UTC Behind the Scenes of a Record-Setting Move

In late 2015, Project Cargo Logistics specialists UTC Overseas of Houston, TX, successfully completed the delivery of a massive phase-shifting transformer from China to rural Utah. The move, over 16 months in the planning required ocean, rail and over-road heavy haul and in the process, set new records in New Mexico, Arizona and Utah for the heaviest loads ever permitted for over-road transport through those states. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how it was accomplished and the planning and logistics involved.

An incredible feat of engineering! Congratulations to all involved!

The last lead processing plant in the US was closed because of environmental issues a few years ago, today we probably have to import lead from china even to make our bullets. Transformer manufacturing requires a lot of dangerous chemicals. As is well known China's environmental rules are easier to work around, hence the corporations' profits are higher. It is almost mandatory that these factories be built very close to where these transformers will be installed. Power companies don't buy them very often. It takes several years to build the biggie ones so it takes a while to recoup your investment. Anyway, I hope you find this information interesting.

Rural Utah seems like a highly unlikely place to have needed such a massive unusual piece of equipment. What did I miss?

Uhhhh hello China?? Ya it doesn't seem to work. What's the return policy??

[@jamesbondeson669]

What are the MVA and high and low side voltage ratings for these transformers?

Lot of money spent in China using cheap labor. Apparently justifies large transportation expense.

[@bigredc222]

I'd be curious what those numbers are.
