Wirtz was in charge of the full logistical
operation. Six months before the effective start of the
operation we did a full site survey. As soon as all preparations
had been finished at Ghent, Wirtz arranged for transport to the
Wharf. The splitter column was cut in half at the production floor,
enabling road transport from the Ruhr-area to Ghent.
Upon arrival, Wirtz arranged a crew for the erection
of the splitter column in three stages. After the bottom
part, the top column was put in place place. We used
a 700 tonnes mobile crane for lifting the column and
a 200 tonnes crane as a tail crane.
Wirtz does not only focus on the port handling, but
takes care of all special handlings and logistics.
