EXPC — Extreme Project Cargo

Cambodia’s Heaviest Transformer Installation

EXPC Successfully Delivered and Installed Cambodia's Heaviest Transformer

EXPC Project Development Co., Ltd. successfully completed the transportation and installation of a 186-ton power transformer for EDC (Electricité du Cambodge), marking one of the most significant heavy-lift logistics operations ever executed in Cambodia.

As the heaviest transformer transported and installed in the country's history at the time, the project demanded meticulous planning, specialized equipment, and seamless coordination across multiple countries and transportation stages.

Cross-Border Heavy-Lift Transportation from Shanghai to Cambodia

The project involved the transportation of a 186-ton transformer from Shanghai, China, through Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, before reaching its final destination in Cambodia.

Managing a cargo of this scale required comprehensive logistics planning, including port operations, route engineering, transportation assessments, and installation preparation. Every stage was carefully coordinated to ensure the safe movement of the transformer while maintaining project timelines and operational requirements.

Project Scope

  • Transportation and installation of a 186-ton transformer
  • Cross-border logistics coordination
  • Port management and cargo handling
  • Heavy-haul transportation
  • On-site positioning and installation

Specialized Transportation and Installation Solution

Upon arrival in Cambodia, EXPC managed the complete transportation and installation process using specialized heavy-haul equipment and engineering solutions designed specifically for oversized and overweight cargo.

The project required strict control of load distribution, transportation stability, site accessibility, and installation procedures. Detailed technical assessments and operational planning enabled the transformer to be delivered and positioned safely at its final location.

In addition to transportation activities, EXPC was responsible for on-site installation, ensuring the equipment was accurately positioned and prepared for commissioning.

Key Challenges

  • Extreme cargo weight and dimensions
  • Cross-border transportation coordination
  • Route and load-bearing assessments
  • Safe handling and installation requirements
  • Tight operational and project schedules

Safety, Coordination, and Execution Excellence

Heavy-lift projects of this magnitude require more than specialized equipment. They depend on precise execution, continuous supervision, and close coordination among all parties involved.

Throughout the project, EXPC's engineering and operations teams maintained strict safety standards and carefully monitored every stage of transportation and installation. From port management and inland transportation to final positioning, all activities were executed in accordance with rigorous operational procedures.

Safety Priorities

  • Comprehensive risk assessment
  • Strict transportation procedures
  • Continuous site supervision
  • Load stability control
  • Safe installation execution

Delivering Results Through Integrated Project Logistics

With a total project value of USD 370,000, the scope included port management, inland transportation, and on-site installation services.

Project Value Breakdown

  • Port Management: USD 70,000
  • Land Transportation: USD 180,000
  • On-site Installation: USD 120,000

Total Project Value: USD 370,000

Despite the significant logistical complexity and weight-related challenges, EXPC successfully completed the project safely and efficiently, demonstrating its capability to execute demanding heavy-lift and project logistics operations throughout Southeast Asia.
