In many ways, the design of this vessel was influenced by advice from the STG team. The consulting engineers responsible for the project wanted to know the largest possible diameter that could be moved from Pune, central India. Working closely with our Indian partners, STG came up with the answer although, strangely enough, this caused by a low bridge not far from Wissington itself.
In due course, STG were awarded the transport contract itself and, here seen being transferred from the horizontal to the vertical, the first section of the vessel will be lowered into the framework shown in the background – a second, identical vessel, to fit on top, followed 24 hours later.
