Large prefabricated structures generally require specialized transport equipment and, depending on their dimensions, exceptional transport authorizations and route planning.
Prefabricated module handling in Dordogne requires seamless coordination between transportation, lifting, and installation phases. When oversized structures must be moved and positioned on-site, every step must be carefully planned to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance with project deadlines.
Recently, the teams at Bovis Périgord, a member of the Groupe BOVIS, successfully completed a large-scale operation involving the transportation and installation of eight prefabricated modules, representing a total of 32 tonnes of equipment handled and positioned on site.
This project highlights the agency's expertise in exceptional transport, heavy lifting, and specialized handling of prefabricated structures throughout Dordogne and the wider Southwest region of France.
The assignment involved transporting and installing eight prefabricated modules destined for assembly at their final location.
Each module featured significant dimensions:
Due to the oversized dimensions of the structures, the operation required Category 1 exceptional transport authorization, with a logistics plan specifically designed to meet regulatory and road transport requirements.
To ensure the success of the operation, Bovis Périgord deployed equipment perfectly suited to the project's technical requirements.
Exceptional Transport Using an Open Box Flatbed Trailer
The modules were loaded and transported using an Open Box flatbed semi-trailer, a solution particularly well suited for carrying long and oversized prefabricated structures.
This equipment enabled the safe transport of the modules while complying with all regulations associated with exceptional loads.
Precise Lifting and Positioning with a Scania Crane Truck
Upon arrival at the project site, the modules were unloaded and installed using a Scania crane truck equipped with a 150 tonne-meter lifting crane.
This high-capacity lifting solution enabled precise placement of each module, ensuring accurate positioning while maintaining full control throughout the operation.
The combination of powerful lifting capabilities and the expertise of Bovis Périgord's crane operators allowed the modules to be positioned quickly, safely, and in accordance with project specifications.
Recognized Expertise in Prefabricated Structure Handling in Dordogne
Handling prefabricated modules involves far more than transportation alone. It requires expertise in:
Thanks to its extensive experience and specialized equipment fleet, Bovis Périgord supports construction companies, industrial businesses, public authorities, and commercial organizations with projects requiring advanced lifting and handling solutions.
A Successful Operation Despite Challenging Weather Conditions
The project was carried out during a period of extreme summer temperatures, creating demanding working conditions for teams on site.
Despite the heatwave, Bovis Périgord's drivers, crane operators, and handling specialists maintained the highest standards of professionalism, commitment, and operational excellence throughout the assignment.
Through careful planning and close coordination with the customer, the operation was completed safely while preserving optimal working conditions for all personnel involved.
