Engineering Precision in Motion: Seamless Execution of Pipe Rack Module Loadout Operation

Express Global Logistics recently completed a project moving 33 massive pipe rack modules at an industrial facility. The biggest module weighed 671.4 metric tons, which is about the weight of 500 cars !

The EXG team had to carefully transport these within the facility using specialized equipment and precise planning.

Project Details
– 33 large pipe rack modules to move
– Heaviest module: 671.4 metric tons
– Biggest module dimensions: 45.6m long × 12m wide × 19.7m high
– Transport equipment: 48-axle Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs)

The Challenges

Moving such enormous pipe rack modules wasn’t easy. Here’s what made this loadout operation difficult:
– Navigating Tight Spaces: The internal roads at the facility were narrow, making it challenging to manoeuvre these giant modules through confined areas.
– Ground Clearance: They had to manage space under obstructions like pipes and cables while also reinforcing unstable ground to support the heavy loads.
– Environmental Conditions: Bad weather and working through restricted night-time visibility made the transportation more challenging.

Their project logistics team handled these challenges with proven expertise:

– On-site Re-engineering: When they hit problems, they modified their plans immediately on-site
– SPMT Configuration Adjustments: They reconfigured their Self-Propelled Modular Transporters to work better for each specific situation
– Cross-functional Coordination: Different teams worked together using real-time issue tracking
– Operational Risk Management: They developed comprehensive risk mitigation strategies and had contingency plans ready for potential issues

Operational Excellence and Problem Solving

During the project, they encountered unexpected material obstructions that blocked their planned route. Instead of stopping work, their team demonstrated exceptional problem-solving skills:

– Recalculated trailer load balances on-site
– Implemented alternate plans to navigate around obstructions
– Made real-time adjustments to SPMT configurations
– Used an adaptive approach with continuous cross-functional coordination

This flexibility and technical expertise kept the project moving forward on schedule.
All 33 pipe rack modules were delivered to the designated loadout point on time and without incident. The transportation, separation, and loadout operation was completed exactly as specified, meeting all client expectations.

This project demonstrated their capabilities in heavy-lift, short-distance transport operations with high levels of accuracy and safety.

This loadout operation proves that complex logistics solutions require the right combination of technical planning, specialized equipment, and operational expertise.
