Moving an entire paper mill from one part of the world to the other involved hundreds of moving parts, carriers, and major cooperation with our client and additional vendors. This project required extensive transport access across land, air, and sea.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;element_from_bottom&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]A critical component of this journey involved a specific piece of the paper mill being moved called the \u201cdrum pulper.\u201d This section of the mill handles pulping and screening in a one-scale paper pulper machine through continuous motion. This is a substantial piece of machinery with dimensions of more than five meters long (16.4 feet), 21 meters in diameter (70 feet), and roughly 60,000+ kgs (136,000+ pounds). This size is considered \u201cover-dimension\u201d in the transportation industry. That means, in most states, territories, and countries, it exceeds the legal size criteria and requires special services to ship.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Paper-Mill-Case-Study-Infographic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"qbutton  center default\" style=\"margin: 30px auto 0; \">Download the case study infographic<\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;70&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;70&#8243; background_image=&#8221;16697&#8243;][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645463091438{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff3e32;\">Planning a Heavy Transport Journey from the US to the Middle East<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23251&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1645463130051{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;]Once we understood the magnitude of this over-dimensional project, we began walking our client through our assessment process.
