We removed all onshore power plant installations and loaded them into the two power barges. There were 19 chimneys (stacks) of 26.44 m height on top of the barges and we had to cut down 16.88 m to adjust the height clearance of Rupsha bridge. We loaded 10 (ten) chimneys inside TIGER-I and 9 (nine) chimneys inside TIGER-III. The Power barges were removed from the basin at the power plant and towed by 3 (three) tugs to maneuver through Bhairab, Rupsha and Poshur rivers during full rainy season of June and July to reach Akram point (about 60km from Mongla port) and to load them onto Semi-submersible vessel HUA XING LONG. This was a very challenging operation done safely and ­­­professionally. The following major equipment were used for the job:

1.    3200 HP Tug boat x 2

2.    2400 HP Tug boat x 1

3.    1600 HP Tug boat x 1

And other requirement and manpower. After removal the adjacent river bank and boundary wall of the power plant were replaced to their original conditions.
