Access envelope
Record width, height, turning space, gate or entrance constraints and adjacent structures.
Confined access RIC guide
Use this guide to make the project discussion more precise.
Confined access may be a reason to assess RIC equipment, but the site still needs a confirmed operating envelope, carrier route and exclusion plan.
This guide prepares the access information required for a practical CMG discussion.

Guide contents
Questions a technical buyer should resolve before selection.
Carrier route
Identify whether an excavator or wheel loader can safely enter, operate and be serviced on site.
Work controls
Define exclusion space, supervision and emergency arrangements around the operating equipment.
Verification
Project acceptance remains separate from the equipment mobility assessment.
Evidence boundary
A useful guide is clear about what it does not prove.
CMG uses this resource to organise a project conversation. It does not replace site investigation, geotechnical design, equipment documentation or the project acceptance specification.
- Do not assume compact equipment removes all access constraints.
- Do not use equipment size as a substitute for site controls.
- Review carrier reach and safe operating space before quotation.
Buyer checklist
Prepare these inputs before sending an RFQ.
- Access dimensions and entry route
- Carrier or equipment already available
- Exclusion space and adjacent works
- Material and treatment objective
- Acceptance and safety requirements
Decision record
Turn the research question into a reviewable equipment brief.
Use the following record as a handover between procurement, site engineering and the equipment supplier. Empty fields are signals to investigate, not assumptions to fill with a generic machine claim.

Further questions for the project team.
Can RIC work in a narrow site?
It may be assessed where a safe operating envelope can be confirmed.
What access information is needed?
Dimensions, entry route, turning space, adjacent structures and exclusion requirements.
Which carrier should be used?
The carrier is selected from site access, available machine and project requirements.
How is site suitability confirmed?
Through a project review rather than a general equipment-size claim.
