- This video was recorded on January 7th at about 12:10am on Whitemud Drive at the 50th Street intersection in Edmonton Alberta. The petrochemical splitter is heading to Heartland Petrochemical Complex, which is currently being built outside Fort Saskatchewan Alberta.
This particular splitter separates propylene from propane, which is then processed into a recyclable plastic known as polypropylene.
Major Contractors for this Job are:
Dacro Industries - www.dacro.com/
Inter-pipeline - www.interpipeline.com/
Mammoet Canada - www.mammoet.com/
Superb camera work. Most others would be freaking out and turning the camera back and forth.
And women, they always scream at something to the point of audio distortion
I’m guessing this is someone involved in the process I’m sure they don’t move one this big often but it’s not irregular if you make them haha. Usually happy to see them leave by the time they’re done
petrochemicals are ruining our world
I know a guy who does a lot of filming for them, probably him... Ryan is an amazing photographer.
Glad the uploader didn't dub in idiotic music an cover the natural sounds.
Boss says to maintenance man " check tire pressure before we load"
Two days later "tire pressure good"...
Boss man says Rotate the tires , Maintenance man says give me a week
As a tire man who has had opportunities to work on such platforms if you end up "touching" a large amount of those tires they would just flip the unit.. but yea no not a day not two try like a solid week of just changing tires and literally hating your life. FUN!!!!
😃
@Koosha Las Vegas Ex Muslim Maybe he can change the tyre's !
I think they have tire pressure monitoring systems now but in the old days, yep. Imagine using a hand pump....
Imagine rolling by a sign that says “During inclement weather, tire chains are mandatory”.
Rumor has it they're still in route.
Still faster than the LRT.
kkkkk I used to have no problem riding LRT that was between 2005-2006
Whats crazy about the lrt was 2 seasons ago i was working a job for cn rail and i managed to see them bring in the new lrt "trains" and they are pretty cool looking but i have yet to see it on the track
hahaha
@@carlmadsen5734 nice seeing those Canadian cab units
i was working just down the street when they were getting it ready to go hours earlier, still amazes me how big that damn thing was
Was there, standing on the roadside after getting a call from a buddy at the fab shop. Not the first time I've managed to be on hand for one of those moves, either there or on 99th St. just N of Whitemud. Most of the 99th St. loads were headed up to Ft. Mac. Once upon a time, all the trucks would have been from Premay. Some other people probably remember when they were Alberta's own heavy-haul outfit. There's a video of one Premay move kicking around here somewhere. The loads just keep getting larger. Mammoet certainly have an enormous amount of equipment and plenty of experience to get the job done, as well as operating in many countries. But once upon a time we did these types of moves using Alberta-based contractors, and they were also impressive to see at work.
I never cease to be amazed at what construction people can do.
"We Brake for No One" on the back.
Made in Alberta move by albertans and it's going to be used in Alberta amazing job
Well, the transport was done by Mammoet and that's a Dutch company but they have local branches all over the world.
Yeah, but the 16 million D batteries that power this thing are produced in China.
What was the company name that built it
I am proud to Mighty Alberta.
@@vannorman1116 Dacro Industries on 51 avenue in Edmonton.
I actually saw this on my way to bring my gf home on the white mud. I was honestly shook when I saw it passing by. crazy how all these years later I come across this on TH-cam lol
Incredible shot, a massive move by Mammoet
My gawd, that thing is massive! I used to be a draftsman for a steel fabricator, and we did make large items, but this was enormous! Great video, and was awesome to watch. Thanks!
A friend who worked in the electrical controls business gave me an inside tour of a refinery in Burnaby when it was in shutdown. Inside a cracking Tower was a second most interesting thing I saw there. The most interesting though was this Platinum mesh screen that they used for Catalyst in some of the reactions. Judging by looking feel alone I would have assumed it was a very fine silvery silk material, this stuff was apparently worth about $20,000 per square meter and this was back in the 90s
The great thing about the oilsands is all that stuff has to be moved around and assembled in Alberta. The Lng port they are making for north Bc was all pre made in Australia.
Despite what Trudeau thinks these are jobs of real value and it’s important we stop letting them slip away from this country. The service sector just not provide the quality jobs these type of industries do.
The number of places in North America where you can build something like this you can put on one hand. If you go and read the book on constructing the Mount Palomar 200 inch telescope, there's a section that they did just on the Horseshoe Mount built by GM that weighed approximately 1.2 million pounds and was so large that they could not have it entirely inside and one arm of the Horseshoe had to be outside the storage area undercover. And they still managed to machine it to tolerance of two 100s of an inch edge to edge
I mean an error GM did not make the Horseshoe Mountain it was General Electric / Westinghouse
Broker: we can do $2,700 on this load
Maybe to just get hooked up!
Then it would be 2700 per hour
🤣🤣🤣
This is an awesome comment. The OP is clearly a dispatcher or logistics sales-person and has dealt with idiots trying to cut down the transport company bidding.
I am a Class 1 AND have done dispatching for decades. I HATE the industry. It is so conniving and dishonest. State side AND in Canada. Power only, FTL, LTL, jeep & buggy, remote wheel decks, trains, tankers, drop decks, chassis & sea can, etc. Everyone is a greedy idiot. Always undercutting the value of the workers to save thwir company every penny.
I’d love to hear the technical reason why that thing couldn’t have been made in pieces and assembled on site.
It just seems insane to have to move such a large single piece of anything that size so far that you need that many tractors and trailers to move it.
Also.... every single person involved in moving that thing is a badass!!! From the drivers to the spotter to the riggers, planners, engineers.... EVERYONE deserves a friggen medal for moving that damn thing.... absolutely amazing feat
it's faster in a shop and cheaper
Likely is a pressurized vessel. To build in a controlled shop environment would be faster and safer and have better quality control.
Pressure vessels have to be fabricated under specific engineering standards which can rarely be achieved in an operating plant/facility. Sometimes large vessels are constructed on site in new facilities which do not have the same hazards and limitations as operating plants.
Spectacular video. This thing is massive! Thanks for sharing I liked and subbed to your channel 😃👍
What I've learned from this video: Canada measures their street lights by how big the tank vessels are layed on their side and sitting on wheeled platforms.
Two tractors pulling, 4 pushing. Impressive.
Thanks for posting!! Awesome dude
Truly a very impressive move!!!!
Much better camera work than the videos I have seen on news agencies. Good job.
I missed this! I was on the Whitemud at the same time but at the west end...
Amazing work looks like fun
the little cab on the back of the 'LOAD' on the last set of megawheels, probably is the command centre for the last several pusher trucks. Up at the front, probably is the steering control/cornering department. (old trucker)
I remember this they had to take power lines down wasn't a problem at first until it was delayed getting here traffic was crazy for weeks lol
2 double 26 line intercombi trailers with 2 pullers and 4 pushers. "Weighing over 800 ton, and spanning over 300 ft." 52 axles 16 tires per axle would be 832 tires then add in the trucks for a total of 892 tires. Wow
I'll bet you all the tire guys that watched this video got a woody :)
No way I'm walking beside that thing.
confidence in the process
I love watching this kind of videos
One word only. Incredible.
It is some Big Rocket, nice catch!
They're going to have one hell of time ordering at the McDonald's drive thru.😆🍔🍟
LOL!! That was brilliant!! 🤪 lol!
Best Regards!
Bruce.
Its tim hortons here
With the professionals at mammoet, they wouldn't touch the curbs.👍👍⛟
🤘🤘🤘
They park that oversized load across the street!!!
Needs the bumper sticker
"WE BRAKE FOR NOBODY"
Millions and millions of dollars. Incredible. Good video!
"Yo we gotta haul this load today".
"Ok"
"BUT, we're gonna need 6 trucks to do it..."
Finally an underground bunker big enough for me to be comfortable 😆
0:10 who knew one truck can pull this 2:16 i guess i was worng
That's one helluva job to move !
Awesome camera work. One problem, that’s not what we ordered. Can you take it back?🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit there’s more rubber there then a condom factory
2:43 WE BRAKE FOR NOBODY
GREAT THINKERS GOD BLESS U ALL
When I worked in automotive engineering, we used plenty of polypropylene for parts.
And I have trouble finding one guy that can drive a truck for the summer.
The guys in those trucks have years of experience and worked their way up to moving those types of loads, you'd have to pay a lot to get one of them for your summer gig.
I remember seeing this on my travel's for work.
I can probably walk faster but one of the most interesting videos I've ever seen
That snow is go to be making that road slick
Amazing
Reminds me of the "Mammoth Truck" from the Speed Racer Cartoons.
You should see this cornering around turns! And the tow truck pull it out when it sinks into the permafrost.
Wow. Looking forward to the “lift” video.
This went by my house also. I didn't know what it was though. I didn't have my phone to record it. Pretty cool though.
Nice
Muy Buenas imagenes. ME INSCREBI EN EL CANAL. SALUDOS DESDE BRASIL. DEDÉ DE ZÉ LUCA.
I'd say it was built by the Boilermakers, I'm a Boilermaker down in the states 1989, to 2019 very proud of various projects across the country I've help build
Saw this under construction but didnt see it transported, should have gone to see it.
Imagine having to pretrip this
It’s actually done every day. Just not by one dude
six trucks and on top of that those platforms the thing is sitting on can move under their own power as well. That's intense.
About the same size as a Saturn V rocket?
Just, wow....
I hope they had an appointment. I would hate to think what it would take to turn that rig around. LOL
Mamoet moves baby!
Somebody needs to make a video about how they manage a load like that, with multiple trucks pulling and pushing - especially the pushers. Are the drivers controlling the power in the conventional way or is there some kind of automated synchronizing system. One driver at the back pushing too hard could make a real mess of it. Are all the drivers steering or are all but the lead driver just trailing?
Each of the six trucks, 2 pulling and 4 pushing have drivers controlling them in the normal sense. Each trailer has someone riding and controlling the steering of each trailer. All trucks and trailers have a number...lets say the lead pull truck is 'No 1'...maybe the right front push truck is 'No 4' etc etc...everyone has a 2 way radio and there will be a "Truck Foreman' controlling and guiding all 6 trucks over the radio as he views the job externally from the road. Of course the application of power and steering by pull trucks and push trucks has to be strictly coordinated...over the radio the ' Foreman' might issue commands regarding gearing and throttle position and also feedback from drivers re rpm as an indication if the truck is managing the load for a given gear selection and throttle setting. Examples "all trucks in 3rd gear?...'truck 1 and 2 holding 1600rpm?'...."all push trucks wideopen in 3rd?...etc etc
th-cam.com/video/wPQOv-AjqBc/w-d-xo.html
Yes
All independent but communication via constant radio.
Once it gets moving it's just the turns that take adjustments.
Really just 3,000 or so hp but lots of torque.
Engineer signs off on the loading and path traveled.
Anyone know the length, and width of the splitter?
Heavy lift by Mammoet Industries is World Wide.
How How many days did it take until that sing it has been a ride to its destination and how many semi trucks have to pull that freaking thing
Wow!
I missed this
Pretty trucks massive load
How do you unload something of that scale? Just a team of massive cranes?
My question is how do they get it up straight... or it has to be like that
Imagine the crane that’s has to pick it up!!!!!
It’ll be a 2 crane pick at first. Then it will be one Billy Bad Ass crane to set in place
They've got 3 of the them at the Irving Oil Refinery here in Saint John, New Brunswick, the largest single refinery in Canada that refines Alberta oil too. It all comes in by rail car trains of 103 cars, 3 times a week, by both CN and NBSR.
@Charles Damery Thank God for Irving Oil Refinery of Saint John, New Brunswick for refining Alberta oil and making Canada less dependent on foreign oil ! Cheers ! You should be sending back cases of Moosehead Beer back to the people of Alberta for our oil ! Eh? Only fair. We got enough Molson already.
@@mr99boxer30 The Irving Refinery refines the worst oil in the world and not only do they refine Alberta oil, but also North Sea, Arabian, Venezuelan and where ever else they can get crude oil at the cheapest prices. Their biggest customer is Chevron of California, so go figure. We also have the Moosehead Breweries plant here in Saint John.
Could do a lot better with a pipeline... instead now, it gets shipped west, loaded on a crude tanker, shipped down and arojnd thru the Panama and back up to the east... makes sense. Thousands of kms n weeks vs a pipe in the ground constantly moving and it only takes a couple days for said barrel A to pipe along from start to finish. Leaving the trains for grains n other non-pipeable material as
@@bustedknuckle1015 The tanker got there on Monday or Tuesday, it took a month to sail from Vancouver down to the Panama Canal and up the East Coast to Saint John. I think rail is still quicker, but a pipeline would be best, but Ontario and Quebec are against it as usual.
This is the weirdest directors cut of Spaceballs.
Curious to see final product.
Two pullers and four pushers.............Heavy Duty job on the move............
Stupid question. When you have more than one tractor providing power, how are they synced to work together?
I remember this because i started my trucking this day and i was stucked by this load lol
Put 'er in low and idle, this will take a while. I lived near Cape Canaveral, get behind these, just go back home and try again tomorrow,
Headin for Ft Mac. They arrive tomorrow.
Went to Fort Saskatchewan.
So what kind of MPGs are you getting towing?
I was going through Edmonton a month after this
Can you imagine walk that all way to the plant? It's 500 km to fort Mac!
It went to the Heartland Petrochemical Complex in Fort Saskatchewan. So it only travelled 52 kilometres, but it still took five days.
This so heavy the cameraman couldn't even catch his breath.
As heavy as this thing is... are they moving this in January to take advantage of the frozen subgrade?
Tv show.... heavy haulage Australia .owner said no one in the world could carry a load like this.it was small than this and they used four trucks.this my friends is some cool shit
Amazing 🤩
🙏🏻✊🏻🤍 to the people that do these jobs. Amazing drivers operator all it time with each other Owwwww
Such enthusiasm!
Hi Bob, I'm a journalist with the German news magazine stern.de. Fantastic shot of the splitter! We were hoping to get your permission to use a few clips from your footage for a short news segment on our website. We would of course give you on screen credit and could link back to your channel if desired. Please let me know here if this is an option or via mail: licensing@stern.de. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you!
I have emailed you, thank you.
@@@bobvila9300 What a nice compliment that the famous "Der Stern" German magazine wanted to share your footage ! I am impressed. This was indeed a historic day for Alberta and all of Canada ! So many jobs created by this machine ! Thanks for your recording ! Cheers !
WOW!! Are those tractors WiFi synchronized for speed?
I used to have one of these. Sold it on ebay
WOW!
Looks like the Saturn rocket that took man to the moon.
I wonder how much cars it would take to actually pull that load so like 100 hp cars prob 100 of them.
Thats a big boi
Did you count the tires there are 240 tires carrying this monster
How many feet per gallon of diesel for this rig?
How many
Wheels did it take ,?
Just curious, how many cranes and what size to pick this up? Absolutely massive
1 spmt by Mammoet
Now THAT'S what I call 'heavy metal.'
Alberta pride ✌
How much does it weigh?
