The chemical and energy industries involve very different flows: industrial equipment, maintenance parts, consumables, packaged products and goods that may fall under ADR rules.
The exact nature of the product, its packaging, available documents, weight, dimensions and site constraints are reviewed before a possible transport solution is determined.
Chemical & energy industry transport
In the chemical and energy industries, organising transport is not simply a matter of selecting a vehicle by weight and volume. The nature of the product or equipment, packaging, potential risks, site access conditions and loading or unloading operations must be understood before departure.
Drivet Transport International reviews each requirement using the information supplied by the customer in order to define an organisation consistent with the operational and, where applicable, regulatory constraints of the flow.
Transport planning starts with reliable identification of the goods: product or equipment type, quantity, weight, packaging, safety data sheet where required and applicable transport information. If ADR applies, these details are needed to review the vehicle, carrier and transport conditions.
Drums, IBCs, pallets, cases and industrial equipment must be packaged, blocked and secured according to their weight, geometry and sensitivity. Stability, temperature or compatibility constraints must be communicated before transport.
Chemical plants, depots and energy sites may impose time slots, gate controls, internal traffic rules, PPE, safety protocols, handling resources or dedicated loading areas. These constraints are collected before loading or delivery.
For sensitive, high-value or time-critical goods, reducing transhipments and intermediate handling can be relevant. A dedicated vehicle or freight-forwarding solution may provide greater control over timing, stops and shipment follow-up.
A pump, valve, motor, sensor or control item may be required for maintenance, a shutdown or the return to service of an installation. When time becomes critical, an express or dedicated solution can be reviewed.
Batteries, electrical equipment, machinery, assemblies and heavy or oversized items may require a curtain-side vehicle, flatbed, dedicated transport or abnormal-load solution. Some batteries may also fall under ADR rules.
Transport for the nuclear industry
The nuclear industry depends on flows of technical parts, maintenance equipment, tools, industrial consumables and materials for sites where logistics must be especially rigorous. Time slots, access procedures, safety instructions, handling resources and on-site contacts must be anticipated.
Drivet Transport International can organise transport for nuclear-industry operators by adapting the solution to the equipment, urgency and operational constraints of the site. Dedicated, express, planned or specialist transport can be reviewed according to the requirement.
A part needed for maintenance or a planned shutdown can directly affect the intervention schedule. Our role is to coordinate collection, transport and delivery precisely while maintaining clear follow-up through to the consignee.
Radioactive materials fall under Class 7 dangerous-goods rules and must not be treated as standard industrial freight. Feasibility must be reviewed separately according to the material, packaging and applicable regulatory, documentary and operational requirements. This section primarily concerns equipment, parts, tools and supplies for the nuclear industry.

We can review chemical shipments covered by ADR when the required information is available. Feasibility depends on classification, quantity, packaging, vehicle requirements and site constraints.
Yes. Pumps, valves, motors, electrical cabinets, assemblies, batteries and other equipment can be reviewed according to weight, dimensions, handling and site access.
Yes. We can review technical parts, maintenance equipment, tools and supplies for nuclear-industry operators, taking account of slots, access procedures, urgency and equipment characteristics.
Class 7 transport has a specific framework. Every shipment must be reviewed separately according to the material, packaging, documentation, authorisations and applicable conditions.
Yes. An express or dedicated solution can be reviewed for a pump, valve, motor, sensor or other component needed for maintenance or the return to service of an installation.
We collect the entry point, delivery slot, on-site contact, access procedure, internal traffic rules, PPE, handling resources and documentary requirements in advance.
It can be relevant for sensitive, high-value or urgent goods, or when transhipments and intermediate handling should be limited.
Yes, subject to review. Precautions depend on technology, weight, condition, packaging and destination. Relevant ADR information must be supplied where applicable.
Yes. Depending on dimensions, weight and access, the solution may require a flatbed, specialist vehicle or abnormal-load transport.
Flows may involve drums, IBCs, pallets, crates, machinery or technical equipment. Packaging must suit the goods and transport constraints.
Yes, subject to the nature of the goods, regulatory constraints, available capacity and collection and delivery access.
Follow-up is based on clear references, planned timings, loading and delivery contacts, carrier instructions and prompt escalation of any issue.
