5K Logistics Completes Texas Wartsila Project

5K Logistics (Philadelphia US) completed a large generation set project for Wartsila in Greenville Texas. 5K Logistics arranged and managed the shipment of 3 Wartsila engine generation sets from Finland to Greenville Texas. Wartsila is a Finland manufacturer of large utility sized power generation engines and systems.
 
Paul McGrath, President 5K Logistics said each generator set weighed 300,000 lbs and its dimensions were 42’ x 11’ x 14’. The generator sets were offloaded in Houston, railed to Greenville and super heavy hauled to the jobsite at the GEUS power generation station in Greenville Texas. A 240 ton and 175 ton crane was used in combination to lift the generator sets from the rail to Goldhofer trailers and then to the ground at the jobsite. The jack & slide technique was used to set the generator sets into their final resting place.
 
In addition, there were 13 containers and 13 flatbeds of break bulk accessories from Finland. 5K Logistics also handled the shipment of US and Mexican supplied parts to the project. 5K Logistics is one of the few Global Logistics Suppliers approved by Warsila for North American projects. As a Wartsila Global Logistics Supplier, 5K Logistics imports and exports equipment and materials involving North America suppliers and projects worldwide.
