Heavy Transport

Coordinated transport of a decommissioned 30,000-gallon cryogenic vessel on a specialized SPMT trailer across four Texas counties. Route survey conducted prior to move to verify bridge load ratings, overhead clearances, and intersection geometry. Pilot car convoy maintained throughout the transit.

Breakdown

DOT OW/OS

Overweight/Oversize Authorization

Permits obtained from all four county jurisdictions and TxDOT. Move window restricted to daylight, non-peak traffic hours per permit conditions. All permits carried aboard the transport vehicle.

ROUTE SURVEY

Pre-Move Highway Assessment

Certified route survey completed 48 hours before move. All bridge load ratings, overhead utilities, turning radius constraints, and pavement condition flagged and mitigated before transport date.

SPMT TRAILER

Self-Propelled Modular Transporter

Hydraulic SPMT trailer used for load leveling over uneven terrain and bridge expansion joints. Trailer computer maintained vessel horizontal within 0.5° throughout transit.

CHAIN OF CUSTODY

Hazardous Manifest

DOT hazardous materials manifest maintained from load origin to licensed TSDF receiving bay. Continuous GPS tracking logged and archived as part of the project closure documentation package.
