Route Study as the Basis for Exemptions and Implementation

We specialize in route surveys and related services for your special transport needs. Using advanced measuring equipment and professional software programs, we map out routes accurately and reliably.

Our approach is designed to support the interests and requirements of all parties involved. Whether it is the carrier, shipper, or consignee, or the road authority, they can all rely on a carefully conducted route survey that complies with applicable guidelines and technical requirements.

By identifying obstacles, infrastructure, clearance heights, curve radii, load-bearing capacities, and other critical factors in advance, we ensure a safe, efficient, and feasible transport route. In doing so, we minimize risks, prevent delays, and offer our client maximum certainty during the preparation and execution of the transport.

During the survey, we identify the most efficient route and map out any obstacles, such as narrow roads or low-hanging street furniture.
Is it also determined whether obstacles need to be removed?
Yes, we assess whether obstacles need to be temporarily removed to ensure that the transport proceeds safely and smoothly.
How are the results of the route study used?
