Express Global Logistics (EXG) was awarded the contract to move a 38 meter long Amine Regenerator from North west India to South East India, by one of the world’s leading Engineering, Procurement and Construction EPC contractors. The client is a global leader in the production, processing, storage and distribution of hydrogen. The distance of approximately 1500kms was covered in 30 days on a 14 axle + 10 meter spacer in the middle.
The experience of moving the regenerator was unique mainly because of its length with dimensions of 38.3 x 2.33 x 2.37 meters and the time required to complete the movement. The length of the package posed an interesting technical challenge for our engineers.
A detailed route survey was conducted in advance however as the COVID-19 pandemic ramped up, the job had to be executed under an extended national lockdown with no means for a revised route survey. A combination of EXG’s seasoned operations team and highly experienced engineers, was the X factor in the execution of this job. Most of the hurdles were foreseen and solutions were incorporated in the performance methodology. The major transportation challenges were the insufficient turning radiuses on curves, climbs, and slopes which needed careful coordination and skilled drivers to execute. The route had a combination of rough and hilly regions for which the EXG crew was prepared in advance. EXG sourced all the necessary permissions to move the cargo in the middle of a lockdown.
The most challenging part was to arrange prior approvals from the authorities, which was possible with the help of our engineering team, who had proposed multiple solutions for each obstacle. The project team at EXG is committed to solve complex logistics problems for it’s clients and welcomes any inquiries.
