This webinar presents the work involved in developing a standardised comparative risk assessment method for assessing life safety risk of dangerous goods being routed through the tunnel or via an alternative surface route.

This report is one of the three reports produced as part of a project undertaken to establish a comparative risk assessment method for assessing whether a tunnel route is safer than a surface route for the road transit of dangerous goods (DG)…

These guidelines have been developed to help councils plan and assess road freight access to industrial areas, including ensuring that infrastructure provided by developers is adequate to meet access needs for many years.

Detailed investigation and live-load evaluation was undertaken for several 1930s reinforced concrete bridges followed by strengthening where required.

With the progressive increase in heavy vehicle loadings associated with improved transport vehicle technology, the current vehicle loading standard for the design of bridges in New Zealand, first introduced in 1972, may not be appropriate for use in…

New Zealand (NZ) has introduced High Productivity Motor Vehicles (HPMV’s) to improve freight efficiency on its road network. The significant increase in vehicle mass limits has required a national bridge load capacity evaluation and strengthening…

A key component to improving freight productivity in Australia is to improve access to the network for heavy vehicle operators. The assessment of bridge capacity is perceived to be critical to this aim. Currently a significant number of bridge…
