Delivery of the last item of the Volgograd Deep Conversion Complex

/in ,

On December 10, 2014 the last item of the Volgograd Deep Conversion Complex project was delivered by ALTIUS to the site at Lukoil Refinery in Volgograd (Russia).

This unit represented the last of twelve project cargo shipments from Korea.

All these pieces were transported on river barges to Volgograd from Novorossiysk, where they had been previously unloaded from a heavy-lift vessel.

Discharging operations from the barge were performed on a RO-RO basis, using conventional trailers, and also on a LO-LO basis with the assistance of a mobile crane operating from shore.

The barge's river voyage along the Volga-Donn Channel was completed just two days prior to the closing of this channel due to the winter season, when the river traffic is stopped from December to March.

Some difficulties arose during the last land transportation of these pieces to the refinery mainly due to frozen roads, snow and extreme temperatures of up to -20º C.

The end result of this effort was the successful completion of all shipments in this project on time, with no damages or incidents and to the full satisfaction of both Lukoil and Tecnicas Reunidas-Initec.

Possibly the most important aspect of this project was the level of cooperation, patience and teamwork achieved to execute the job.

With this last delivery, ALTIUS completes the transportation of all the oversized and heavy-lift equipment necessary for the upgrade of Lukoil Refinery in Volgograd, which were shipped from several origins such as Korea, India, Spain, Italy, Turkey and UAE.

On December 10, 2014, we delivered the last piece to the Lukoil refinery in the transport project "Volgograd Deep Conversion Complex" in Volgograd (Russia).

It was the last piece of the last shipment, which totaled 12 pieces, all from Korea.

All the pieces were loaded at the Korean port of Masan and transported to Volgograd by barge from the point where they had previously been transhipped from a heavy-lifter ship.

The barge unloading operations were carried out by RO-RO operations using conventional trucks, and in addition by LO-LO operations thanks to a mobile land crane.

River transports, which passed the Volga-Donn Canal, were completed only two days before the closure of the canal due to the winter season, which was scheduled to shut down traffic on the Volga-Donn Canal between December 2014 and March 2015.

Some difficulties were encountered during the overland transports of these parts to the refinery due to icy roads, heavy snowfall and extreme cold, reaching -20°C in the last transports.

The end result of this effort was the successful execution of all transports of this project under our scope of work - on time - without damage or incident to the full satisfaction of both parties, i.e. Lukoil and Tecnicas Reunidas - Initec.
Perhaps the most important aspect of this project was the level of cooperation, patience and teamwork required to execute the work.

With this latest delivery, ALTIUS completes the transport of all the large and heavy equipment for the upgrade of the Lukoil Refinery in Volgograd, with shipments coming from various origins, such as Korea, India, Spain, Italy, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.
