July 4 - Sonora has transported an oversize fibreglass structure from Saldus to Liepaja in Latvia.
The structure, which had the dimensions 17 m x 6.5 m x 4.3 m, was transported over 100 km by road - a journey that required a road survey and diligent planning due to the narrow city streets, explained Sonora.
The company was required to involve the authorities, arranging three police escorts and one security guard escort for the transport. Some of the road signs also had to be removed.
