Transport Feasibility Study
Transport Feasibility Study
Allelys support abnormal load projects by providing transport feasibility study services.
Transport feasibility study
The purpose of a transport feasibility study is to assess how feasible it is that an abnormal load can be successfully transported through the chosen route.
With decades of experience transporting abnormal and indivisible loads, customers regularly look to Allelys to also support them with the planning stage of the project. Whether that be on a consultancy basis for the transport feasibility study or as part of a wider scope of work to provide the full service solution.
Abnormal load transport feasibility study
Loads are classed as abnormal if they are tall, wide, long or heavy and so the weights and dimensions of each load can differ significantly. Allelys support our customer base by engineering a transport arrangement suitable for the individual project cargo. Our diverse transport fleet means we have more trailer configuration options than any other transport provider in the UK.
Once the transport arrangement has been designed, we’re then able to complete a transport feasibility study to check the route. This can be done as a desktop route report, where suitable routes are identified using mapping or by completing a more in-depth driven route survey. During a driven route survey, the team will photograph challenging sections of the route to be able to complete further engineering analysis, measure pinch points along the route, measure the height of overhead lines, identify street furniture that will need to be temporarily removed or foliage that needs trimming to allow the heavy load to pass through.
An ever changing environment for AIL transport
A transport feasibility study may still be required if the route has been used for abnormal load cargo previously, this is due to an ever changing civil environment. It’s possible that additional street furniture has been installed since the last heavy cargo project, there may be temporary roadworks restricting sections of the route, roads may have been tarmacked which could mean the height between the road and the underneath of a bridge structure has been reduced or road layouts could have changed.
All of these factors would be analysed within a transport feasibility study to ensure the success of the project.
