| Overview: | |
| A Large Building move is defined as the movement of an indivisible building, which exceeds 5.5 m. in width. |
|
| Eligibility: | |
| The movement of a building from the original foundation to a new location. Permissible Equipment: · The unit providing the power for the move must be a licensed and insured road vehicle, i.e. a licensed truck or truck-tractor with sufficient power so as to not unduly delay traffic when the load is being transported. · Farm tractors, backhoes, forklifts, loaders and any other off-highway machinery will not be allowed for this purpose. · If the Large Building is transported on a chassis consisting of an assembly of beams and axles that is specifically used to move Large Buildings, this chassis is not considered a vehicle, and therefore does not require a Provincial Motor Vehicle inspection, registration or license. This chassis must be equipped with brakes on all axles; it must have lights and must have a secondary means of attachment to the towing vehicle, such as safety chains, if the connection to the towing vehicle is a ball hitch or a pintle hitch. · If the Large Building is transported on a trailer that may be normally used to haul items other than a Large Building, that trailer requires a Provincial Motor Vehicle inspection, registration and license. Maximum dimensions are, at the discretion of the District Engineer, based upon a number of factors including but not restricted to: · RCMP consultation, the distance of the move and accessibility of pull-off areas to alleviate traffic congestion and to allow the passing of emergency vehicles. · Interference of adjoining lanes near turns, and swing-out of load at intersections. · Underpass height, and utility line constraints (power, telephone, cable and any others). Maximum weight will be dependent on the configuration using the following guidelines: · The maximum tire loading shall not exceed 10 kg per mm of tire width. · The maximum weight on a single axle with single tires shall not exceed 6000 kg. · All other axle weights, spacing and configurations shall be as set out in Regulation 2001-67, Vehicle Dimensions and Mass, Motor Vehicle Act. Maximum travel distance of Large Building moves within one or more districts is 30 km. |
