Tira Crown Invercargill workshop manager Joe Timpany said all the planning to transport the tanks had gone to schedule but thick fog thwarted the plans.
"They had to park it up because it became too dangerous to move ... [visibility] was pea soup."

The journey to the Otago site was initially planned to take three days as the exceptionally wide load could only move at night when there was less traffic and would be routed through Clydevale to cross the Clutha River, Mr Timpany said.
While the fog put the move a day behind schedule, he expected the tanks would still be installed ahead of schedule.

He did not anticipate any further delays from the weather.
