“Temporary does not mean low risk”: Malaysian engineering firm challenges how industry handles structural transport

On 22 April 2026, MIDAS IT held a technical seminar in Kuala Lumpur to launch their MIDAS Gen NX structural analysis software. Anthony V Sekaran, Founder of Sekaran Technical Services (STS), was invited to speak as a practitioner. An IEng with the UK Engineering Council and over 30 years in heavy transport engineering, marine operations, and infrastructure, his session had one argument: the transport phase of large structures, lifting, Ro-Ro, marine barge, and SPMT land moves, produces worse structural load conditions that the industry may not be aware of. Anthony backed this with his field practice and a detailed case study on the Youtefa Bridge in Papua, a tied arch bridge transported fully assembled across 3,200 kilometres by barge, where marine and lifting loads governed the structural design, not the traffic loads the bridge carries today.
STS is based in Kuala Lumpur. https://www.sekarantechnicalservices.com
