October 21, 2016 - In the Venezuelan Orinoco Oil Belt, the expansion of La Cruz refinery is steadily progressing. As part of the Deep Conversion Project, the operating company Petroleos de Venezuela SA has been expanding the oil production in the state of Anzoátegui since 2014. Support has been provided by ALE, who recently added another 118-tonne module to supplement refinery construction activities using the Scheuerle self-propelled modular transporter (SPMT).

 

For transporting the 32-metre long, 11-metre wide and 8.5-metre high module, ALE relied on a total of 40 axle lines of the SPMT. Using a four-file combination, where two vehicles are arranged side-by-side, resulted in enough width to accommodate the module. ALE easily met length requirements by using two ‘spacers,’ intermediate sections integrated in longitudinal combinations.

 

Along with globally available fleets of vehicles, the TII Group also provides quality consulting and service options. As the joint sales and marketing company of Scheuerle, Nicolas and Kamag, TII Sales advises customers on-site and develops individual solutions. The service departments of the respective companies ensure problem-free operations and provide maintenance as well as vehicle overhauls around the world.
