Case Study – UPM Taurus Project

The UPM Taurus Project was a logistical mega project that marked a completely new scale in the history of heavy haulage in Uruguay. Extensive planning and execution spanning 3.5 years was successfully handled by deugro and dteq Transport Engineering Solutions as a global team. It included one of the most complex overland transportation concepts ever planned at deugro group—developed over a full year—in close cooperation with the Uruguay Ministry of Transport and the client UPM. The main challenge was to bypass a dam, which was faced by developing a customized heavy lift ferry concept operated by a modular barge.
