This is a full-day workshop and includes two networking coffee breaks and lunch.
Workshop overview
Morning Session
The first half of the workshop, presented in partnership with Mammoet, will focus on land-based transport. Mammoet’s team will provide insight into how project location influences and introduces cargo design requirements based on a project’s proximity to water. The team will discuss the transport solutions for, and adaptations to, the constraints imposed by project location. Topics include heavy haul road design requirements, temporary bridges, levee crossings, heavy transport on public roads, and how axle-loading calculations are dictated by cargo design for all scenarios.
Afternoon Session
The second half of the workshop, presented in partnership with the JSI-Alliance and SAL Engineering, provides a comprehensive insight into how heavy lift shipments are planned and successfully executed. It shall help the attendees to understand the roles of involved parties, their responsibilities but also their need for information. Technical concepts, calculation methods as well as rules and regulations will be discussed.
