Jeff Branham, City Engineer, Speaks to Morristown Rotary

As a guest at last week's Rotary Meeting Jeff Branham, City Engineer, presented a program about the large power generator that the City Engineering Department along with Morristown Police and Emergency Management Team escorted through town last June.

Jeff Branham showed photos and described plans explaining the complex timeline and efforts by the City to ensure this extraordinary transport event made it through town without damaging anything. Rotarian, John Zierer photographed the event, and he took several photos that were shared during the presentation.

At more than 640 tons, the oversized transporter units were on a very special and fully engineered route through town and on to Dominio Power in St. Paul, Virginia. Crews from Appalachian Electric and Morristown Power moved alongside the caravan lifting lines on craines to make way for the equipment and transporters.

According to Jeff Branham, the city is preparing for seven more transport events similar to what we saw in June.
