PPG Malaysia transport massive Reactors |
 For the MG3 project, PPG Malaysian member, Megalift Sdn. Bhd., have successfully transported 3 Reactors: Reactor R1901 weighing 479 tonnes, measuring (L) 32.07m x (W) 4.06m x (H) 4.38m; Reactor R1902 weighing 318 tonnes, measuring (L) 28.97m x (W) 3.75m x (H) 4.35m; and Reactor R1903 weighing 188.3 tonnes, measuring (L) 20.83m x (W) 3.70m x (H) 4.31m to the Petronas site in Melaka.
Megalift’s scope of work was to directly receive the cargoes (delivered from the fabrication yard in Japan) from the MV “Lena” vessel onto a suitable barge measuring 230ft x 64ft x 14ft after which the barge then sailed to Sungai Udang Port in Melaka, where Megalift’s operations team covered the scope of transportation from the jetty to the jack down site 1km away. The job was carried out utilizing 36 axles of multi-axle trailer configured to a 16 axle side-by-side, a 16 axle & 20 axle. Also required during the operation was a 1,000hp tug to assist the barge to enter the Petronas Jetty. The entire intricate process took approximately two weeks to complete.
