4. Section 4: Overhead Power Line & Structural Clearance Checks

Verify adequate clearance for all overhead utilities and structures. Any clearance less than 0.5 meters requires direct coordination with utility owners and may necessitate temporary shutdown or structure modification. Provide certified height measurements.

 

Maximum Equipment Height Above Ground (meters)

Is the transport height greater than 4.5 meters?

 

Height Warning: Transports exceeding 4.5m require enhanced overhead clearance verification at every utility crossing and structure. Provide detailed survey data below.
