The 100ft long, 28ft diameter, drums arrived at the Port of Los Angeles from Spain and were transported two at a time, over the course of three weeks, by barge to the Redondo King Harbor Marina. The drums were offloaded at King Harbor using 12 axle lines of Scheuerle SPMTs. They were then transported to a second staging area near the refinery.
Spacers were used to avoid repositioning the SPMTs, to match the length of the column and to spread the load.
