Truss Sections
25’H x 22’W x 80’L 104,000 lbs
The Boeing Companies contracted with The Permit
Company to coordinate the routing, permitting, traffic control and escort
vehicles for the movement of six truss sections. The cargo was valued at 500
million dollars. Twelve months of planning were required to clear the overhead
obstructions on the ten-mile route from Boeing Huntington Beach to Los Alamitos
Airforce Base. The job required the cooperation of six government agencies,
fifteen communication companies with overhead cables, the closure of two
freeway off-ramps and the temporary removal of a signal arm. The Permit Company
provided the traffic control, escorts and permits. All work was done in house
without the aid of independent contractors.

A
400-ton fixed launch platform structure for Lockheed Martin’s new Atlas V
launch pad was transported over-the-road in four separate sections from Florida
to California. The largest section
was transported on a 29-axle rig that was nearly 300 feet long. Actual
driving route was 3,300 miles requiring permits for Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, central Texas, southern New Mexico, Arizona, and southern
California. Delivery of the launch
platform structure is a key milestone in establishing Atlas V launch capability
at the West Coast launch site starting in 2005. Permits
and routing by THE PERMIT COMPANY.

of an outside transporter. This
$27 million dollar cargo was moved from Sunnyvale, California to Cape
Canaveral, Florida. A full route
survey was conducted with one of our company owned and operated pilotcars
equipped with an electronic high pole. The
move required sixteen permits and two escorts. All work was done in house
without the aid of independent contractors.
Air Force One
Operation Homeward Bound
The
wings measured 92’ long and 35’ wide were moved by stretch flatbed trailers. The
153’ long fuselage was towed on a specialty axle in the front and customized
dollies in the rear. The tractor had 20,000 pounds of counterweight. The
dollies and front axle had hydraulic rams built on to raise and lower the
fuselage. Permitted and escorted
by THE PERMIT COMPANY.
From the Boeing Company press release...
The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] announced today the
disassembly of a historic Boeing 707 that flew for 28 years in
presidential service as an
Air Force One. Used extensively by
President Ronald Reagan during his eight years in the White House, this famous
airplane will be moved to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi
Valley, Calif. where it will take up permanent residency.
Boeing, California’s largest private employer and
manufacturer of the Boeing 707, has agreed to lead “Operation Homeward
Bound,” and move the airplane from San Bernardino (Calif.) International
Airport to the Reagan Library at its request. Boeing will supply all necessary
resources – equipment, tools, technical expertise and labor – throughout the
process to disassemble, transport and reassemble the aircraft, Tail
Number 27000, when it arrives at the Reagan Library. The airplane is
expected to arrive late summer 2003 and be on public display by late 2004.
 2001 Hauling Job of the Year Winner Emmert
International PLF Structure 19’6”W x 145’L 138,000 lbs
Job required Emmert to transport a 93-foot-long vessel weighing 138,000 pounds
more than 2500 miles from Alabama to California. For the project they used a
modified nine-axle trailer that was 180 feet long. Two years of planning went
into the job to consider the over-dimensional restrictions through the various
states in which the vessel would be transported. The Permit Company safely
routed the load and negotiated with the eight agencies that required permits.
