Wangfoong Transportation Limited, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) for Hong Kong, reported about several recentdemanding heavy cargo lift and transport operations.
Due to site and time constraints, Wangfoong collected the generator set by derrick barge at midnight with close supervision by the Marine Department. The swinging situation increased the difficulties on the lifting. Two tug boats were used to stabilize the lifting operation from upper floors to the barge.
Scopes included:
Commodity: Grinder machine with no package
Weight: 47 tons
Dimension: 17.31 x 3.018 x 3.645 m
Wangfoong arranged another night and convoy operation for land transportation of this over-weight and over-sized grinder machine. Two units of heavy lift lorry cranes were used to perform a tandem lifting. A pair of tailormade spreader beams were required to cater for the low headroom during lifting, in order to minimize the lifting height and avoid lifting gears touching the grinder machine body.
Scopes included:
Commodity: Waste Heat Boiler (Boiler Block)
Module 1: 17.47 x 5.02 x 4.31 m, 57 tons
Module 2: 16.95 x 5.02 x 3.65 m, 39.4 tons
Module 3: 16.95 x 5.02 x 4.3 m, 72.8 tons

Wangfoong (Hong Kong) collected the cargo by crane barge alongside a China feeder vessel arriving at Hong Kong Port, and delivered the cargo to the site for unloading. Temporary traffic arrangement and escort trucks were arranged for over-size cargo land transportation. Due to limited space at the site entrance, Wangfoong had thorough planning including a site visit and turning point analysis to ensure smooth delivery by six steerable axles vehicle.
