Route Survey & Feasibility
Overview
At AAMS Express International, our Route Survey & Feasibility services ensure that every oversized, heavy-lift, and project cargo movement is executed safely, efficiently, and without delays. Before any cargo moves, we conduct a detailed technical assessment of the entire route—from origin to final delivery point.
What is a Route Survey?
A Route Survey is a comprehensive physical and technical inspection of the transportation path used for moving oversized or heavy cargo such as:
- Transformers
- Cranes & heavy equipment
- Oil & Gas modules
- Industrial machinery
- Windmill components
Our experts analyze road conditions, infrastructure limitations, and regulatory constraints to ensure smooth transportation.
What is Feasibility Analysis?
Feasibility analysis determines whether a cargo movement is practically possible and commercially viable. It includes:
- Engineering evaluation
- Risk assessment
- Cost optimization
- Timeline planning
This ensures your project is executed on time and within budget.
Our Key Capabilities
1. Route Inspection & Mapping
- Detailed survey of highways, bridges, tunnels, and access roads
- Identification of narrow roads, sharp turns, and bottlenecks
- GPS mapping and route optimization
2. Infrastructure Assessment
- Bridge load capacity checks
- Overhead clearance (power lines, flyovers, pipelines)
- Road strength and pavement condition
3. Permits & Regulatory Compliance
- Coordination with local authorities
- Special transport permits (heavy/oversized cargo)
- Police escort and road closure planning
4. Risk Analysis & Mitigation
- Identification of potential obstacles
- Alternative route planning
- Contingency solutions for delays or restrictions
5. Transport Engineering Solutions
- Selection of suitable trailers (low-bed, modular, hydraulic axles)
- Load distribution calculations
- Lashing and securing plans
6. Cost & Time Feasibility
