QATAR: Heavy-lift logistics company ALE has completed the delivery of 1 470 pre-tensioned concrete pedestal, girder, bridging and segment structures between 10 and 36 m long and weighing between 30 and 100 tonnes for the construction of the first phase of the Doha metro.
Over a period of 11 months ALE collected the structures from the fabrication area and transported them between 50 m and 8 km over ‘challenging roads’ to the installation points. This required the use of a 34-axle line of conventional trailers, three 10-axle extendable semi-trailers, six prime movers and 24-axle lines of self-propelled modular transporters.
