Transportation of heavy cargo to two gas combined-cycle power plants in Beni Suef and New Capital

Project: Transportation of heavy cargo to two gas combined-cycle power plants

Project location: New Capital and Beni Suef, Egypt

Equipment: 40 axle lines of conventional trailers in a 4 file 20 configuration, 24 axle lines of SPMT in a 4 file 12 configura-tion, three primer movers (one Trojan truck + two MAN trucks), three skidding gantries (four 200t strand jack units and two SS300 push-pull units each)

Weights: 16 gas turbines weighing 486t , 16 gas turbine generators weighing 396t and eight steam generators weigh-ing 396t

Key Features: Reduced schedule

ALE was awarded with the transportation of all heavy cargo of mechanical equipment of the newly constructed gas combined-cycle power plants in Beni Suef and New Capital, in Egypt. Being the largest combined cycle project in the world, each plant will be made up of 8 gas blocks and 4 steam blocks and will generate 4,800MW of power. The total heavy cargo ALE has been contracted to deliver comprises of: 16 gas turbines weighing 486t and the corresponding generators, 8 steam generators transformers weighing 396t, and in collaboration with local companies more than 380 boiler modules, weighing between 40t - 192t, 16 transformers for gas blocks weighing 196t and 8 transformers for steam blocks weighing 196t. The project started in mid-April, focusing on the Beni Suef plant and carry on in New Capital 2 months later. By the end of August, ALE had transported 6 turbines, 6 generators and 2 transformers at the power plant in Beni Suef and 1 transformer, 2 generators and 2 turbines to New Capital.

To perform all operative and administrative works in such a short period meant a huge challenge, ALE co-ordinated with their local partner so that all operations were carried out in time. The route to Beni Suef is 340km and to New Capital is 100km. ALE transported the gas turbine generators and gas turbines using 40 axle lines of conventional trailers in a 4 file 20 configuration. With the challenging slopes and road, ALE required prime movers to carry the gas turbines The Trojan truck, patented by ALE, was used on this project, in order to reduce the trucks needed to two prime movers, Trojan (8X4) and MAN (8x4). Also, another prime mover was used to move the smaller cargo in convoy on same trip using 18 axle lines. Due to the weight, the trailer has to take a detour to avoid 6 bridges on the highway. But there were 3 bridges impossible to avoid and which had been reinforced. Because of the dimensions of the cargo, it was delivered to transhipment area outside of the site because conventional trailers cannot fit inside. In this area, the cargo was placed onto stools and 24 axle lines of SPMT in a 4 file 12 configuration transported the cargo inside.
