A huge electrical transformer has been delivered to Torrens Island Power Station from Victoria aboard a 90-metre long, 390-tonne road train.
The transformer, a crucial part of the 250MW grid-scale battery project at AGL’s Torrens Island, departed from She-Oak Log – north east of Gawler – at around 2am on Thursday morning.
The final leg of its journey saw it travel via the Sturt Highway, Northern Expressway, Northern Connector, Port River Expressway and Grand Trunkway before arriving at Torrens Island around 6am.
The 90-metre-long road train was escorted by police and traffic management staff for the entirety of its journey from Victoria.
