UK specialist transport company Collett & Sons transported two 215 tonne super grid transformers using its 250 tonne capacity Goldhofer modular girder bridge.
The transformers, which measured five metres high, were transported from Stafford to Ellesmere Port in the UK from where it was shipped to Scotland.
Collett then met the load on its arrival at the Port of Aberdeen and transported it to its final location in Leylodge, Kintore. The transportation required extensive route access surveys, visual route inspections and numerous swept path analysis reports which resulted in several modifications and traffic management procedures to allow the cargo to safely navigate the route. This included extensive street furniture removal (including electrical elements), tree trimming, parking restrictions and designated hold points to allow the continual flow of traffic.
