To Jewett

During February and March 2013, COORDINADORA carried out the transport of a 378 t transformer with dimensions of 10.51 x 4.13 x 5.05m, plus its corresponding accessories, from Seville to the Jewett Nuclear Power Plant in Texas (USA).

The transport was performed in two different stages: The first stage consisted of the sea voyage on a heavy lift vessel from Seville (Spain) to Beaumont (USA). This arrival port was chosen due to the cargo weight and ground pressure loads restrictions within the Houston area.

One of the most critical points of the operation was the timely coordination of the unloading process of the transformer from vessel onto the railcar, once the vessel arrived at port. The trafo was unloaded at night and spent only 36 hrs in the port until the rail transport was carried out, by means of a 20 axle depressed railcar, up to the final destination at the Jewett Nuclear Power Plant in Donie (Texas).

It is also important to highlight the major efforts required from our side regarding insurance and liability issues in the USA that were all covered and arranged by COORDINADORA.
