind farm has required us to come up with new innovative design and engineering solutions that will shape the future construction of offshore wind globally. We extend our thanks and congratulations to the many companies and individuals who’ve risen to this challenge and contributed to the milestone we’re celebrating today.”

Wouter van Dalen, Project Director, Seaway7, said: “We are happy to welcome Seaway Strashnov back to the project to commence foundation installation on Dogger Bank B – leading on from the vessel’s good performance last year on Dogger Bank A. After introducing our brand-new heavy lift vessel Seaway Alfa Lift to the project in October, the vessel operated through the high weather season installing transition pieces on Dogger Bank A, and now continues this work in phase B. The foundation installation scope is making excellent progress, enabled by our strong collaboration with our client Dogger Bank Wind Farm and our subcontractors.”

The monopile foundations and transition pieces provide a solid and stable base for the scale of GE Vernova’s groundbreaking 13MW Haliade-X turbines. The monopile and transition piece structures were manufactured by Sif and Smulders and are being installed 80-miles off the Yorkshire coast by tier one contractor Seaway7. Monopiles are the large-diameter tube-shaped steel structures that are installed in the seabed by the vessel using dynamic positioning technology. The monopiles weigh in at up to 1,424 tonnes each and can measure up to 72.8 metres in length. The Dogger Bank transition pieces feature a pioneering split-level design to support safe installation and operation and have a record-breaking 8m flange to connect the monopiles and transition piece structures.

Confirmation of this offshore milestone on Dogger Bank B follows on from the successful installation of the offshore HVDC platform for the second phase of the wind farm in April.

A total of 277 monopiles and transition pieces will be installed across all three phases of the wind farm, with completion due in 2026.

Steel manufactured by Tata Steel in Wales and processed in Corby and Hartlepool is being used in the supporting components of the transition pieces, while South Tyneside-based Metec and Rochdale-based Granada Material Handling have also won contracts with Smulders to support this innovative and world-leading project.

Designed in the UK by experts from Wood Thilsted, Dogger Bank Wind Farm’s foundations have been optimised to tackle challenging wave loads in the Dogger Bank area of the North Sea, with installation in water depths of up to 32m and at a minimum distance of 130km from shore.

JSL expands horizons in diamond jewelry logistics

0

JSL Global Qatar, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) for Qatar, has been expanding its horizons in diamond jewelry and watches event logistics by serving as the logistics contributor for two of Doha’s premier annual jewelry shows.

The Doha Jewelry (DJWE) and Watches Exhibition and ASJAD are among the most grand and luxurious jewelry exhibitions in the region, showcasing exquisite collections of gold and diamond jewelry alongside high-end watches. To meet the demand for their international clients, JSL Handled QAR 52M ($14M) Diamond Logistics for that show.

A company spokesperson said: “With attendees and exhibitors from around the globe, our clientele reflects the international attraction of these events. JSL Global has been engaged with these jewelry exhibitions for more than five years, demonstrating our expertise and commitment to the industry. Our dedicated team handles all stages of the logistics process, offering customized services to each client.
As we continue to elevate the standard of event logistics in Qatar, JSL Global remains dedicated to delivering seamless solutions and unparalleled service to our clients in the jewelry industry.”

Another delicate task was demonstrated by JSL Global who handled the transports of a Telescopic Suction Pipe from Bahrain to Qatar.

The transportation of the Telescopic Suction Pipe (assembled) presented a unique logistical challenge, requiring meticulous planning and coordination. With dimensions of 21 x 2.05 x 2.4 m and a weight of about 11 ton, the cargo posed challenges due to its size and weight, necessitating special equipment and careful handling.

The project involved transporting the material from Bahrain to Doha, Qatar, via Saudi Arabia, by road freight. This was undertaken for a prominent alumina refinery company in Doha, located in one of the industrial cities in Qatar. The cargo was vital for their plant operations, demanding adherence to strict timelines.

Specialized trailers, including a Long Trailer of 22 meters for cross-country shipment, were utilized, followed by a 22-meter long trailer for in-country movement to the client’s site. Challenges arose during the transportation process, notably obtaining permits for the Bahrain Causeway and undergoing X-ray scanning at the KSA border due to the cargo’s length.

To meet the client’s time-sensitive requirements, thorough planning was essential. Gate passes, escort approvals, and cross-loading plans were arranged precisely to ensure seamless movement and adherence to deadlines. Despite the logistical hurdles, collaborative efforts and strategic planning ensured the successful delivery of the Telescopic Suction Pipe, demonstrating the JSL Global project team´s commitment to meeting client needs under challenging circumstances.

0

In April it was announced that the Viking Link Project, a high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission link between the UK and Denmark, had been officially launched.

Following a total investment of £1.8 billion, Viking Link is the first connection between the UK and Danish transmission systems.

According to National Grid, at over 760km, it is currently the world’s longest land and subsea interconnector. It runs from the Bicker Fen substation in Lincolnshire to the Revsing substation in Jutland and has a total capacity of 1.4GW.

At Bertling Logistics they are particularly proud to have contributed to the success of the project by delivering 7 x 225 tonne transformers from Rotterdam via the Port of Esbjerg to the project site in Vejen, Denmark. The accessories came from all over Europe and were also transported directly to the project site.

The transformers measured 7.50 x 4.64 x 5.00m and had to be assembled on site in front of the transformer bay before being jacked and skidded onto the foundation.

The Viking Link is expected to power 2.5 million homes in the UK while avoiding 600,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year – a prestigious project truly made for the future.

Fagioli uses SCHEUERLE SPMT’s to set world record

0

Using a total of 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines, heavy-load logistics provider Fagioli Inc., based in Manvel, Texas (USA), transported an offshore wind turbine installation vessel weighing more than 23,000 tonnes from the port facilities onto three barges from where it was subsequently launched into the water.

In the process, Fagioli set three world records: for the largest number of axle lines under one load, the heaviest weight moved by SPMT axle lines and the heaviest load on wheels transferred onto barges.

Since the introduction of TII SCHEUERLE’s SPMT technology more than 40 years ago, customers of TII SCHEUERLE, the industry expert for heavy load transport solutions for both on and off-road assignments and a TII Group subsidiary, have repeatedly set new world records with the self-propelled modular transporters. Now, the US heavy-load logistics provider Fagioli has raised the bar once again and has improved on the previous record by almost 3,000 tonnes. Positioned on 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines and using the thrust of 28 PPUs (Power Pack Units), the heavy-load expert transported the 23,163 tonne special ship “Charybdis”, a so-called Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV), from the shipyard onto the water. This is the heaviest weight ever transported on land on wheels. At the same time, the largest number of axle lines were used for transporting one single load.

On reaching the river bank, the vessel was transferred to three parallel positioned barges also by means of the 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines. With a total weight of 26,900 tonnes, this also marked a new world record: the heaviest barge load transported on wheels for boarding a ship. The WTIV was subsequently launched into the water.

Filippo Baldassari, Managing Director of TII Group, expressed his delight accordingly: “We at TII SCHEUERLE are immensely proud of the fact that our products have made such a milestone possible in the heavy-load industry. The new record not only proves the superb performance of our SPMTs but it also impressively demonstrates the tireless innovative strength and determination of our customers. Their successes are also our successes! We look forward to continuing to achieve new heights of performance together and shaping the future of heavy-load logistics.”

With this special transport, Fagioli and TII SCHEUERLE are also driving the energy transition. The WTIV plays a significant role in the construction of offshore wind turbines in the USA. The “Charybdis” is the first vessel of its kind to comply with the Jones Act requirements. This regulation stipulates that all transportation between American ports may only be provided by vessels that were built in the States and owned by US citizens who hold an appropriate transportation licence. This also applies to the transport of people and goods to offshore wind turbine facilities.

WITVs transport components such as turbines and rotor blades to construction sites at sea. Among other things, they are equipped with large cranes for assembling the components. US energy company, Dominion Energy, had the “Charybdis” built in the Seatrium AmFELS shipyard in Texas.

The heavy-load logistics experts at Fagioli, headquartered in Italy, have been relying on SPMT axle lines from TII SCHEUERLE since the 1980s. The three new world records show once again just how powerful the SPMT modules from TII SCHEUERLE are and why TII SCHEUERLE is recognised as the world’s leading provider of heavy-duty transport solutions.

The idea of a 2,430 millimetre wide modular platform transporter which corresponded to container dimensions came about in 1983. This size ensures that the transport solution can be shipped to the most remote locations worldwide in the shortest possible time while simultaneously being as economical as possible while using a standard container (flat rack). The wide range of options for mechanically or electronically coupling SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines in a loose coupling mode therefore make theoretically unlimited payloads possible. One or more Power Pack Units (PPU), which can be coupled to the SCHEUERLE SPMT modules as required, generate the energy for the hydrostatic drive, steering system and lifting operations. The technical basis of the SCHEUERLE SPMT is provided by the hydraulically supported pendulum axle as well as the electronic multi-directional steering. SCHEUERLE SPMT modules are available with 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 axle lines whereby modern types of tyres allow axle loads of up to 60 tonnes.

SPMTs from TII SCHEUERLE represent the largest number of SPMT axle lines available on the market worldwide. For this reason, the company has been repeatedly recognised as a world market leader by the renowned business magazine, WirtschaftsWoche. As a result, customers around the world can conveniently rent SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines or use cooperation partners with compatible modules to carry out super-heavy heavy transport assignments.

 
 

The post Fagioli uses SCHEUERLE SPMT’s to set world record appeared first on Project Cargo.

Using a total of 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines, heavy-load logistics provider Fagioli Inc., based in Manvel, Texas (USA), transported an offshore wind turbine installation vessel weighing more than 23,000 tonnes from the port facilities onto three barges from where it was subsequently launched into the water.

In the process, Fagioli set three world records: for the largest number of axle lines under one load, the heaviest weight moved by SPMT axle lines and the heaviest load on wheels transferred onto barges.

Since the introduction of TII SCHEUERLE’s SPMT technology more than 40 years ago, customers of TII SCHEUERLE, the industry expert for heavy load transport solutions for both on and off-road assignments and a TII Group subsidiary, have repeatedly set new world records with the self-propelled modular transporters. Now, the US heavy-load logistics provider Fagioli has raised the bar once again and has improved on the previous record by almost 3,000 tonnes. Positioned on 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines and using the thrust of 28 PPUs (Power Pack Units), the heavy-load expert transported the 23,163 tonne special ship “Charybdis”, a so-called Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV), from the shipyard onto the water. This is the heaviest weight ever transported on land on wheels. At the same time, the largest number of axle lines were used for transporting one single load.

On reaching the river bank, the vessel was transferred to three parallel positioned barges also by means of the 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines. With a total weight of 26,900 tonnes, this also marked a new world record: the heaviest barge load transported on wheels for boarding a ship. The WTIV was subsequently launched into the water.

Filippo Baldassari, Managing Director of TII Group, expressed his delight accordingly: “We at TII SCHEUERLE are immensely proud of the fact that our products have made such a milestone possible in the heavy-load industry. The new record not only proves the superb performance of our SPMTs but it also impressively demonstrates the tireless innovative strength and determination of our customers. Their successes are also our successes! We look forward to continuing to achieve new heights of performance together and shaping the future of heavy-load logistics.”

With this special transport, Fagioli and TII SCHEUERLE are also driving the energy transition. The WTIV plays a significant role in the construction of offshore wind turbines in the USA. The “Charybdis” is the first vessel of its kind to comply with the Jones Act requirements. This regulation stipulates that all transportation between American ports may only be provided by vessels that were built in the States and owned by US citizens who hold an appropriate transportation licence. This also applies to the transport of people and goods to offshore wind turbine facilities.

TII KAMAG introduces the PrecisionMover

0

TII KAMAG has introduced its efficient swap body transporter, the KAMAG PrecisionMover (KAMAG PM), in a hot-dip galvanised version.

Galvanising the lifting table, frame and cab mounting system enhances corrosion resistance and service life of the vehicle.

TII KAMAG, a leading manufacturer of special vehicles and specialist for transport solutions in handling operations, offers a wide range of solutions for diverse transportation tasks. This also includes the KAMAG PM swap body transporter which is known for its efficiency and manoeuvrability in cargo handling operations. This vehicle has been specially designed for logistics service providers, couriers, express and parcel service operators as well as sub-contractors who rely on fast and efficient processes at their logistics yards. The KAMAG PM has proven itself to be reliable and safe in tough, continuous use and also when subjected to extreme conditions.

A significant upgrade to the KAMAG PM is therefore the introduction of hot-dip galvanized components including the lifting table, vehicle frame and cabin suspension system. The benefits of galvanisation include improved durability and corrosion resistance which are critical to vehicle robustness. Galvanisation provides very effective and reliable resistance to rust and facilitates self-healing in the event of minor damage. Galvanised surfaces are robust and resistant to different temperatures without compromising any of their protective characteristics. As a result, the KAMAG PM can also be used during extreme weather conditions as well as under increased mechanical stress.

By integrating galvanised components, TII KAMAG not only extends the service life of the KAMAG PM but also contributes to economic efficiency and environmental compatibility. Galvanised parts require less maintenance and are recyclable thus making them a sustainable choice. “The hot-dip galvanised KAMAG PM is also an example of our commitment to implementing environmentally-friendly solutions. Galvanising is considered a resource-saving corrosion protection process that helps reduce the ecological footprint. We are committed to sustainability in the transport industry whereby the special requirements and challenges of our customers are always at the forefront,” emphasised Jürgen Haupt, Head of Sales Logistics at TII KAMAG.

Since its market launch in 1995, the KAMAG PM, formerly known as the “Wiesel”, has established itself as a best seller in the internal transport industry. With over 2,500 KAMAG PM swap body transporters in more than 20 European countries, TII KAMAG is the market leader in this segment. Customers particularly appreciate the vehicle’s high level of economic efficiency and practicality when handling swap bodies, trailers and semi-trailers.

Falcon International ensures on-time engine delivery

0

Project Logistics Alliance is happy to announce that Falcon International, representing Canada in the alliance, has successfully completed a project from meticulous planning to a flawless execution.

The journey started from Houston, Texas to Hays, Kansas. The cargo measured 927 x 302 x 429 cm and weighed 85,433 Kg. The scope was the relocation of a new engine and removal of the old engine from inside the plant. Additionally, the process required mobilization of necessary equipment with end-to-end coordination.

The engine was transported as part of a power generation plant project based in Hays, Kansas set to provide electricity to residential areas and the industrial sector.

To achieve this movement the following steps were necessary: engine relocation via Jack & Slide techniques, timely arrival of a 13-axle truck, mobilization of a 260-ton crane, route survey for smooth transport, and permit acquisition for time-critical moves.

The primary challenges encountered during the shipment process were ensuring the timely availability of a truck at the Houston Terminal, obtaining permits for this time-sensitive operation, and coordinating the delivery of specialized lifting equipment for the trans-loading of the engine. Despite these challenges, the Falcon International team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and problem-solving skills, successfully overcoming each hurdle.

This project exemplifies Falcon’s commitment to excellence and their ability to turn challenges into triumphs. Congratulations to team Falcon International for a job well done!
