The Significance of Survey in Project Cargo
Large projects—like the construction of infrastructure, hydropower plants, manufacturing facilities, or road construction—are often dependent on the effective movement of oversize and heavyweight cargo. These shipments are unique and complex with items such as machinery, turbines, transformers, structural steel, or special equipment, that cannot be treated like standard cargo.
Before shipping any cargo, it is very important to have a professional cargo survey. The survey will specify the measurements, weight, loading aspects, handling hazards, transportation routes and safety requirements for the shipment. Without a survey, you run the risk of making major mistakes, which can carry a high cost from improperly packaged shipments to transportation issues which may result in delays, damages, or loss of funds.
In Nepal, where the road systems, customs processes and geography complicate logistics and shipments, the survey/surveying phase is even more critical. Cargo Nepal Pvt. Ltd. has the experience and expertise to be the premier service in the Nepalese market for project shipment survey services, combining experience, expertise, and trust.
What is Project Shipment Survey?
A project shipment survey is an in-depth assessment that is conducted prior to moving large or special cargo. The Project Shipment Survey process includes:
· Cargo Dimension & Weight Assessment: Ensuring accurate information is available to select the mode of transport.
· Packaging and Handling Suggestions– Identifying the best way to pack and load cargo for the safest outcome.
· Route Survey: Analyzing the condition of roads, bridges, port facilities, and clearances for oversized loads in advance.
· Risk Analysis: Predicting potential challenges associated with the cargo such as weather, terrain, and customs.
· Cost and Time Estimates: Setting realistic expectations for project stakeholders.
The purpose of the survey is to reduce risk, improve safety, and optimize efficiency. In other words, it sets the foundation for a successful project shipment.
The Importance of Surveys for Project Shipments in Nepal
There is something very special about the logistics situation in Nepal. Due to its landlocked nature, shipments must rely on ports in India or cross-border routes with China. Because of the narrow, mountainous route systems through which roads typically pass, the possibility of limits on bridges and road widths will restrict the movement of oversized freight. Rapidly evolving hydropower and infrastructure projects in Nepal will often call for shipping large pieces of equipment to remote project sites.
Without appropriate surveys, the consequences of not conducting a field survey are severe:
· Delays due to misrouting.
· Equipment damage due to mishandling.
· Increased costs due to changes later in the project.
· Dangers to workers or communities.
· Unware of Rules and Regulations, legal issues.
· Unsuitable equipment management, extra cost and delays.
Consequently, a significant number of developers, contractors, and international suppliers consider Cargo Nepal Pvt.Ltd.to perform surveys prior to their project cargo movements.
We at Cargo Nepal Pvt. Ltd. Study all aspects of project and plan ahead co-ordinate with supplier, port authorities, logistics Partner in every transit points.
