Allcargo Logistics has won a contract from Reliance Infrastructure Limited to handle and transport 66 units of Super Over Dimension Cargo (SODC) from various ports in India to Sasan Power Limited, a part of Reliance Power.According to a Press release, Sasan Power is commissioning a 3,960 Megawatt (MW) thermal Ultra Mega Power Plant (UMPP) in a nearby area of Sasan village under Singrauli Tehsil of Sidhi district in Madhya Pradesh. The power plant will have a capacity of generating 3,960 MW of electricity through six units, each having a capacity of 660 MW.
To execute the project, Allcargo Logistics has been assigned the responsibility of transportation, Customs clearance and port handling of various power plant machineries like generator-stator, de-aerator and transformer sets. Some of the oversized cargoes like generator-stator are as heavy as 345 tonnes, de-aerator having a length of 43 metres and transformers of dimensions of 6.2m X 6m X 5m, the release added.
For the transportation of heavy machineries over the Sone River, a bypass was fabricated as the design and structure of the bridge was not meant to support such huge structures. The bypass was built in a record time of 26 days, which made the movement of heavy machineries possible.
With extreme precautionary steps and strategic and systematic planning undertaken by Allcargo, the logistics movement of the generator-stator and other equipment are being successfully delivered in an efficient and effective manner, it stated.
Allcargo Logistics has so far handled 7 of the 9 power projects of Reliance Group in the last six years, and is proud to be a leading innovative partner in India’s infrastructure and power growth story.
ANOTHER CONTRACT
Allcargo Logistics had recently bagged another contract from Hyundai Heavy Industries, Korea, for movement of 7 heavy lift transformers and accessories from Mumbai Port to the 765 KVA Bina substations (Power Grid) in Madhya Pradesh.
Allcargo was assigned to handle Customs clearances, port handling and inland transportation of all the 7 transformers and accessories. The transformers, each weighing 177 tonnes and having dimensions 7.5 x 5.7 x 4.8 metres were loaded on 12 hydraulic axles having a convoy length of 28.5 metres. The total freight tonnes, including the accessories, came to 3,872 FRT.
In view of the complexities involved, Allcargo conducted a complete route survey and outlined all the risks involved. It then brought out a complete risk analysis statement and ensured all risks were mitigated to the minimum level (ALARP- as low as reasonably possible).
The transformers were shipped by the supplier in 2 lots. The first lot was successfully delivered within 30 days of discharge at port, and the second consignment is currently on the way and planned to be delivered within 25 days of the discharge.
Looking at the performance and engineering expertise of Allcargo, Hyundai Heavy Industries requested it to unload at site from trailer to foundation. Allcargo immediately despatched a team of unloading specialists having wide and diversified experience of unloading transformers. Subsequently, the operations were carried out in a safe and compliant manner.
