DB Schenker and its partners accomplished this project in +50,000 manhours without Loss-Time-Injury (LTI)

In a recent project, DB Schenker delivered critical power station equipment from China and Japan to Queensland/Australia.

The Toshiba-made power station equipment – made up of a heavy Transformer weighing 259 tonnes, a Generator at 262 tonnes, and its accessories, was successfully delivered to a Power Station in Central Queensland/Australia.

The DB Schenker Global Projects & Industry Solutions (GPIS) with its team of projects experts has a proven track record of “executing excellence” gained over many years on the most challenging and remote projects on the planet such as the Gorgon LNG project at Barrow Island, Australia, or South Flank Iron Ore in the Australian Outback.

DB Schenker Project Manager, Bernd Schuler says, “A difficult but ultimately rewarding project requiring out of the box thinking with engineered solutions we executed with our premium partners in 50,000 manhours incident and injury free to the full satisfaction of all stakeholders. Our end-to-end solution for the generator from Japan and transformer from China, bridging a travel distance of over 8,845km by heavy lift vessels to Australia, a barge transhipping operation at Gladstone port and the most challenging part for last – the 302 km on road requiring a specialised Girder trailer at transport length of 116m and weighing 665t to the power station in the Queensland hinterland”.
