    The heavy load took an unusual route to avoid as many bridges as possible, to reduce the risk of damage. This is with the exception of one point on the route where a temporary over-bridge had to be built, as seen in this video: ruclips.net/video/UYk5N92YJxM/видео.html
    Allelys transported the Siemens Energy generator, weighing 356 tonnes, from the Port of Ipswich to the Eye Synchronous Condenser Plant (read more: conradenergy.co.uk/energy-generation/grid-stability/yaxley-synchronous-condenser/ ) in Yaxley, Suffolk

      well if you have a massive abnormal load like that going though a town it will be planed like 3-6 months in advanced so that have time to plan. Plus a lot of them will already have experience in certain roles in the escort so they just keep the escort going.

    These guys are amazing, they delivered 4 massive transformers to the new New Deer Substation in Aberdeenshire when I was there. Large streches of the roads were A roads with trees everywhere and the last mile to the site entrance was a B road but still not a problem to these guys. There was 2 units at the front and 2 at the back as apparently transformers are heavier than generators and the extra power was necessary. Was a great piece of engineering and driving to witness.

      Looked like Smit Dutch trailers. I drove road trains in WA, needed RT's because when you came head to head with a 300 tonne mine dumper on a trailer, such fun. The load covered the whole width of the road, cars etc could drive under the load but not us. Not fun backing up several trailers. These enormous loads just drove off into the dust on side roads to mines. Hot and dry and great memories for a Kiwi, nothing like it in NZ.

    You would think connecting a major port to a power plant would be a large highway but it's the UK so centuries old narrow roads it is. Makes for entertaining content that's for sure!

    • @CobraEmergency
      @CobraEmergency  2 месяца назад +3

      It's funny you should say that! On the way into the port, the ship transporting the generator would have passed under the Orwell Bridge. A four lane highway/dual carriageway (A14) over the bridge and around the town, towards the Synchronous Condenser Plant.
      But because the port is centuries old (circa 625 AD), the town has been built around the port over a thousand years before the A14 became a major highway. The load arrived in the town at the port, and then made its way through the old town centre to the A14.
      There is a much larger and more modern port at the mouth of the River Orwell, the Port of Felixstowe, I'm not sure of the reasons for it not to have come in there but I am sure there were good ones.

    This looks more like Thunderbirds, all very well planned as usual with Allelys.

    I complain about how much Evri cost to deliver a parcel. I imagine this exercise was marginally more expensive...

      Evri is the cheapest but they loose items. I won't use them.

    Doing loads like that here in the U.S. is bad enough, I can’t imagine the problems you must encounter in G.B. With those narrow streets. Just moving that empty trailer and all its parts is a big job. Last thought…..after they made the turn I noticed the lead truck was left hand drive? This is jolly old England isn’t it?

    • @sortascouseace
      @sortascouseace 22 дня назад

      Yes, this is England, but some companies have left hand drive trucks as well, if they deliver to/from the continent as everywhere else in Europe except Ireland and Cyprus drive on the right with left hand drive vehicles like in the US.

    To transport such a heavy shipment, they had to mobilize a lot of people to help, a lot of police, and security personnel as well. It was really a heavy shipment.

      Good question, it made me realise that they do Super Load moves here in Victoria at night to minimise disruption to everybody. It also gives people the opportunity to spectate the move.

    I think it more likely that 356 tonnes was the weight of everything combined. Plenty for the two tractive units to push and pull.
