Superloads

WCS is your superload authority

 

WCS Permits provides permitting and transportation services for both oversize loads and superloads. Superload coordination, including superload permitting and route surveying is a complex task.

WCS keeps routing databases and works closely with state and local government to ensure safe and on time service. WCS will propose an alternate route for the superload when certain highways, roads and bridges are not adequate for the load transportation.

Very often, a traffic control plan needs to be followed to control traffic or re-route traffic along the superload’s route, including lane restrictions, closures, delay of traffic signs and flaggers. WCS will manage all of this from start to finish.
