Molson-Coors will be installing 6 new tanks at their Brewery in Etobicoke.

These tanks are massive.........being 25 feet in diameter and up to 150 feet long.

The big challenge is to move them from the Port of Hamilton to Carlingview Drive.

It is a huge logistical nightmare involving hundreds of people......including several different Police Forces, Utility and Hydro companies, etc. etc.

The route may seem a little odd......but remember that these won't fit under any normal bridge.

Also, most overhead wires will need to be moved along with some traffic lights and poles.

The move will take 4 days to complete........starting tomorrow night (Friday)

It has be canceled and rescheduled 4 times already over the past few weeks........delayed due to weather and technical problems.

I will keep this thread updated if there are any changes.

Why do they have to be so careful? They produce swill at best...could it really make a negative impact?

I prefer Sleemans...

                          :P

This is really a moving marvel and, being a bit of a beer aficionado myself, I can't wait to get these bad boys installed!!

I'd say that's being pretty optimistic......  :)

But.....practice makes perfect.......they should be getting the hang of it
