> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Our SPA software identifies height limitations, predictably evaluates vehicle movements and provides an accurate representation of a vehicle and load’s movement throughout any chosen transport route. Collett’s expert Transport Consulting Team provide detailed 2D & 3D swept path analysis reports and transport analysis, allowing us to accurately analyse the impact of abnormal loads and heavy transport projects. Our knowledge and expertise allows us to create 2D & 3D digital models of loaded delivery vehicles using our transport analysis and design software to provide intricate route planning reports and meticulous analysis of the vehicle's behaviour in the surrounding environment. Each vehicle model designed by the Collett Team is specifically created for each individual abnormal load or heavy transport project, based on exact vehicle dimensions and features accurate vehicle movement characteristics

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Once our Transport Consulting Team have completed the preliminary planning for your heavy transport project, a test drive of the proposed abnormal load route can be undertaken. Used for wind turbine components and abnormal loads, these heavy transport test drives provide a detailed route analysis to show areas where route modifications are required to enable the passage of the proposed vehicle and load. The loaded vehicles simulate the correct dimensions of the abnormal loads, as would be required for the actual movement and any projections either in length, width or height are assembled to the trailer. All projections are designed to allow for easy modifications and reduction in size if required whilst on the public roads, this allows for quicker and smoother manoeuvrability reducing the impact on other road users.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Traffic management plans ensure that not only do heavy transport & abnormal load projects minimise impact on the surrounding environment but also on other road users and pedestrians. Traffic management plans include TTRO (Temporary Traffic Regulation Order), route planning and access reports to plan the movement of abnormal load heavy transport projects. Utilising all the data collated whilst undertaking swept path analysis reports, topographical surveys, visual route inspections, route access surveys and test drives, our Transport Consulting Team will provide comprehensive traffic management plans detailing all aspects of your heavy transport project. These traffic management plans and heavy transport surveying services identify current heavy transport legislation applicable to each individual abnormal load project.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Collett Consulting route access surveys take into account horizontal and vertical alignments, weight and dimensional issues across all types of roads, structures and environments. Used extensively for heavy transport, abnormal loads and wind turbine components, Collett Consulting's detailed route access surveys provide in-depth route analysis to identify the most suitable delivery path. Our route access surveys provide an outlined analysis of how your project, cargo or components will be delivered to their destination. With wind turbine blades increasing in size and the development of new equipment to facilitate heavy transport, it's imperative that delivery routes from port to pad site are surveyed in their entirety for any restrictions that could impact on delivery.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > When undertaking visual route inspections our Transport Consulting Team consider gradients for delivery, supply Ordnance Survey grid referencing and provide a conclusion of the route(s) inspected. ur visual route inspections begin with the undertaking of a desk based study. Collett Transport Consulting will identify possible loading configurations based on our extensive knowledge and experience of abnormal load and heavy transport projects. Our Transport Consulting visual route inspections identify the loading configurations for each abnormal load and the most suitable route, unless potential routes have already been identified by our client. Our Team will then carry out site visits to determine the feasibility of the identified heavy transport route(s) and to highlight any potential pinch points which could impact on the loaded vehicle.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Our Transport Consulting experts possess the knowledge, experience and skills to analyse the surrounding topography and the impact of abnormal loads & heavy transport projects on the surrounding environment. Collett Transport Consulting topographical surveys are used to map the contours of the ground and existing features to assist with route planning and necessary modifications for abnormal load & heavy transport projects. This process, undertaken in the early days of our planning allows us to identifying any features which which could potentially impact on any abnormal load or heavy transport projects. The data gathered by Collett Transport Consulting from site visits and swept path analysis, coupled with data gathered during topographical surveys, provides the most accurate indication of any third party land requirements, road widening or pinch points along the route.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > From our Training Centre we provide a range of transport training courses which will allow you to sharpen your operational processes and ensure compliance responsibilities are met. Our courses cover abnormal loads and transport legislation to ensure you are fully equipped to undertake heavy haulage projects. It is the responsibility of hauliers to satisfy themselves that their own personnel are sufficiently competent to undertake the task of driving abnormal loads or abnormal vehicles. Competent means that they are suitably trained and/or experienced for the role. Our Transport Operations Management training courses cover the duties, rules and regulations alongside the operational processes required to undertake these tasks. Courses in our Transport Operations Management section cover the Management of Driver's Hours & Records, Operator Licence Awareness, Managing Drivers in Transport & Logistics and Managing Transport Projects.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Our general transport operations training provides individuals with the necessary experience to undertake Banksman and yard shunter responsibilities on your premises. Added to these two modules, the newly introduced van smart training designed to reduce work related road risks and improve safety standards. Manoeuvring and reversing vehicles on site is a major cause of workplace accidents and can lead to serious and sometimes fatal injuries. Training4Transport offers the opportunity to ensure that Yard Shunter Drivers are trained in safe working practices to minimise the risk of potentially costly accidents. Another part of our Transport Operations Training is Banksman courses, these are ideal for anyone who is involved in the control of commercial vehicle movements on the highway, in factory yards, warehouses. loading bays and storage depots.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > For those undertaking specialist transport operations we can provide the transport training required, from managing abnormal loads to driver awareness, escort drivers and driver's assistants, we can equip you with the knowledge of operational processes and procedures to ensure compliance responsibilities are met. It is the responsibility of hauliers to satisfy themselves that their own personnel are sufficiently competent to undertake the task of driving abnormal loads or oversized vehicles. Competent means that they are suitably trained and/or experienced for the role. Our specialist transport operations training courses cover the duties, rules and regulations alongside the operational processes required to undertake these tasks. Featured in this training are the two City & Guilds abnormal load escorting courses, available as a Level 2 Certificate for Escort Drivers or Level 3 for Escort Managers.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > At Training4Transport we provide JAUPT Approved CPC Periodic Training for professional drivers in the transport & logistics industries. The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) transport qualifications for professional bus, coach and lorry drivers introduced across Europe aim to improve road safety and help to maintain high standards of driving. Our Driver CPC approved courses will each give you 7 hours towards your required 35 hours of periodical training. - Safe Urban Driving - Module 1 - Safer Loading, Loading Safely - Abnormal Loads and STGO Awareness - Lo CITY Driving NEW TO 2019: Possible 35 Hour 5 day programme over 7 days to suit customer requirements.
