Heavy haul access roads serve the specialized transportation needs of industrial operations throughout North Texas. These roadways accommodate oversized loads, heavy equipment transport, and concentrated truck traffic that exceeds standard roadway design criteria. We construct access roads engineered for the actual loads and traffic patterns they will experience.
Pavement design for heavy haul applications requires understanding equipment weights, axle configurations, and traffic frequency. Single-event heavy loads create different pavement stress than repeated traffic from loaded trucks. We design pavement sections matched to anticipated use patterns.
Geometric design considerations include turning radii for large equipment, grade limitations for loaded trucks, and sight distance requirements for safe operations. Industrial sites often have spatial constraints that require careful design to accommodate heavy equipment within available right-of-way.
Intersection design where heavy haul routes connect to public roads requires coordination with municipal authorities. Turn lane geometries, traffic signal modifications, and pavement transitions all factor into these connection points.
