VTG moved a high pressure blowdown vessel with dimensions 2000 x 560 x 580 cm, 175 mt from Yekaterinburg to Tobolsk for an ongoing petrochemical plant project.
Transport preparations started one year ago with intensive road studies and bridge calculations while the final permit process lasted three months.
The cargo travelled 650 km in 8 days, passing 4 railway crossings as well as more than 60 bridges. VTG started with 16 axle modular trailer and had to extend half way to a 24 axle modular trailer to solve issues with one major bridge.
