Heavy lift route survey services
Allelys specialise in the transportation of abnormal loads, and engineering a suitable route is paramount to the success of the project. Our in-house engineering team have the knowledge and expertise to support the unique route challenges faced on abnormal and indivisible load (AIL) projects by completing a heavy lift route survey.
Route analysis
We’re able to complete desktop route reports where we identify suitable routes for the heavy cargo using mapping. If the route requires a more in-depth analysis, then our engineers will complete a driven route survey. Conducting this type of study means we’re able to measure the pinch points along the route as well as the height of any overhead lines that may impact the project. Photographs will also be taken of any challenging aspects of the route for further engineering analysis. Any street furniture along the route, which will prohibit the transport from passing through, will be identified so that the necessary permissions can be gained to temporarily remove them. Similarly, any trees that require trimming will be recorded and the arrangements made to complete the work to create enough space for the transport and cargo to pass.
Swept path analysis
In addition to conducting a heavy lift route survey for the project, we’re also able to complete swept path analysis. This engineering process focuses on specific junctions or crossroads along the route that require further investigation. Swept path analysis is used to simulate the heavy lift equipment travelling through the junction or crossroads to confirm that it’s possible to pass through with the abnormal load. It also highlights any street furniture located near the junction and whether it will need to be temporarily removed.
