Project DOT/11/2007/INM Revision of TRH 11 - Project Report.

Abstract

TRH 11 was first published in 1974 and since then there have been seven revisions. The seventh revision was published in March 2000 as a draft. The existing draft document TRH 11 (2000) is currently being used by all nine provinces as a basis for the issuing of abnormal load permits. Through the use of the document useful feedback has been obtained and deficiencies have been identified and the stage was reached where there was general consensus that the document needs a major revision. This project (DOT/11/2007/INM) was commissioned by the DoT with the intention of reviewing and revising the Draft TRH 11 (2000), improving the layout and structure and incorporating new local and international information and research findings. CSIR was awarded this project which commenced on 13 March 2008. This Project Report reviews the tasks identified as the key focus areas of the project and gives information on how each task was addressed and the outcome for each task
