These truckers have been chosen to embark on a massive 9 day journey hauling a huge 181 tonne switchroom. Can they navigate the narrow streets and low bridges and deliver the cargo in one piece?

I used to go on ride alongs with my grandmother as a kid. My grandma was a pilot car driver and I remember on one occasion we were in the convoy of a triple wide house and we were behind the first section escorting the second part of the 3 piece house and the lead pilot car didn't have his hight pole set to the max hight of the house and it ripped out the power pole and sent live power lines all over the road and our vehicles and grandma saying to me don't even touch my seat belt as the power line was dancing on our truck smacking the windshield. It took 11 hrs before we could move again and 8hrs before I was able to get out of my grandma's truck to go pee. I was only 9yrs old. But I loved those trips with my grandmother and talking to all the drivers over the CB radio.

As a truckie I do enjoy seeing what's possible to move on road....but for some I just don't get why stuff that are basically kit buildings can't be transported broken down and built on site...

@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13 Ай бұрын

Typically they are... but I guess the math was done on this particular project and a decision was made to assemble the entire thing at the factory and then transport it to the operating site. It usually comes down to whether it's feasible to transport it completed in the first place, then decisions are made on whether it's more cost effective to transport the thing completed, or send it in bits and then they'll have to send an entire crew to build it on the site. If it can be done without sending out the whole engineering and assembly crew, just due to how expensive labour is in Australia, it almost always makes more sense to build it in the factory and move it the hard way. They'll push the possibilities of what they can transport to the absolute limit, in order to avoid having the manufacturing people away from the factory. Especially if it comes from overseas, because you're going one hell of a mighty struggle finding the people with the skills to subcontract a job like that out and then you've got to factor in the potential for things going wrong to compound exponentially, with each individual piece that needs transporting. Too many things have to show up at the right time, in good condition and a hold up with a crew on site can easily multiply the cost of assembly and any flows on to their next job will be added to the invoice at the end of the day. So a project like this has to be planned out, often years in advance, and all of those risk factors have to be weighed up against each other before it's even started. I've always found those things that go on behind the scenes absolutely fascinating and it's amazing what humans are capable of when highly skilled people work together under effective leadership.

I was thinking along the same lines. Wouldn't it have been easier to just build it at the site instead?

@mathewmutero251 27 күн бұрын

They said it took 2 years' worth of planning. They must have considered on-site construction. But hey, imagine Boeing or Airbus having to build an aeroplane on-site 😁. Maybe their options were limited.

These switch rooms are built and fully tested before transport to site. Less errors and less time in site. Called an excuse. This is a gas insulated SF6 high voltage indoor unit. It is assembled under near sterile conditions.

@Serge1074 Ай бұрын

I find it hard to understand why something this massive can’t be built on Site, considering the possibility of damage during transport due to the tight tolerance specified by the Engineers, if someone could give an answer I would appreciate it,,,,thanks for sharing By the way, great job by the Crew involved, it would have been a great sense of satisfaction at the end of a well done job.

That internal SF6 Gas Insulated substation will be able to replace that outdoor yard! It basically is a substation just in time. Time on site much reduced.

They had 80 km to go and max speed of 30 kph but they made it. Dont get me wrong, this would not be easy to do. But every turn is dramatized. One or two flat tyres and they could not have any more? Worried water may have leaked in storm. Bad builders if they cant build a waterproof building. Every one of these jobs gets there with 30 seconds left. Great for viewer content. PS i wont be back.

Why not just ask the other truck driver to move his truck???

having to find the driver might have been not an option with them being on a tight schedule (as the driver would have definitely noticed them if he was nearby).
