Transport and Assembly of a Data Center from Brittany to Southwest France

Loading, transport, handling, and assembly of a Data Center shelter between Brest (29) and Toulouse (31)

The Trans’Ouest Manutention (TOM29) agency, based in Brest, recently showcased its expertise during a large-scale logistics operation: the loading, exceptional convoy transport, and full assembly in Toulouse of a Data Center unit composed of three modular shelters connected by a walkway, with a total weight of 45 tons.

End-to-End Logistics Management from Brest to Toulouse

Thanks to a turnkey logistics solution, our team carefully coordinated each phase of the operation with precision and professionalism:

• Loading in Brest of the three shelters under optimal safety conditions
• Category 2 exceptional convoy transport over more than 850 km to Toulouse, requiring detailed coordination with authorities and technical escorts
• Unloading and final on-site assembly, including the installation of the connecting walkway and precise positioning of each unit using a 650-ton crane

This success was made possible through strong teamwork. We extend our warm thanks to the Bovis Midi-Pyrénées agency, based in Toulouse, for their operational support and responsiveness on site.
