Route planning is the foundation of every successful special transport. An unplanned route leads to unexpected restrictions, forced detours, cargo damage, and in worst cases, structural damage to infrastructure and significant legal liability.
We conduct thorough route surveys that assess every relevant dimension and constraint: bridge load ratings and structural conditions, vertical clearance at overpasses, utility lines, and tunnels, horizontal clearance through road sections, turning radii at intersections and roundabouts, road surface conditions, and weight-restricted zones.
Our route plans include digital documentation, photographic records of critical points, and a complete written report covering the recommended route, alternative options, and specific requirements at each constraint point. This document becomes the operational basis for permit applications, escort coordination, and convoy briefings.
For complex or novel routes, we conduct physical on-site surveys. For routes within our established operational area, we combine database records with fresh assessments of any changed conditions. Either way, you receive a route plan you can rely on.
When you need this
Route planning is essential for any oversized or overweight transport, especially for first-time routes, routes through complex infrastructure, or loads approaching structural limits. A proper route plan is also a prerequisite for accurate permit applications.
