28850 members and under development: the organization of networks in the marine industry!
The Vostochny Cosmodrome, a spaceport located on Russian territory, is recently under structure in the Amur region of the Russian Far East. As a component of the project, Mammoet was responsible for unloading 14 heavy and large aircraft from a barge and sending them to the site 60 km away.
The shipment included parts of two other giant structures: the release platform and a vacuum chamber for the angara-area rocket complex release complex, weighing about six hundred tons. The vacuum room had a diameter of nine meters.
“It was a very gigantic and vital task for us,” said Alexey Zhugan, Mammoet’s assignment manager on site. “Our consumer trusted us to deliver several very vital devices to the long-distance structure site. We have done so not only in the safest way, but also in the most effective way possible, within the time limit. “
The shipment is transported in two portions and in a total of 4 days.
The fact that Mammoet had all the mandatory lifting and shipping devices on the site was also an additional benefit. For unloading the cargo, the company used two heavy transport cranes, the LR-11350 and LR-1750, as well as Goldhofer trailers and semi-trailers. -Trailers to be delivered to the structure site.
“For each and every team, we needed special permits,” Zhugan said. “There is also quite complex logistics related to the transport of such cargo. We had to block regional roads as well as the federal road connecting Moscow. to Vladivostok for a few hours at night to bring the charges. All this requires careful planning and approval of each and every detail of the project ».
Being worried about such a giant assignment resonates on many levels. For Mammoet as a company, this is an exciting opportunity to be part of a key progression in the region. For the equipment in the box and for Zhugan on componenticular, it’s even more than that. This is an opportunity to make a contribution to the local economy and its country. This is what he calls “a moment of pride. “
