This alternative route had a height restriction of 5.4m and to keep within this allowance one end of the Evaporator was bookend ensuring the erection program schedule was maintained.
Each Evaporator measured 31m x 5.5m x 5.0m and weighted 100 tonnes.
The Project involved road transport of 12 wind turbines and all support equipment from Port of Dunedin to the Mahinerangi Wind Farm site 70 km South West of Dunedin.
Turbine components began arriving at the Port during December 2010/ January 2011.
Main components:
- 36 towers up to 28.5m x 4.1m x 4.1m - each weighing up to 76 tonne
- 36 blades 44.5m x 3.2m x 3.6m - each weighing 12 tonne
- 12 Nacelles - each weighing 80 tonne
- 12 ISO container loads of support equipment
Responsibilities included:
- Discharge from heavy lift ships hook and movement to a temporary wharf storage site.
- Progressively transporting all the equipment from the Port area on custom designed trailer equipment
- Logistics working with local council and NZTA closing the Dunedin Motorway on specified periods five days per week for the over dimensional loads
- Receive and discharge all components at the project site and handle through to positioning for final installation.
The Globaltrans scope of work included all charter arrangements of the specialised heavy lift ship.
The Project involved 28 wind turbines from Port of Auckland for transport to Te Uku Wind Farm 270 km South West of Auckland.
Turbine components began arriving at the Port during September 2010.
Responsibilities included:
Discharge from heavy lift ships hook and movement to a temporary wharf storage site.
Progressively road transport all cargo through the city of Auckland to the Project site.
Receive at site and handle through to final installation.
Main components:
84 blades 49.5m x 3.2m x 3.6m each weighing 15 tonnes
84 towers up to 36m x 4.2m x 4.2m each weighing 56 tonnes
28 Nacelles each weighing 85 tonnes
80 ISO container loads
75,500 cubic tonnes of loose stow support equipment
Additional work Scope included:
Leasing 15,500sqm of hard stand and at the Port site.
Preparing all components for road transport.
Arranged with local council on route to raise an overhead bridge to a permanent new height to allow all loads to travel on a more direct route between Port and project site.
Dimensions
Furnace section 22.0m x 6.5m x 5.2m 110 tonnes
Generating Bank 11.5m x 7.7m x 3.8m 68 tonnes
Economiser module 10.4m x 5.5m x 3.6m 45 tonnes
Global Transport handled the over dimensional transport contract for the movement of 29 Fermenter Tanks from NDA in Hamilton to the South Auckland Site.
Upon arrival at the $250 million development the Tanks were lifted off using two cranes and then positioned upright and secured in their final location.
This Project involved transporting 5 modules (Bag Houses) moved by a combination of Road transport and Sea freight from Hamilton to Fonterra Edendale. Each unit weighed 20 tonnes and measured 16.2m x 6.2m x 6.2m.
This project included uplifting three large machines from the Hamilton manufacturing plant through to delivery on-site in Ballineen Ireland. The work scope covered road transport, ocean freight, all lifting and lashing arrangements plus supply of the equipment for ship loading and discharge.

Project: Synlait Boiler from Thailand to New Zealand
Dimensions 11.5m x 7.5m x 5.0m weighing 75 tonnes.
This was a logistical challenge due to the center of gravity running in two diverse directions. The project included loading at the works in Thailand and deliver to position alongside foundation works at the Synlait site in New Zealand.
Due to height restrictions in Thailand the road transport operation between the plant and port load-out site required 20 hours additional hauling time negotiating low bridges and overhead wires.
Global Transport also supplied all the loading and unloading spreader beams and wires.
Project: Refinery Vessel shipped by Barge from NZ to Australia.

‘Stripper’ Refinery Vessel weighing 310 tonnes and measuring 40m x 7m x 7m manufactured by Fitzroy Engineering New Plymouth for Shell Oil Australia. The Project scope included the New Plymouth lead-out and discharge operations in Sydney. It also involved moving a smaller vessel and a range of supporting equipment.
