Toshka Substation ElSewedy Electrical

A significant achievement by our team at Egytrans who successfully transported 7 transformers weighing 153 tons each over 1100 km of difficult terrain to El Sewedy Electrical Solutions' Toshka substation project, in spite of a very tight timeframe. Egytrans' engineering and transport teams carried out extensive route planning including handling transport permits and Nile river crossings.

Gamesa West Bakr Siemens Energy

With our experience in handling abnormally large cargo for long distances within a tight timeframe, Egytrans successfully transported wind blades reaching 57m in length and turbine parts weighing more than 100 tons to Siemens Gamesa West Bakr wind farm, located 30 km from Ras Ghareb. This was one of the most important renewable energy projects in Egypt, as it aimed to manufacture and install 96 wind turbines producing 250 MW, which increases Egypt's wind energy capacity by 18%, an integral part of the state’s plan to generate 20% of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2022.

New Capital Power Plant - Siemens Energy

4800 MW powered by 125000 tons of equipment comprised of 8 turbines, 8 generators and 8 Transformers among others. Egytrans provided storage, clearance and transportation. This project was singular in many ways, as the largest project ever handled by Siemens and also the largest in Egypt and the entire region. It is the first of its kind to be established in a mountainous area away from water as is usual in power plants and includes the latest technology in the world for gas units, with a production efficiency rate of 65%, the highest in the world.

LRT Shipment COSCO & XIAN

The first 12 cabins of the LRT (Light Rail Transit) electric train that will operate on the new Al-Salam/New Administrative Capital/Tenth of Ramadan City route arrived to Alexandria Port and were transported to the main workshop at Badr. These are the first 12 of 325 carriages and 2 of 8 transformers needed for these 120km/hour high-tech trains. We believe that the development of this state-of-the-art railway system will have a far-reaching impact on mobility in Egypt, serving 340,000 passengers and reducing traffic congestion by up to 30% in the areas it serves. Egytrans is proud to be a part of this important project.
