CSS Oman recently completed two challenging and arduous projects of moving 125 reel drums and shipping 850 tons of pipes from China.
Movement of Reel Drums from Sohar to Project Site
CSS Oman project team was contracted to undertake this project. The project involved the transportation of 125 reel
drums from a factory in the city of Sohar in Oman to the project site which was 620 kms away. With each of the sereel drums weighing 5.2 tons each, a total of 32 trucks were deployed for this operation. This was done in adherence to the Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) plan set forward by the Projects Team. Complete compliance of the HSSE code is the driving force behind CSS’s commitment to improving its sustainability and environmental awareness.
The process involved toolbox talk, chain lashing, cross checking, lashing at all rest points, driver management
and fatigue management. The CSS Oman Project Team made sure that the Journey Management Plan (JMP) was strictly followed without any deviations through the complete logistical journey.The entire lot was moved without any major issues, meeting the client project deadline. This is definitely signifies the immense capabilities of the Project Team of CSS Oman.
Movement Of Pipes from China to Sohar Port
The CSS Oman project team was also contracted to ship 850 tons of pipes from Lianyungang Port in China to the
Sohar Port in Oman on a breakbulk vessel. The scope of the project included the collection from the shipper’s factory and movement to the port. The team also had to ensure that the best vessel was chartered to meet the
client’s deadline.
CSS Oman Project Team’s Capabilities
Even if cable and cable drums look very strong, there are certain rules to follow to avoid damage of the cable and an accompanying impairment of mechanical and electrical characteristics for these cables. The same principle applies to the shipment of pipes. Therefore, the project team was diligent in 100% compliance of the HSSE code both while transporting and storing these cable drums and pipes. Adhering to the HSSE standards helps the CSS Project Team in meeting their goals of being accident free and reducing environmental impact of the operations.
The best practice for moving and storing such cargo is
- For outdoor storage the ground must be even and clean.
- Stones or bumps in the ground should be removed or smoothed out.
- Stones or bumps in the ground should be removed or smoothed out. Damage to the wound goods/cable should be avoided at all costs.
- Cables should be secured against accidental rolling away. Under no circumstances should the drum flange of neighbouring cables touch any wound goods.
- Cable drums should always be stored and transported standing on both flanges.
- The rolling direction needs to be observed very carefully. The arrow printed on the drum flange indicates the rolling direction so that the wound goods do not become loose.
- Cable ends have to be waterproof to prevent moisture penetration which can lead to drastic deterioration in the electrical transmission rate.
