ALE Heavy Lift<\/a> has delivered a transformer, weighing 345t, to a power station in County Claire, Ireland. This is the largest transformer ever to be transported in Ireland.<\/p>\n

ALE was tasked with delivering the transformer, which was manufactured in Italy, to the substation within Moneypoint Power Station in County Claire, Ireland.<\/p>\n

\"ALE-Heavy-Lift-4\"<\/p>\n

Once the transformer had set sail on a heavylift vessel, ALE received it on a pontoon at Foynes Port, Ireland. The pontoon then sailed from Foynes Port, across the Shannon estuary to the power station jetty, where it was rolled off with SPMT on a ramp from the Ro-Ro pontoon.<\/p>\n

ALE then transported the transformer through Moneypoint Power Station using 16 axle lines of SPMTs in a configuration of 4 file 8 to the substation.\u00a0 Once on site, the transformer was offloaded onto jacks, jacked- down and installed to plinth.<\/p>\n

Nathan Clarke, Project Manager for ALE, said: \u201cTo have delivered a transformer of this size and weight in Ireland demonstrates our capabilities in transporting abnormal loads when faced with the logistical challenges of this part of Ireland. We offered a solution which enabled swift transfer from heavy lift vessel to plinth within 48 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst praising ALE, Robert le Roux of ESB International, said: \u201cALE performed very well, they delivered a faultless performance and acted professionally throughout the job.\u201d<\/p>\n
