Critical Power Generation Equipment

Overview

Since 2010, CLG has partnered with a leading global energy equipment manufacturer to provide specialized packaging, crating, and preservation services for critical power generation equipment and components.

The partnership began when the customer requested support packaging and preserving a gas turbine positioned on a rail car. What started as a single project evolved into a long-term relationship built on responsiveness, technical expertise, and reliable execution.

Today, CLG supports the customer across a wide range of equipment, including gas turbines, rotors, compressor disks, turbine disks and blades, combustion baskets, exhaust cylinders, turbine hardware, ship-loose components, and expedited air freight shipments.

High Stakes Equipment Handling

The Challenge

The customer required a trusted partner capable of protecting high-value, highly engineered equipment throughout storage, handling, and transportation, while remaining flexible enough to support changing production schedules and tight shipping deadlines.

Many projects involve oversized and heavy components that require specialized handling, custom crating, and precise preservation. Expedited requests are common, and the ability to respond quickly without sacrificing quality is essential.

For a customer operating at this scale, the stakes are high: the equipment CLG packages supports power generation for areas the size of entire cities. Every project requires the right solution, executed on time.

Customized Packaging, Preservation and Crating

The CLG Solution

Through its dedicated Packaging and Crating division and mobile response teams, CLG provides customized packaging, preservation, and crating solutions for the customer's critical equipment.

Each project begins with an evaluation of the equipment and shipping requirements to determine the appropriate packaging, handling, and preservation methods. To protect against corrosion and environmental exposure, CLG utilizes preservation materials such as vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) products, moisture vapor barriers, and desiccant systems.

CLG manufactures both standard and custom-engineered crates designed to maximize protection while supporting safe handling and efficient transportation. Standard designs incorporate user-friendly features such as easy-open fixtures, foam lining, and D-ring lift points, while custom solutions are engineered around the specific requirements of each project. Backed by experienced personnel, port-centric facilities, and heavy-lift capabilities, CLG is equipped to support projects ranging from individual components to large-scale power generation equipment.

The Results

By partnering with CLG, the customer gained a reliable single-source provider for packaging, crating, and preservation services. For more than 15 years, CLG has helped support critical shipments by delivering customized solutions that protect valuable equipment and meet demanding project schedules. The partnership has remained strong through high project volumes, complex preservation requirements, and frequent expedited requests.

The customer has recognized CLG's performance directly, sharing positive feedback with senior leadership at both organizations. That recognition reflects the trust built through consistent execution across hundreds of projects. Responsiveness, technical expertise, and commitment to meeting customer deadlines have made CLG a trusted partner in the customer’s supply chain.
