Route Surveys and Engineering

Decisions are made on calculations. Feasibility studies, route surveys, lift plans and operational consulting.

What we do

01

Feasibility studies

02

Route surveys and reporting

03

Lift plans and 3D drawings

04

Ground pressure and wind calculations

05

Client briefings and simulations

01

When engineering should start

In heavy haulage and lifting, the most expensive problems are the ones found on site: a bridge that cannot be crossed, ground the crane cannot stand on, a vehicle that cannot get through the gate. Engineering exists to find these on paper, before the cargo moves.

That is why we start planning and analysis before a job is awarded. A feasibility study shows which vehicle, crane and route a move or lift can be done with, and what it depends on.

02

What a route survey looks at

A route survey starts on the map and finishes on the road. Along the path of a heavy or out-of-gauge load, bridges and culverts, overpass and power line clearances, swept paths at bends and junctions, gradients, road width and obstacles that must be removed temporarily are recorded one by one.

Our road survey team carries out this work, reports the modifications needed and, on request, makes them with our partners.

03

Lift planning

A lift plan ties the choice of crane to its load chart: load and rigging weight, radius and height, crane configuration, ground conditions and permissible wind speed are assessed together. For tandem lifts it also covers how the load is shared and the order in which the cranes move.

On the İsdemir air separation unit lifting phase, the main crane, assist cranes, site layout and installation sequence were planned together.

04

From plan to site

A plan works when everyone on site reads it the same way. We take the client's team through each plan in briefing meetings and simulations, and an occupational health and safety specialist is on site before and during the operation.

How the work runs

We plan all of our transport and lifting work through engineering. Our engineers prepare feasibility studies, route surveys and lift plans, and an occupational health and safety specialist is on site before and during every operation. We share the plans with clients in briefing meetings and simulations so that no question is left open.

What we need for a survey or plan

A survey starts with the cargo and both ends of the route; the rest is settled as the work goes on.

  • Cargo drawing, weight and dimensions
  • Origin and destination
  • Site drawing or layout
  • What you need: route survey, lift plan or feasibility study
