Unit 25 Project
Winner – Innovation in Construction
Vic's Crane & Heavy Haul, Inc. –(Rosemount, Minnesota, United States)
Flint Hills Resources chose Vic’s Crane & Heavy Haul to transport a 160-foot-long, 750,000-pound process vessel by barge and trailers to its Pine Bend Refinery in Rosemount, Minnesota. The two-year feat involved coordinating the loading and unloading of transport vehicles, permitting the load on highways, coordinating with utilities, and redesigning roads and bridges that were not designed for such a heavy load.
Bentley software allowed Vic’s Crane & Heavy Haul to detail every aspect of this USD 100 million project. Vic’s Crane & Heavy Haul used Bentley products including SUPERLOAD, AECOsim Building Designer, and ConstructSim for planning the equipment transport and installation and designing roads, bridges, and lifting equipment required to get the vessel to its final destination. Integrating models with the other engineering and construction firms involved allowed coordination and collaboration on the best approach to transport and installation.
