The Temporary Works Forum (TWf) has issued some new guidance, 'Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs): a basic guide' (TWf2022:01):
LINKSynopsisWith the prevalence of Self-Propelled Modular Transport (SPMT) operations in the temporary works realm increasing, it was considered that a wider base of foundation knowledge should be available to those who are inclined to pursue this option. Accordingly, a Working
Group (WG) - with a range of experience and perspectives on SPMT-led projects in civil engineering settings - was convened. The WG’s aim was to prepare guidance that summarised the key elements of SPMT operations and provides a basic understanding of how SPMT capabilities, site preparation and project planning elements should be considered when reviewing project requirements (both from the point of view of the client and the provider/operator).
The range of variables involved in heavy transport, such as required by the use of SPMTs, means that it is not feasible to create an all-encompassing concept-to-execution ‘how to’ guide. However, the guidance provided should assist the reader with valuable questions and
background information with the aim of ensuring that there are fewer ‘blind spots’ when considering their next heavy transportation project.
