Quality Freight Group and TransGroup Bridge the Atlantic |
 |
Quality Freight Group has played its part in the construction of the new 395million Euro second terminal at Dublin Airport. Working in partnership with TransGroup, they have overseen the shipment of 19 Passenger Boarding Bridges along with their component parts from Utah in the USA to the airport. The project began in June this year and will continue until October with TransGroup’s client JBT one of the world’s leading suppliers of PBBs. The units are 21m long, 3.7m wide x 3.7m high and weigh 28 tons each. The bridges were transported by road from Utah to the US port of Portsmouth, where they were transhipped under TransGroup supervision. |

The bridges were then shipped on the ACL service to Liverpool before being transferred by crane, under Quality Freight UK supervision, from ship’s mafis to Quality Freight’s 60’ rear wheel steering Trailers. Quality Freight Group then handled the onward shipment to Dublin, clearing it through Irish Customs, arranging the necessary out of gauge transit permits and delivering the bridges with escort to Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport. Earlier this year Quality Freight Group delivered a consignment of seven out of gauge pieces for TransGroup – a complete water treatment plant, to the Merck Sharp and Dohme’s new facility at Carlow in Ireland. Quality Freight Group and TransGroup are both members of the Project Professionals Group (PPG) - a group of like-minded Project transport providers. QF Group MD Trevor Dumbleton and QF UK MD Sebastian Gardiner travelled in May this year to the AWEA Chicago Wind Energy Expo, where TransGroup had a large booth and invited PPG members to join them. |
