Solution
Concept
In equipment planning, we check road weight and size limits so heavy equipment can be moved to the site.
Step-by-step solution
1. Heavy civil projects use large and heavy equipment such as cranes, excavators and batching plants. 2. This equipment must be carried to the site by road. 3. Roads and bridges have limits on weight (axle load) and size (height, width). 4. Checking these limits helps choose the equipment and the way to move it. 5. So this is part of equipment planning.
Explanation
Before choosing equipment, the planner checks whether the roads and bridges can carry its weight and size. If not, smaller equipment or a different route is chosen. This is part of equipment planning.
Why the other options are wrong
B: support planning covers site facilities, utilities and temporary works. C: quality planning is about specifications, testing and inspection. D: safety planning is about worker and site safety measures.
Shortcut
Moving heavy machines on roads means equipment planning.
Common mistake
Choosing support planning because roads seem like site support facilities.
Correct answer: A) equipment planning
