Transformers from Bhopal to Kafue Gorge, Zambia
Total 10 Transformers each weighing 92 mtons alongwith accessories were picked up from shippers manufacturing works at BHOPAL, India to Mumbai Port for shipment to Richards Bay, South Africa.
Hydraulic axles and low bed trailers were employed to transport the Transformers to Kafue Gorge Power Station in Zambia.
The Transformer tanks were delivered to the turbine hall which was located at the end of a tunnel (the entrance door of the tunnel is about 5000mm opening and 4900mm in height) about 1 km long. As the height of the Transformer Tank was 4000mm, it was a difficult operation but successfully managed.
The old Transformers were also shifted out of the Turbine Hall and transported to a storage site which was located 6 kms away on an uphill road.
Contract was completed in stipulated transit time.
" We would like to thank you and your entire team for the (again) great cooperation and outstanding support along with the recent employment of MV Klara in several concerned Indian ports. "
