By 17 de July de 2025News, Projects

We have completed the “Huelva FORCE – HU4” project, which involved the transportation of 40 units – 6,400 cbm and 925 tons – including 6 heavy lift units (Cold box and Exchanger) with maximum unit dimensions of 31 meters long, 6.15 meters wide, 6 meters high and 184 tons in weight, from Ras Al Khaimah (United Arab Emirates) to the Port of Huelva (Spain).
This transport was part of the modernization of an air separation plant in Huelva, a key project to improve the plant’s efficiency and capacity.

One of the project’s most notable milestones was the delivery of the main unit, with a transport convoy 91.54 meters long, 6.15 meters wide, 7 meters high and weighing 350 tons – the heaviest load ever to cross the Rio Tinto Bridge.

The operation required exceptional coordination with port authorities, police escorts, engineering teams and specialized transport configurations (including SPMTs). Key infrastructure adaptations were made to ensure safe passage, both on public roads and within the client’s premises.
