Prangl realises bimodal transport logistics in Port of Vienna

A combination of road-waterway:  Prangl will accomplish the export of concrete segments for the use in wind power plants to Germany in Port of Vienna

With a bimodal logistics- and loading concept Prangl Gesellschaft m.b.H. will make a contribution to increased sustainability. Road kilometres are reduced to a minimum which equals a significant decrease in CO2 emissions. Drop-deck trailers are used to transport the different concrete segments from the plant in Burgenland to the Port of Freudenau. Every week 1-3 barges with a cargo of up to 65 concrete segments (up to 2.000 freight tons) leave the port.

Handling is effected with a 250 ton crawler crane with a main boom of 42,7 m. The concrete segments with a unit weight of up to 51,8 tons are loaded either directly from the trucks to the barges or via an interim storage space. In order to keep up the planned round trips, loading of the barges needs to be effected within two work days. This requires a two-shift operation as three ships leave the port in export each week. In addition the complete transport logistics was adjusted to fit two time slots with regard to delivery.

Up to 16 trucks per day move between the concrete plant and the Port of Freudenau each day. The three-axle and four-axle tractor units together with their four-axle trailers reach a maximum length of 30 metres, maximum widths of 5 meters and maximum heights of 4,4 m.

Together with all authorities and involved parties best practice solutions were developed for the planned transport routes. Thanks to the cooperation of all parties, the Prangl experts were able to offer and then also implement a unique logistics- and handling concept to their customers
