Résumé de l’enjeu	Des questions concernant l'arrimage des tuyaux en béton ont récemment refait surface. La société Northern Concrete Pipe Inc. transporte des chargements de tuyaux à extrémités évasées avec un nombre et un diamètre de chaînes appropriés, ainsi que des câbles transversaux d'avant en arrière. Cependant, les chaînes transversales n'étaient pas réglables. Cela me semblait pourtant simple jusqu'à ce que je rencontre le transporteur et que je me rende compte de ses préoccupations. Utiliser un tendeur et rigidifier la chaîne risque de provoquer des vibrations pendant le transport, ce qui pourrait endommager les extrémités évasées des tuyaux. Il en résulterait le refus du chargement, une perte de profit, etc.
Justification ou besoin	Le transporteur part du principe que seules des chaînes peuvent être utilisées pour arrimer les tuyaux en béton. Je ne trouve aucune trace de cette information dans le règlement FMCSR. Elle figure en revanche dans le guide pratique arrimage des charges de la CVSA. Je comprends que ce guide ne constitue pas la réglementation officielle, mais il semble que ce soit la méthode de travail appliquée par le transporteur.
Demande d’action	J'aimerais connaître l'avis du comité arrimage des charges et voir si des éclaircissements sont nécessaires.
Mesures prises par le comité	It was indicated in the meeting that the CVSA Practical Cargo Securement Guidebook page 268 that is used by some states in training indicates that the tiedown must be chain, but that is not supported in the regulations. The regulators in both countries agreed that it is not supported by regulation. It was indicated that this was the first specific commodity that was written. The section was written by the American Concrete Pipe Association. Industry indicated that straps would be acceptable by that Association. He indicated that steel binders cannot be used. It has to be tight enough not to let the pipe move, but it cannot be tensioned to the extent that it will damage the bell pipe. Binder and chain manufacturers are not interested in making anything specific for that industry. It is not possible to immobilize the load completely with this product. The regulators indicated that the model regulation indicated that the tiedown through the pipe must be chain, but that requirement was not transferred into either NSC Standard 10 or into the FMCSRs. It was not the direction of the regulators at this time to amend the regulation to reflect the model regulation. The industry is accepting of using other means of securement (webbing, etc). The problem seems to be other publications outside of the regulations that are indicating information that is not reflected in the regulation and are being used for training purposes. Industry and enforcement are wanting to continue to use the CVSA Practical Cargo Securement Guidebook. FMCSA indicated that if there is a better way to secure concrete pipe other than what is in the regulation, the industry could approach FMCSA for a temporary exemption. The regulators also agreed that they could work with industry if there are issues with the specific commodity section that currently exists. A suggestion was made that it could potentially be carried under the general commodity section. However, the transverse tiedowns are not specified in the regulation as to what type of tiedowns are required. The recommended practice in the books and guidance materials are misleading. It was suggested that cement dust may get into the fibers and reduce the strength of the webbing and perhaps that is where the industry guidance to use chain came from. The forum agreed that there is nothing in the regulation at this time preventing webbing or other tiedowns to be used. CVSA staff indicated that if the book is incorrect, the author of the book will be contacted to correct the book. CVSA will ensure that the book is corrected moving forward to remove the note at the top of page 268.
