Giant transformers reach final destination
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Two weeks ago, Wagenborg Nedlift completed the
first phase of the transport of two
giant transformers from Bad Honnef to Dörpen, Germany. Last
week, the final part of the project was completed. Via river
barges, the two giants were transport from Germany to Herbrum,
approx. 10 km from their final destination. In Herbrum, a roll-off
operation took place with a specially constructed roro-bridge. As
soon as the roro-operation was finished, the convoy took off to the
substation in Dörpen. With Wagenborg Nedlift’s hydraulic lifting
gantry, the giants were carefully put onto their foundations.
