Perkins STC contracted with a major power plant equipment manufacturer to transport one of its new power packages to a job site in South Dakota. The power package, consisting of a turbine skid came in at a hefty 372,000 lbs and its 366,000 lb generator had been barged up the Mississippi River from the manufacturer's Houston, TX facility to a privately owned barge-unloading site in Rosemount, MN.
When a nuclear plant supplier needed "Absolutely, Positively" assurance for their outage at a nuclear power plant, they turned to Perkins Specialized Transportation Contracting.
Since the power plant was located on an island, hauling to the site would require crossing a mile-long causeway bridge. Several firms were contacted to haul the 110-ton component, but none could obtain hauling permits. When Perkins got the call, the supplier had been convinced that only a costly and time-consuming hauling/barging combination effort would work.
