High Load Steps
If you are going to be moving an over-sized load or equipment:
-
Step One - Plan Your Route and Take Note of Any Power Lines
Failure to observe the minimum clearances between structures and power lines can have serious consequences. You can be held fully liable for any costs/loss/damage resulting for non-compliance. Failure to respect the clearances exposes you to the risk of serious injury or fatality.
-
Step Two - Verify Height of Your Equipment or Load
If your load is over 13.6 feet (4.15 meters), it is considered "Over Height".
-
Step Three - Obtain Travel Permit
A permit to travel on Alberta roads is required. This permit is available from Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation. Contact them at 1-800-662-7138 or at their website.
-
Step Four - Contact Battle River Power Coop to Confirm Route and Legislative Requirements
Please contact the office to speak to the Operations Department, or email directly at fieldoperations@brpower.coop, and submit a Highload Form. We will then advise you if the load can proceed unescorted, or if it will require an escort that will need route selection, resource allocation, and timing.
