LSST Coating Chamber Transported

After arriving at the Port of Coquimbo Terminal in Chile on October 23rd, it was divided into two parts, upper and lower, and transported by Javier Cortez, S.A. in specialized trucks from Coquimbo to the LSST summit facility on Cerro Pachón. The width of the cargo load was about 9 meters (29.5 feet), so this transport required cooperation between many parties to coordinate logistics, including the removal of hanging signs, utility cables, lights, etc. along the route. Local police provided an escort for the transport vehicles, and the Highway Administration assisted with road closures and permits to proceed.
