Expert temporary road closure management ensuring safe passage for high-risk transport operations.
Pre-Project Route Surveys are detailed inspections of roads and paths planned for moving oversized or heavy loads. Required by Australian transport authorities, these surveys check for risks like narrow roads, low bridges, or weak pavements. Think of it as a roadmap for safe, hassle-free transport. Our team checks every part of your planned route to make sure your big load can fit safely on Australian roads. We measure road widths, check bridge heights, look for power lines, and find any obstacles that might block your path. Using tools like GPS mapping and on-site measurements, we ensure your route avoids obstacles, complies with safety rules, and meets permit conditions. This step is mandatory for oversized permits and helps prevent delays, damage, or fines.
Rolling Road Closures are absolutely necessary for oversize loads in Australia because they provide the only safe method for moving exceptionally large cargo that cannot coexist with normal traffic. Oversize or overmass loads often exceed lane widths, affect sightlines, and risk hitting roadside infrastructure. Rolling closures create a safe “bubble” around the convoy. It offers controlled, moving protection for the load and the public. By staging temporary blocks, we prevent other vehicles from following too closely or entering the work zone. This method keeps traffic flowing behind the convoy, rather than stopping everyone for long periods. In Australia, closures must be approved by Australian transport authorities, with a detailed Traffic Guidance Scheme and accredited controllers. Proper planning reduces accident risk, prevents damage to roads, and ensures the project meets legal requirements without undue disruption.

Abnormally Large High-Risk OSOM (Oversize Overmass) Load Movements involve transporting extremely large vehicles or cargo that exceed standard road limits in Australia. These movements include loads wider than 8.5 metres, longer than 50 metres, or those requiring special safety measures due to their size and weight. Such movements pose significant challenges to road infrastructure, traffic flow, and public safety. These loads require special permits, often involve night-time travel (typically 9:30 pm–5:00 am in urban areas), detailed planning, expert traffic management, and strict safety plans (OSOM-TMP) to protect roads and public safety. Compliance with all relevant Australian transport regulations is mandatory. Key steps include route surveys, traffic escorts, and coordination with utility providers for overhead line clearances. Whether moving mining equipment or industrial parts, these operations demand expert planning to avoid fines, delays, and infrastructure damage.
