Description
Processed keel components are sorted, organized, and packaged according to the project, component type, or installation sequence. The purpose is to protect the components from damage during transportation and storage, and to facilitate quick identification and retrieval on-site. Packaging methods are determined by the size, shape, and transport distance of the components, usually involving strapping and clear labeling. For export or long-distance transport, more robust wooden crates or steel pallets may be used.
