CASE STUDY

Our customer is a recognized global leader in crane rental services, heavy lifting, and engineered transport. It has an extensive product portfolio of equipment including cranes, gantries, jacking products for different countries and territories.

In this project, their need is to install the power station components at the Lamma Power Station Extension Unit 11 in Hong Kong.

THE CHALLENGE

Shipping large and heavy items came with its own unique challenges from removal, transportation to discharge at site. As there is no road access to the site at Lamma Island, all the equipment packed in containers was transported by barge from the Hong Kong terminal after shipment arrival. Then, it was delivered disassembled to the worksite by our lifting cranes.

Because of the evolving coronavirus pandemic, prioritizing the health and safety of all team members has required careful personnel planning.
