Alexander Kartashov of Volga-Dnepr Airlines’ Sales Department in Russia establishes contact with the Moscow office of Voith Hydro GmbH to discuss opportunities
to provide transportation and logistics support for the movement of giant runners (working wheels) for the modernisation of the Bratsk HydroElectric Power Station. Voith had previously been awarded a contract to manufacture and deliver runners for the plant, starting in February 2014.
At a subsequent meeting in Moscow, Volga- Dnepr is invited to prepare an offer for delivery of a runner from the Voith Hydro factory in S. Polten in Austria to Bratsk HPP.
VDA TEAMWORK
June 2013 Alexander and Vladimir
Vyshemirskiy, Head of Volga-Dnepr’s Engineering & Logistics Centre (ELC)
travel to factory in Austria to discuss technical solutions for loading and moving the runner as the dimensions and weight of the runner are critical
factors to be considered for loading into the cargo cabin on the An-124-100 freighter. The runner
weighs 73 tons, is 6 metres wide and 2.4m high. The technical meeting also considered the requirement to produce a special upper- frame for lashing of the runner inside the An-124 and during ground transportation.

Volga-Dnepr’s 27 February 2014
The mission is complete. The runner arrives safely at
the Bratsk HPP site, despite the added challenge of -28° weather conditions and strong winds in Bratsk. The shipment is accompanied by
Volga-Dnepr’s logistics and technical specialists.
August 2014 The success of this first project means Hydro Voith has
contracted Volga-Dnepr Airlines to move the next runner it is manufacturing for Bratsk HPP. This delivery will take place in August.
technical department produces drawings for the frame, which will be produced by Voith Hydro.
August 2013
Voith Hydro signs contract for runner flight with Volga-Dnepr. Arrangements begin for Volga- Dnepr to manage door-to-door delivery, including coordination with local logistics suppliers to ensure the strict project timescales are met.
