> 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 > 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 > 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.

Our years of experience coupled with our comprehensive fleet of specialist equipment allows us to expertly undertake all transport projects, no matter how big or small, heavy or light. Our Transport services can facilitate all cargoes from General Haulage and Heavy Transport to Heavy Lift, Crane Vehicles and the complete Project Management of abnormal loads utilising our fleet of over 200 articulated tractor units, crane vehicles, and SPMTs (Self Propelled Modular Transporters). Our continual investment in our fleet ensures that we have the best equipment to facilitate the transport of any cargo, from Super Wing Carriers specifically designed for the transport of wind turbine blades, through to specialist hydraulic Jacking & Skidding equipment.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Our fleet of hydraulic SPMTs provide the ideal solution for manoeuvring abnormal loads in confined spaces and intricately positioning components. The unique 360 degree manoeuvrability our SPMT trailer fleet allows our Team to undertake intricate transport and positioning of abnormal loads and heavy cargo in confined spaces. SPMTs are platform vehicles with hydrostatic driven axles, and regularly feature in our heavy transport and heavy lift operations providing an essential addition when undertaking the movement and positioning of abnormal loads, transformers, industrial cargo, vessels & tanks. The versatility of SPMTs allows them to be coupled in a variety of combinations tailoring to the specific cargo requirements. The unique hydraulic capabilities provide the ability to self load and off-load abnormal loads with a programmable steering option allowing multiple steering geometry patterns.

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 > Our dedicated Team of Jacking & Skidding Engineers have the knowledge and expertise required for machinery extraction and the relocation of industrial cargoes in confined and restricted environments. Utilising our specialist jacking & skidding equipment our Heavy Lift Team can ensure that no matter what the environment we can safely and securely undertake the heavy transport, extraction and load positioning of machinery & industrial cargoes. In restricted environments crane hire is not always a suitable option. Utilising our specialist hydraulic jacking & skidding systems Collett Engineers have the ideal solution for these confined spaces, providing a lifting, extraction and load positioning service in areas where traditional transport arrangements may not be a suitable option.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > From single unit projects to complete breakbulk contracts our Engineering Team provide complete project management & heavy transport logistics for abnormal loads and oversized cargo. Our in-house qualified Mechanical Engineers are able to propose and produce engineering drawings including geometrical tolerancing to BS8888:2017 standards and working under CDM2015 regulations to BS5975:2018 standards for temporary works. We also follow EN:1990, EN:1991, EN:1992 and EN:1993 and the British National Annex for the design of any bespoke solutions. As part of our service you will be allocated a dedicated Project Manager who will oversee these requirements and co-ordinate the entire project, including full route assessment, specialist reporting and swept path analysis where required, ahead of the movement taking place.

> 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.
