Here are two new projects recently completed by the Logistics Plus (LP) Project Cargo Team. For the first project shown below, the LP India team safely delivered the first GE locomotive from under hook to its track within 44 hours (for which we received a nice compliment from our customer). LP India’s scope was as follows:
- Receiving cargo under hook;
- Customs clearance;
- The movement to identified location for the overnight halting of a locomotive; and
- All equipment including shackles, strings, spreader beams, traverser, jacks, etc., were designed and made (produced from specific vendors) specific to GE’s requirements.
The second project shown below was completed by the LP Houston team and involved the safe loading of coiled tubings at Port Houston.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bridge-Building Logistics in the Himalayan Mountains of Northern India
Logistics Plus India Provides Logistics Support for New Bridge Between Sonprayag and Gaurikund
ERIE, Pa. (April 6, 2016) – Logistics Plus Inc., a worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, reports that its India Division (aka, “LP India”) played a major role in coordinating logistics for the successful completion of an important bridge in the Himalayan mountains of northern India between the cities of Sonprayag and Gaurikund. The bridge, constructed across Mandakini River, was completed in the record time of 30 days thanks, in part, to the logistical support LP India provided to the overall construction project.
The previous bridge had washed away twice within the past three years due to unprecedented flooding that began back in 2013. The new, more permanent bridge was sourced and shipped from a New Jersey, USA bridge builder. The bridge parts moved by container ship to Bombay, and then by train to New Delhi, and then by road to Rishikesh on container lorries. Transshipment by smaller trucks was required for the last leg to Sonprayag. In all, it was a mind boggling logistics exercise carried out to military precision by the LP India team.
“The site for the bridge posed many challenges,” said Sundreysh Sarup, managing director for LP India. “The history of floods demanded elaborate logistical planning and execution. The logistics of transporting a bridge to Sonprayag 250 kilometers from Rishikesh was no simple matter. It took significant planning and great coordination to ensure all of the equipment and parts arrived to the job site on time and intact. I am very pleased the project was a success, which will most certainly give a boost to commercial activity within the region.”
