Project Description

This challenging project at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant involved the transport and assembly of ten (10) TransNuclear, Inc. horizontal storage modules. Using a 300-ton crane, the 50 pieces of reinforced concrete, weighing more than 2,000 tons in total, were offloaded from railcar and set onto an eight-line Goldhofer self-propelled, hydraulic platform trailer unit. The pieces were transported approximately one-half mile to the assembly site. Thereafter, using Rigging International's jacking trolley, the pieces were sucessfully assembled and set to very close tolerances.
