Total Movements member to The Heavy Lift Group in India, moved 311 MT Water Flash Drum for One of the Largest Petroleum Refinery in India.
This one was about moving a 311 MT Water Flash Drum, spread over 3,200+ FRT, to one of the largest petroleum refineries in India – a task that demanded more than just logistics. It required resilience, precision, and the collective spirit of everyone involved.
From the supplier’s factory to the refinery foundation, this drum travelled by road, by barge, and through challenging terrain. Our scope covered:
– Road movement to the nearest jetty
– Rolling the drum safely onto a barge
– Coastal transport to the closest port near the refinery
– Final inland delivery and placement on its foundation
This wasn’t a routine move. It tested our planning, adaptability, and calmness under pressure.
– Heavy monsoon rains and foul weather pushed us to strengthen safety protocols
– Tidal limitations at both ports demanded precise timing
– MWS approvals needed thorough preparation and coordination
– Road infrastructure challenges and ODC restrictions required route intelligence and careful execution
And through it all, our teams ensured that every moment of the journey stayed safe and on schedule
Against the odds, the flash drum reached its destination smoothly, safely, and right on time.
A heartfelt thank you to our client for believing in us, and sincere appreciation to every stakeholder, partner, and team member who made this movement a success.
