Project cargo: oversize equipment delivered with zero penalties
ТОО «Mining Service Solutions KZ»
Challenge
High risk of downtime and penalties due to oversize constraints, route limitations and a complex permit package.
Solution
Route engineering, permits, escort and schedule/risk management with clear control points.
Results
Approach
Context
The client needed to transport oversize equipment for a mining site in Kazakhstan. Typical “project cargo” risks include route bottlenecks (bridges, clearances, temporary movement windows), a complex permit pack, and a high probability of downtime followed by contract penalties.
Task
- Deliver the oversize cargo as a controlled project with minimal schedule deviation.
- Remove permit/route risks before the first truck moves.
- Provide transparent status control and documentation at every checkpoint.
What we did
1) Pre-project engineering. Collected cargo parameters, loading/unloading conditions, site requirements and feasible movement windows.
2) Route survey. Selected the safest corridor considering clearance restrictions and time risks; fixed control windows at critical segments.
3) Permits. Prepared and coordinated the full permit/approval package to avoid road stops.
4) Equipment and securing. Selected the right special transport and designed the securing plan based on weight/geometry.
5) Escort and control. Organized escort and daily schedule control with rapid adjustments when external factors appeared.
6) Reporting. Delivered checkpoint updates and closing documents upon completion.
Outcome
- Incidents: 0
- Schedule deviation: ≤ 1 day
- Penalties: 0
Why it worked
Project logistics rewards teams that do the hard work before the move: route, windows, permits and role ownership. That turns the shipment into a managed project—not an “expedition with surprises”.
