Multimodal transportation for the boiler included road transportation to point of loading, where the route of transportation was agreed and confirmed with local Road Authorities; civil works on route were done using a 3D Scan for the most difficult parts of the route.

The boiler was delivered by sea to the trans-shipment port. For the final part of route, the boiler was loaded on to a special rail car with a capacity 120 tons.

For transportation by rail of such a heavy, oversized cargo it is necessary to fully comply with all the Russian Railway requirements.

All transport drawings of cargo and transport were prepared and also confirmed.
