THE HE HE HEAVY VY HA HAULAGE LAGE IND NDUSTRY STRY Specialist sector of the road transport industry Transport loads for clients that are:

  • Wide
  • High
  • Long
  • Heavy

And they are “indivisible” – not easily made smaller.

NZTA – Overdimension NZTA and Road Controlling Authorities – Weight Power Line Owners – Height Chorus & other providers – Height

THE HE HE HEAVY VY HA HAULAGE LAGE IND NDUSTRY STRY Need to transport loads on routes to cater for:

  • Dimension requirements
  • Structural requirements

Usually few routes that meet the specifications A key role for the Association is to advocate for routes to be designed and maintained for OD/OW

THE HE EAST ST WEST T LINK NK PROJECT OJECT In general we support the construction of a route that links SH1 with SH20. The removal of freight and light traffic from local roads is beneficial The reduction in travel times through area on both the East West Link and local roads would be measurable.

THE HE EAST ST WEST T LINK NK PROJECT OJECT Overdimension and overweight loads may be able to use the East West route Recommend that there are suitable dimension specifications But – main route for overdimension and overweight loads will remain on local roads – not SH’s and EW route

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS Analysis of OD permits shows that: In any year 4000 loads moved over 4.5m wide Of these:

  • 82% are up to 10m in width
  • 97% are up to 11m in width

1 in 7 loads in this band between 10 and 11m

  • 93% are up to 5.8m in height (200mm clearance)
  • 98% are up to 6.3m in height (200mm clearance)

1 in 20 loads in this band above 5.8m in height

OVERDIMENS RDIMENSION ION & OVERWEIGHT RWEIGHT ROUTE UTE The only route north/south in/out Auckland is along Great South Road / Sylvia Park Road This route will be cut unless sufficient capacity is provided under the East-West link

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS: : HE HEIGHT HT The Association’s Recommendation: That a condition of consent approval must be to allow at least 6.5m clearance as East West goes over Great South Road This includes

  • the separate pedestrian bridge at Great South

Road

  • The new traffic signals at GSR / Sylvia Park

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS: : WEIGHT HT The Association advocates that road surfaces and structures are built to allow loads travelling on

  • verweight permits.

In practice this means complying with the standard HN-HO-72 This is the usual standard that NZTA use

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS: : WEIGHT HT However the East West Link will effectively place large restrictions on overweight loads on using Sylvia Park Road The solution is to use Great South Road, however the Over Rail bridge is weight restricted for

  • verweight loads

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS: : WEIGHT HT Auckland ckland Trans ranspo port rt say:

  • The bridge is weight restricted due to

construction of the bridge, with a thin deck and no sharing of overweight loads across beams

  • Solution is to replace the deck to ensure that it is

strong enough and tied into the beams to ensure the load sharing.

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS: : WEIGHT HT The Association’s Recommendation: That a condition of consent approval must be to upgrade the weight capacity of the Over-Rail bridge on GSR This must be to at least HN-H0-72 to allow for

  • verweight loads

The proposal is simply to add two traffic lanes – but this does not address this capacity issue

slide-29
SLIDE 29

NZ Heavy Haulage Association

The Overdimension and Overweight Transport Industry

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS There are other issues for overweight loads travelling straight through on GSR:

  • Now need to use Vesty/Niall Burgess or Portage

Road to travel through to Mt Wellington (current route)

  • There will be intersection improvements that

need to happen to allow overweight transporters to travel through here

slide-30

NZ Heavy Haulage Association

The Overdimension and Overweight Transport Industry

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS The Association’s Recommendation: That a condition of consent approval must be to undertake the following prior to removing Sylvia Park Road as an overweight route:

  • The strengthening of the Over Rail Bridge on GSR
  • The changes to new overweight routes on local

roads Construction timing is critical

ROUTE UTE REQUIREMEN UIREMENTS TS – ABNORMAL NORMAL LO LOADS There are some abnormal sized loads that have travelled along GSR / Sylvia Park route Two loads in the last 10 years have travelled at a height of 7.0m, which won’t fit There needs to be some planning for allowing such loads to travel

SUMM MMARY ARY: The Association wishes the Board to mandate:

  • 1. Future-proofing the East West Project for

dimension requirements

  • 2. Providing for height/width clearance under EW

where it crosses over Great South Road

  • 3. Strengthening the Over-Rail Bridge on GSR and
  • ther necessary requirements
  • 4. Undertaking work on alternate routes prior to

work commencing on Sylvia Park Road
