Project Overview
GPS International put all its power into this project to make every minute of it worth the effort.
Transport and road development were the key elements of the project, which demonstrated our
unparalleled capabilities in desert logistics and heavy transport.
The project involved the transport of Baker Hughes' Rig Galileo III components from Zarzis port
to the remote Algerian desert location of Rhourde El Baguel, covering over 450 km of challenging
terrain with extreme weather conditions.
