Highways Technical Note Wennington

The owners of this disused farm, who had a background in the construction trade, found themselves in a rather paradoxical situation. Although they possessed a significant amount of agricultural buildings and land that could potentially serve various purposes, they were currently relying on external storage facilities to house their construction equipment. This reliance not only incurred additional costs but also highlighted a missed opportunity, as the existing infrastructure on their property could be utilised more effectively. Recognising this discrepancy, the owners were motivated to explore ways to optimise their assets and maximise the potential of their property, thereby reducing unnecessary expenses and increasing operational efficiency.

To embark on this initiative, it was essential to develop a comprehensive transport note. This document would serve as a critical blueprint, detailing the proposed vehicular types that would be utilised on the site, as well as outlining the anticipated movements of these vehicles. Among the various vehicles considered, the low loader was identified as the largest and most significant due to its capacity to transport heavy machinery and equipment. The transport note would need to include precise swept path analysis, which is a crucial assessment that illustrates the path that the largest vehicle would take while navigating the premises. This analysis is vital for ensuring that all movements can be executed safely and efficiently, without causing disruption or damage to the existing structures on the farm.
