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

  • Dimension requirements
  • Structural requirements

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

ROUT UTE E REQUIREMENTS UIREMENTS These figures are derived from the fact that the Rules for OD loads allow:

11.0m width 6.5m height

Without special engineering permission

ROUT UTE E REQUIREMENTS UIREMENTS Analysis of OD permits shows that: In any year 4000 loads moved over 4.5m wi wide de Of these:

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

1 in 7 loads in this band

ROUT UTE E REQUIREMENTS UIREMENTS: : Analysis of OD permits shows that: In any year 4700+ loads moved over 4.25m high Of these:

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

ROUT UTE E REQUIREMENTS UIREMENTS The Association has submitted to this RoNS project that dimensions should be increased to: 11.5m width 6.5m height On this project, there appears to be only one

  • verhead bridge at 6.0m (Moirs Hill Road

Underpass)

ROUT UTE E REQUIREMENTS UIREMENTS: : HE HEIGHT HT The Association has not sighted any analysis of the cost to increase the height of this bridge to 6.5m Recomme mmenda ndation: tion: That the cost and logistics of increasing minimum heights to 6.5m should be investigated. Note: This may include sign gantries and toll gantries

ROUT UTE E REQUIREMENTS UIREMENTS Benefits of transporting OD/OW Loads on RoNS route:

  • Two lane divided road
  • No on-coming traffic  safer
  • Less exposure due to quicker travel duration
  • Better road camber, less hills/down-hills, less

roading restrictions

ROUT UTE E REQUIREMENTS UIREMENTS: : 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 It appears that NZTA have agreed with this. NZHHA find this outcome acceptable

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE This Association seeks a full interchange (including north-facing on-off ramps) at Puhoi This is to allow access on/off for OD/OW loads to use the RoNS road

slide-23
SLIDE 23

NZ Heavy Haulage Association

The Overdimension and Overweight Transport Industry

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE At present the OD/OW route is as follows (north): Travel on SH17 over Johnstone’s Hill Join SH1 at northern tunnel exit Travel north on SH1 through Warkworth Note: At present no travel permitted for OD/OW loads through Toll road tunnels

slide-24
SLIDE 24

NZ Heavy Haulage Association

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE The proposed design for the Puhoi interchange will

  • nly allow:
  • Traffic heading north through tunnels to exit
  • Traffic heading south on existing SH1 to access

the Toll Road to head south through Tunnels

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE OD/OW loads moving no nort rth h over Johnstone’s Hill:

  • Will not be able to access the Puhoi-Warkworth

RoNS road

  • Will need to travel on the existing SH1 instead
  • Retains the current on-coming traffic

management requirements

  • A number of weight restricted bridges on current

SH1

  • Will not be able to access the Puhoi-Warkworth

  • Will need to travel on the existing SH1 through

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE Makes sense to allow OD/OW loads on RoNS Better road for large loads Nil safety risk for on-coming traffic

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE The current SH1 through Warkworth will revert to Council ownership:

  • Difficult to maintain as OD/OW route
  • Experience of restrictions through Orewa
  • Prefer most large loads to use RoNS route

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE Alternative solution: Allow OD/OW Loads through the Toll Road Tunnels Possibility, but the tunnel width/height restrictions  Some loads will always need to travel over the Hill

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE Local Transport Effects:

  • Eg. Rhodes for Roads at Warkworth
  • Not able to access the RoNS route for deliveries

in/out of Puhoi from base at Warkworth

  • Will need to continue to use existing SH1,

despite a better road being constructed

slide-31

NZ Heavy Haulage Association

FU FULL PUHOI HOI INT NTERCH RCHAN ANGE GE Association Recommendation:

  • NZTA should cost the construction of the north-

facing aspects of the interchange at Puhoi

  • NZTA should also evaluate the potential future

cost of constructing the full interchange

  • Assess in real terms whether it would be more

cost-effective to construct this now.

SUMM MMARY ARY: The Association wishes the Board to future-proof the requirements for this RoNS Project:

  • Height / width requirements that meet a greater

percentage of overdimension loads travelling

  • Costing a full interchange at Puhoi to allow

access for OD/OW Loads
