A 350-ton (226-tonnes) floating crane loaded the equipment onto a 61 m x 18 m inland deck barge. Once the cargo was secured on stands and beams, the barge began its journey up the Potomac River utilising Stevens Towing’s push boat Island Fox to a roll off location outside Alexandria.
At its final location, the equipment was rolled off by SPMTs and placed into storage.
