Mining Cell Disassembly and Transport Operations

Minería
We transported export mining cells weighing over 60 tons, including structures and equipment.
The client, a manufacturer of these mining cells, achieved for the first time the process of direct export upon request of a buyer. Until then, it was their clients who managed the exports. This milestone marked a new commercial channel for the company, allowing it to offer its products directly to the international market—and for us, it meant exploring a new route: from Peru to Brazil.

Project Development

The Challenge

Move 40-ton units with complex maneuvers and high risk due to their value: over one and a half million dollars. The cargo had to arrive in Brazil undamaged, with maximum precision at every stage.
The Challenge

The Strategy

Design the operation based on technical visits conducted by our multidisciplinary team, demonstrating field experience and allowing us to define each stage of the process with complete operational clarity.

Project Design

The process began with operational meetings to identify the lifting points and confirm that they were properly installed. While the mining cells were being built, we worked with plans until we could validate everything in the field and adjust the details.
The maneuvering and loading area was also evaluated, and with the final measurements, it was determined what would be packed, how to do it, and which equipment to use. Based on that, the economic proposal was created, and the suitable transportation units and shipping containers were selected.

The schedule coincided with a complex period: the holiday season. Even so, the team was ready to keep the operation moving, even on those days. Coordination with the client was constant, with the clear understanding that there was a firm commitment to delivery to their buyer. Before shipment, all packaging and filling was completed on time, using certified wooden boxes adapted to each component.
Planning
The operation began with the packaging of the mining cell parts in certified wooden boxes. The smaller parts were loaded into standard containers, while the larger ones were hoisted with a 50-ton telescopic crane and placed on flat racks on trucks.
The load was secured with straps, chains, and wooden blocks, validated by a specialist and certification included. The transport to the port was carried out with security escorts.
In parallel, customs documentation was managed. Although the red channel was activated, the inspection was resolved without issues and on time. The operation was successfully completed, meeting the defined timelines and costs.
Day 1: Loading of a 40-foot high container.
Day 2: Loading of 2 oversized flat racks with special cargo.
Day 3: Loading of a 20-foot container.

During the construction of the plant, the plans were updated step by step until reaching the final version of the mining cell. This allowed for accurate definition of the type and number of containers, as well as the trucks required for each shipment.
Constant blueprint reading and updating
The cell included over 100 smaller pieces, packed with special care to withstand a journey of nearly 60 days. A detailed packing list was prepared, and protective methods were applied to minimize any risk of damage.

Project Review

Carmen
We are increasingly convinced that when we carry out this type of operation, planning is essential, considering every detail. This is made possible by experience, as it allows for proper valuation, dimensioning of resources, and the correct equipment, which greatly reduces contingencies and additional costs.
