Transformator Transport Bleiswijk 09-2009

(See below for english)
Laatste deel van het transport van drie bij Smit Transformatoren in Nijmegen gefabriceerde transformatoren. In dit laatste deel moest de A12 en de spoorlijn overgestoken worden. Om de spoorlijn over te kunnen steken moest een special, onderheide, overbrugging gemaakt worden. De 'oprit' van deze brug kon natuurlijk niet gemaakt worden omdat dan de A12 in de weg zou zitten. Om een tijdelijke oprit te maken zou de snelweg vrij lang afgesloten moeten worden. Daarom is er voor gekozen om de wagen waarop de trafo stond, zelf ook op een wagen te laden. Hiermee kon in een keer het hoogte verschil overwonnen worden en hoefde de snelweg allen voor het echte oversteken even afgesloten te worden. Zodra de snelweg overgestoken wass kon hij weer open, behalve de rechterbaan. De bovenste waen kon zo de brug oprijden. Zodra die goed en wwel weggereden was kon de snelweg weer even afgesloten worden voor de volgende trafo. Terwijl de lege wagen terug reed, kon de nieuwe al weer oversteken. Voor het oversteken van de laatste trafo moest nog een tijd gewacht worden omdat tot de zon op was zodat een ingehuurd vliegtuig nog foto's kon maken.

Last part of the transport of three transformers made by Smit in Nijmegen. In this last part they had to cross the highway A12 and the traintrack parallel to the highway. The traintrack is at a higer level then the highway. To bridge the traintrack they had already piles drilled in the ground and they will stay there (forever?). Big steel layers were used to cross the track. They could build a ramp an the highway to come to the level of the traintrack "bridge" but then the highway should be closed for several hours. So that is way they used a two layer "car" (two SMTP's on top of each other). In this way the difference in height was solved directly. They highway was closed, they crossed the hightway and directly after that, the highway could be opened again, except the right lane. Then they drove the top SMTP directly on the traintrack bridge. For the next transformer they closed the highway again and while the empty ower part drove back, the next one could already cross over. The last crossing was late because they had to wait for the sun to come up so a hired plane could make some pictures.

Why did they need to put on trailer on top of another?

Hi @cdarting91 ,

Please look at the description with the video (and also my reply on earlier comment)

They needed to overcome quickly the difference in height between the highway and the traintrack.

I'm confused. Why is each transformer on a truck on top of another truck?

[ReneLaan]

@beeble2003

The highway is parrelel to the train track but the traintrack is 2 meters higher. They could build a ramp but than the highway should be closed for several hours, which was not allowed. So by putting one truck on the other, they could cross the highway (closed for only 10-15 minutes) and directly drive the top truck on and over the temp bridge over the train track.

VERY IMPRESSIVE

How much power there is on those self-moving trailers ?

[HNigran]

Yo dawg, we heard you liked transporters so we hooked you up with a transporter on your transporter so you can transport while you transport.
