24-08-2016

We finished on august 05, the special job for a Wind Power project in the north of chile. In partnership with agent in China we have been nominated to do maritime transport and DAP service from Shanghai to the Enel Green Power company’s park in Sierra Gorda, near to Calama in the Atacama desert.

The plant is located over 370 kms from arrival port and due to the size and weight of transformers, it took a trip 5 days up to the plant because the maximum speed in the way is 40 kms per hour with a police escort, as per road permits, only allowed us to advance some hours per day and during weekend is not permit to move. Each shipment consisting of one 109 tons transformer + 4 trucks + 4 flat bed trucks with 110 tons - 320 cbm of accessories and spare parts. Our job was supervision at arrival port, move from port up to the jobsite, discharge of all accessories and mounting of the main body. A lot of people got involved in this job, engineers and risk professionals because in this case the service included the mounting , which is not an usual service required, so, from now we add a new service at the disposal of our clients and partners.
