Mammoet awarded contract for expansion on Texas Gulf Coast

Mammoet’s scope includes transporting several oversized and heavy pieces, including one piece weighing over 1 million lbs., reaching 160 ft. in length and 30 ft. in diameter. A portion of the transport services will include a 40-mile over-the-road transport to the construction site. Mammoet will engineer a tailor-made approach to overcome several route obstacles, such as overhead obstructions and bridges, in a timely fashion.

This project is one of several polymer production plant expansion projects announced in the United States. The wave of expansions and investments is a result of a growing global demand triggered by population growth in cities. It is estimated that North America will add around 11 billion pounds of annual capacity by the end of 2017 with most of that production taking place on the Gulf Coast.
