The turbine which was transported had the following measurements: length of 106 meters and 355 tons. Because the content as a whole vehicle and cargo is so heavy, totaling 680 tons, it was pointed out by the specialized team that in some places with bridges along the route do not support the total weight, the route between the 27th and 29th took place during the period of morning, from Porto do Itaqui, São Luís, to Santa Rita, a municipality close to the capital, where it will be parked and will continue overnight.
Equipment to assist the load to cross the turbine over bridges leaving the Port of Itaqui in São Luís
It is known that the load contains a high weight, and that some bridges do not support this weight, so the team uses a resource called “over-bridges”, a piece of equipment that was mounted on the bridges to move the turbine, which would have installation duration of more than 5 hours.
