The cargo was a23’ diameter turbine runner weighing 415,000 lbs and capable ofproducing over 500 megawatts of power for the Revelestoke 5 project.The runner was manufactured in Brazil by Voith Hydro Power andshipped to Portland, Oregon where it was transloaded to a FossMaritime barge for river transport to Pasco, WA. At the Port of Pasco,Lampson unloaded the Runner using a 4100 Ringer and assisted inloading it onto a Beam Type Trailer supplied and operated byIntermountain Rigging. Once the Runner was moved by road to a loadingarea above Grand Coulee Dam, Lampson transferred it to a 6-lineGoldhofer trailer for barge loading and subsequent shipping across LakeRoosevelt. From there it was barged up the Columbia River to theShelter Bay Ferry Launch, which is located about 45 Kilometers from itsfinal destination. Lampson coordinated the ro-ro procedure of the cargoat Shelter Bay and assisted Sheedy Drayage in the assembly of theirBeam Trailer. Once the trailer was assembled, Lampson transferred therunner to the trailer for the Canadian portion of the heavy haul. Oncetransported to the top of Revelstoke Dam, the cargo was againtransferred to the Goldhofer Trailer for a one mile trip down a 12%grade. In addition to the 12% grade, the trailer had to maneuverthrough a tunnel with less than two inches of clearance in some areas,before coming to its final resting place in the powerhouse.

Varied transportconfigurations from a simple 6 line truck powered Goldhofer to a twinPropelled 34 line heavy specification Goldhofer for the movement of a70M long module (photograph below). The project is located in verypicturesque country with fantastic beaches but the abundance ofcrocodiles make swimming an unwise choice.Jacking – A variety of jacking projects (Mining Shovels, Turbines etc.)have been undertaken Australia wide and requests for Lampson servicesof this type continue to increase in popularity.
