Houston, October 2017- At this years Breakbulk Conference 2017, Fracht North America hosted it’s 2nd Transport Engineering Workshop, this time with a focus on Modular Transportation. Presenters included industry experts Andy Young from Bechtel, Mark Lockwood from Fracht, Toby Allen from ALE, Roberto Frigeni from Roll Group and Vince Schu from Ceres Barge Co.
A key take-away from this workshop is that Fracht’s and its partners’ fresh ideas and out of the box thinking, allow them to meet the ever changing needs of their customers.
The workshop gave important insight into modular design, constructibility and the importance of strategic partnerships during
logistical execution of over sized modules. Bechtels’ Andy Young, presented their Flex Sim technology to simulate heavy modular projects using Monte Carlo Simulation. It is through this type and other types of technologies that allow companies like these and providers like Fracht, the ability to find the safest and most optimal design for safe transit.
Over 80 participants attended this workshop, with logistics specialists from EPC rms such as Fluor, KBR, Bechtel, Chiyoda, CB&I, Linde, Wood Group. OEM’s such as Siemens, Vogt, Voith, Macchi and more were also part of the list of attendees. Fracht continuously sets the benchmark by hosting seminars like these, which connect professionals in the industry, expand the knowledge and raise industry awareness. The Fracht Team is already working on its 3rd Workshop which will be announced in the next weeks and hosted Q2 of 2018.
Congratulations on a successful workshop, many good presentations and useful discussion.
