1. New World Record with
SPMTs from SCHEUERLE
With the transport of a 5,000 t evaporation plant on SCHEUERLE SPMTs in
Saudi Arabia, Almajdouie Logistics has secured an entry in the Guinness
Book of World Records.
World record with SPMTs from SCHEUERLE. The
5,000 t evaporator from Doosan transported by
Almajdouie in Saudi Arabia.
The largest evaporation plant in the world, produced by the South Korean
manufacturer Doosan Heavy Industries, is approximately the size of an
entire football pitch and weighs about the same as 5,000 medium-sized
cars. It is just one of a total of 8 facilities which were shipped from the
factory in South Korea to Ras Al Khair Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Upon its arrival in Dammam, 172 axle lines on SCHEUERLE SPMTs
belonging to transportation specialists Almajdouie were waiting to take
delivery. Almajdouie’s main scope of work was to receive the evaporator
units at the Ras Al Khair jetty from the delivery vessel, roll off onto shore,
transport and finally position onto thesite foundation.

2. Altogether, 688 tyres began to move in order to lift the 4,891 t load from
the pontoon. The final destination of the 124 m long, 34 m wide and 12 m
high installation is the "Ras Al Khair", sea water desalination facility - a
distance of 2 km - which is operated by the "Saline Water Conversion
Corporation (SWCC)" in Saudi Arabia. The US $ 1.5 billion dollar project is
designed to produce enough drinking water to supply around 3.5 million
people. All participants in the project have been preparing for this transport
for many months. A masterpiece of logistics that could have only been
realized through the perfect cooperation of all those involved in the
project.Totally 5 evaporators of same weight and dimension have been
moved successfully by now and Almajdouie expects to move the remaining
three evaporators by first quarter of 2013.

Almajdouie company has now secured an entry in the Guinness Book of
World Records as the first private Saudi company with this record-breaking
road transport. The transportation was being carried out by two arms of
