May 10, 2022

The Express Global Logistics (EXG) team, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, along with their partner, successfully transported one of 30 Orthotropic Steel Decks (OSD) for the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) Project. MTHL will be the longest sea bridge in India connecting Mumbai to Navi Mumbai near Nhava Sheva.

EXG, along with their partner, moved the heaviest OSD among the 30, weighing an incredible 2652 tons.

This makes it the longest ever cargo moved on land in India to date.

The steel deck was moved to the Heavy Civil Infrastructure IC site in Sewri, Mumbai.

Moving cargo this large within the stipulated deadlines, required meticulous planning by the EXG engineering team mapping the entire route and path to the inch.

The OSD measured L 180 m x W 15 m x H 7.5 m. The cargo was transported on:

Front Convey (60 axles)

16 axle x 3 line (48 axles)
