The year 2023 began with CSS Dubai undertaking a mammoth project for transporting a giant tower weighing 103 tons with dimensions of 60m x 4.25m x 4.45m. The project involved moving this massive tower across Sheikh Zayed Road, one of the busiest and arterial roads in the metropolis of Dubai all the way to Jebel Ali Port to load on the Vessel chartered by CSS on their journey to final destination.
Scope And Scale of The Operation
There are two main ways to move such structures : disassembling and then reassembling them at the required destination or transporting it whole. As this project requires the latter, 2 files of 12 axle conventional hydraulic trailer with bolster attachment, were used. The tower was shifted onto the truck using two giant cranes. These moves can be complicated and require precision and careful attention at every step. The tower was inspected, and it was ready to be transported on the road after clearance.
The truck had to be accompanied by private and police escort vehicles throughout its journey to the destination. Diligent planning and a thorough route survey were the order of the day considering all risk assessment. On approaching Sheikh Zayed Road, the truck had to manoeuvre a challenging U-turn. This was a crucial point in the whole endeavour. The biggest challenge was crossing one of the busiest roads in UAE by removing barricades to bypass the Jebel Ali bridge.
Seamless Integration and Team Work – The Secret of Our Success
The large and bulky towers require diligent planning due to the difficulty in transportation. However, with a well-planned transportation strategy the team could overcome these challenges.
The first step in this herculean project was to define the parties involved. The team at CSS Industrial Projects developed a shared understanding of the required data and integrated all the stakeholders involved. The vessel operators, the partners, the Dubai Police, the Road Transportation Authority, and CSS Industrial Project Team were seamlessly integrated to undertake this gigantic transportation project.
