In a recent collaboration between Precision, Jetco, and Kiewit, the GTI Group showcased their expertise in handling complex logistical challenges. The project, which involved transporting 10 massive modules from Edmonton, AB, to various sites in Ottawa.
The scope of the project was formidable, with modules weighing between 87,000 to 113,000 lbs. and dimensions ranging from 60’ x 16’3” x 14’ to 50’ x 16’3” x 14’. Loaded dimensions reached an impressive 165’ x 20’ x 15’5”, posing significant hurdles for transportation.
Precision’s strategic choice of a 13-axle rear steer perimeter trailer proved instrumental in navigating the extensive 2,392 permitted miles journey. The modules journeyed from Edmonton to a stage yard near Ottawa, with final delivery sites spanning an additional 40-70 miles. The move was meticulously planned, transitioning from daytime travel to a 4-6 hour night move over a span of 10 transit days.
One of the critical factors contributing to the success of the project was Precision’s transparent approach in sharing lessons learned with Kiewit. This collaborative effort underscores the industry’s commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability when faced with intricate logistical obstacles.
