Australian Marine Complex SL2 Relocation
- Scope
To produce a transportation and relocation design for the decommissioning of Shiploader SL2 owned by CBH Group. - Solution
Specific guidelines as to where the Shiploader needed to be received. With minimum time to prepare and execute the transport and relocation. - Conclusion
Utilize the lifting beam of the discharging ship as a main transport beam. Designed packing and support arrangements
PROCESS INNOVATION THROUGH THE DECADES
Successfully undertaking and completing another project in WA within a strict timeframe, Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift completed the transportation and relocation of Shiploader SL2, under contract to Delta Group.
Weighing approximately 750 tonnes with a centre of gravity approximately 20 metres from the group, TBHL&S successfully used a Scheuerle third-generation Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) to satisfy the requirements of the CBH engineers.
Utilising the lifting beam of the discharging ship, TBHL&S used the main transport beam to receive the main member of the Shiploader.
A specially designed packing and support arrangement provided an even spread of the weight of the ship loader when transported onto the trailers. Utilising 8 file 18 axle lines SPMT or a total of 72 axle lines to transport and relocate Shiploader SL2.
Shiploader SL2 was transported and relocated safely as per plan and schedule onto the offloading area for decommissioning.
