Grove TMS9000 Assists With Unique Lift in ’Burgh’s Allegheny ALL Crane Rental of Pennsylvania LLC was on the spot on the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, Pa., for the first U.S. visit of artist Florentijn Hofman’s globe-hopping giant rubber duck. The duck, which is custom built under Hofman’s supervision for each city it visits, required the assistance of a Grove TMS9000 hydraulic lift to be set afloat.

Thus far the duck has toured New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Holland, Hong Kong and France on its goodwill tour of the world.

Because the duck is customized for each location it visits, the lift equipment required can vary. In Pittsburgh, the duck was inflated to a height of 40 ft. (12 m), demanding the services of the TMS9000, a 110 ton (100 t) hydraulic crane. Set on 14,000 lb. (6,350 kg) pontoons with a generator to keep it inflated, the duck will remain in Pittsburgh for a month.

“It’s definitely one of the more unusual lifts we’ve accomplished,” said Michael L. Liptak, president of the ALL Family of Companies. “We always say we’re prepared for any type of job, and we are. I’m so glad we had the chance to participate in an event that is bringing joy to so many people. We’ve done a lot of lifts over the years, but this was one of the most fun, by far.”

While other cities around the country vie for the duck’s attention, Pittsburgh is enjoying a little extra attention. Thousands attended its inaugural launch on Sept. 27. Meant to promote peace, Hofman said, “The rubber duck knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate between people and doesn't have a political connotation…The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages.”

Know the Law: How AMSE, OSHA Regulations Affect Supervisor Liability The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has for years promulgated consensus safety standards for various industries.

ASME’s standards are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The standards are meant to: “(a) prevent or minimize injury to workers, and otherwise provide for the protection of life, limb, and property by prescribing safety requirements; (b) provide direction to manufacturers, owners, employers, users and others concerned with, or responsible for, its application; and (c) guide governments and other regulatory bodies in the development, promulgation and enforcement of appropriate safety directives.”

(ASME, B30.5-2007, Section III, page ix.)

Before discussing the substance of this article, it is important to understand what ASME standards are not. The following four principles are instructive in understanding this: 1) While OSHA regulations are the law and are mandatory, ASME standards are voluntary.

2) ASME standards can become the law and mandatory if they are incorporated by reference into OSHA. 3) ASME standards represent a consensus of what industry experts consider safe. Thus, not following such standards may be considered a violation of the OSHA “General Duty” clause, which requires employers to keep the workplace “free from recognized hazards.”

4) ASME standards are more rigorous, and potentially more expensive to implement than OSHA regulations. As such, employers do not have to adopt a voluntary ASME standard. On the other hand, if an accident occurs that could have been avoided had the standard been followed, OSHA may scrutinize the reasons for not following the standard.

(Reference is made to Joseph J. Lazzara, “Safeguarding: Are ANSI Standards Really Voluntary?,” originally published by Occupational Hazards Magazine, December 2004, Penton Media, Inc.; Glenn Demby, “What’s the Difference Between an OSHA Rule and an ANSI Standard? ” reproduced from the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), news letters, and Web site by the permission of Bongarde Media.)

the overall responsibility for construction of the project.”

Among other things, the regulation requires the controlling entity to inform the user and operator of the equipment of the location of hazards beneath the equipment set-up area (such as voids, tanks, utilities) if those hazards are identified in documents (such as site drawings, as-built drawings, and soil analyses) that are in the possession of the controlling entity (whether at the site or off-site) or the hazards are otherwise known to that controlling entity.

The Site Supervisor’s Responsibilities Under ASME B30.5-2011 ASME B30 is the safety standard for cableways, cranes, derricks, hoists, hooks, jacks, and slings. ASME B30.5 is the safety standard for mobile and locomotive cranes. Section 5-3.1.3 of 2011 Volume of ASME B30.5 sets forth five roles for purposes of delineating responsibilities on a work site involving a crane. The roles include the site supervisor, the crane user, the crane owner, the crane operator and the lift director. This article focuses on the site supervisor’s role.

Section 5-3.1.3 defines site supervisor as the individual or entity that “exercises supervisory control over the work site on which a crane is being used and over the work that is being performed on that site.” The organizational structure on any given project will dictate who the site supervisor is. The site supervisor’s responsibilities are set forth in Section 5-3.1.3.2.1, and are mandatory. Responsibilities include: (a) Ensuring that the crane meets the requirements of Chapter 5-2 prior to initial site usage. (b) Determining if additional regulations are applicable to crane operations. (c) Ensuring that a qualified person is designated as the lift director. (d) Ensuring that crane operations are coordinated with other job site activities that will be affected by or will affect lift operations. (e) Ensuring that the area for the crane is adequately prepared. The preparation includes, but is not limited to, the following: (1) access roads for the crane and associated equipment.

(2) sufficient room to assemble and disassemble the crane.

(3) an operating area that is suitable for the crane with respect to levelness, surface conditions, support capability, proximity to power lines, excavations, slopes, underground utilities, subsurface construction, and obstructions to crane operation.

(4) traffic control as necessary to restrict unauthorized access to the cranes’ working area. (f) Ensuring that work involving the assembly and disassembly of a crane is supervised by a qualified person. (g) Ensuring that the crane operators meet the requirements of Paragraph 5-3.1.2. (h) Ensuring that conditions that may adversely affect crane operations are addressed. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Roles and Responsibilities Under OSHA and ASME What follows is a discussion of the OSHA regulations and ASME standards applicable to cranes used on construction sites. The focus is on upper level management entities and personnel, i.e., the “controlling entity” under OSHA 1926.1400 and the “site supervisor” under ASME B30.5-2011.

The Controlling Entity's Responsibilities Under OSHA 1926.1400 OSHA 1926.1400 became effective on Nov. 8, 2010, and pertains to the use of cranes on construction sites. In Section 1926.1402, OSHA set forth the responsibilities of the controlling entity. The significance of this is that the controlling entity may not be the employer. It identifies the controlling entity as “an employer that is a prime contractor, a general contractor, a construction manager, or any other legal entity which has

See REGULATIONS page 14 13

Protect Yourself From Penalties REGULATIONS from page 13

are mandatory in the language of the standard. Nonetheless, they are industry consensus standards, which means that the people most knowledgeable about crane operations have, in the context of roles and responsibilities, prescribed safety requirements in the standards “to prevent or minimize injury to workers, and otherwise provide for the protection of life, limb, and property.” As such, while an OSHA violation may be considered by courts as evidence of negligence, a violation of an ASME standard is not as clear cut. Nevertheless, experts retained to render opinions in civil litigation on the fault for crane accidents are often the very individuals who participated in drafting the ASME standards. As such, those exerts will express opinions on fault based on violations of the standards. For that reason, it is most important to understand what the standards state and what they mean based on the words used and defined in the standards.

As an example, one of the responsibilities for the site supervisor is subsection (c), which provides that the site supervisor shall be responsible for “ensuring that a qualified person is designated as the lift director.”

Construing the meaning of words used and defined in the standard elucidates the true meaning and onerous burden on the site supervisor to comply with this responsibility. The terms “ensuring,” “qualified person,” and “lift director” are defined in ASME B30.S-20 11. Ensure means “take steps to see that” or “make sure.” Qualified person is “a person who, by possession of a recognized degree in an applicable field or certificate of professional standing, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work.”

A lift director “directly oversees the work being performed by a crane and the associated rigging crew.” Thus, using the definitions of the terms used in subsection (c) results in the following meaning: the site supervisor [the entity that exercises supervisory control over the work site on which a crane is being used and over the work that is being performed on that site] shall [must] ensure [take steps to see that or make sure that] that a qualified person [a person who, by possession of a recognized degree in an applicable field or certificate of professional standing, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work] is designated as the lift director [the person designated to directly oversee the work being performed by a crane any associated rigging crew].

As so construed, if an accident that occurs on a work site is caused by the failure to have a lift director or by an unqualified lift director, attorneys and experts on both sides will analyze this particular provision’s mandatory requirements and assign fault accordingly.

(1) poor soil conditions (2) wind velocity and gusting winds (3) heavy rain (4) fog (5) extreme cold (6) artificial lighting. (i) Allowing crane operation near electric power lines only when the requirements of Paragraph 5-3.4.5 have been met. (j) Permitting special lift operations only when equipment and procedures required by this Volume, the crane manufacturer or a qualified person are employed. Such operations include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) multiple crane lifts (2) lifting personnel.

(3) pick and carry operations. (k) Ensuring that work performed by the rigging crew is supervised by a qualified person. (l) Ensuring that crane maintenance is performed by a designated person.

The Legal Implications of the Violation of OSHA Regulations in Litigation As indicated earlier, OSHA regulations are the law. A violation of an OSHA regulation can result in citations and penalties. Outside of OSHA’s regulatory scheme, a violation of an OSHA regulation can be considered as evidence of negligence in litigation. Under OSHA 1926.1402, OSHA has determined that the failure of ground conditions is one of the main causes of crane accidents. Further, it has identified the controlling entity as the individual or entity on a construction site responsible for making sure that the most common causes of the failure of ground conditions are remedied. While OSHA has identified examples of entities it considers as controlling entities, e.g., general contractor, construction manager, etc., its focus is on the “legal entity which has the overall responsibility for construction of the project,” and requires disclosure and communication of information by that entity to individuals who use and operate the crane of hazards that are “otherwise known” to that entity. This last phrase is what attorneys will focus on if a crane accident occurs involving ground conditions and litigation ensues. The focus will be on what affirmative steps the controlling entity took to determine what, if any, hazards associated with ground conditions existed. The failure to do anything could be considered evidence of negligence. It should be noted, however, that OSHA specifically states that it neither expands nor limits the common law, workers’ compensation, or other statutory law on employer-employee relations or liability. This statement has been interpreted by courts to mean that while an employer cannot delegate its responsibilities under OSHA, it can delegate its responsibilities by contract in the civil context. As such, an employer can, by contract, delegate its responsibilities for ground conditions to a subcontractor.

The bottom line is that violations of OSHA regulations that result in citations and penalties may be treated differently in civil litigation.

Conclusion The potential for negligence in civil litigation for violating an OSHA regulation or ASME standard makes it incumbent on supervisory personal to know and understand their responsibilities. With respect to an OHSA violation, an expert will rely on a cited violation.

With respect to an ASME violation, an expert may not even reference the standard, and instead express his opinions on roles and responsibilities based on his training, education and experience in the crane industry, on which the ASME standard is reflective. The cost of ignoring these responsibilities in terms of personal injury, property damage, OSHA citations and penalties, and adverse jury verdicts can be significant. CQ

CDSCC Reaches Out to the Final Frontier Aided by Terex CC 2800-1 A 660-ton (600 t) capacity Terex CC 2800-1 crawler crane owned by Universal Cranes Pty — one of the largest privately owned crane hire companies in Australia — installed one of three communication antennae, part of the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC).

The 111.5 ft. (34 m) diameter Deep Space Station 35 (DSS35) is a Beam Wave Guide (BWG) antenna, which took three years to build. It will be fully operational late 2014 in time to track the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) New Horizons mission before the spacecraft reaches Pluto. The NASA facility is located in a natural reserve area at Tidbinbilla, 21.7 mi. (35 km) southwest of Canberra and is managed by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

When the project is completed, the complex will be the main signal base for NASA’s deep space missions. The Canberra station is one of the three sites around the globe making up the Deep Space Network — the other two are based in California and Spain — ensuring there is always one station in the field of view of every spacecraft.

tests including a heavier test lift designed to exert increased crawler track loads to ensure there would be no problems during the actual lift.

About the Beam Wave Guide antenna The Beam Wave Guide antenna design has its transmission and receiving equipment located in an underground structure 32.8 ft. (10 m) below that forms the base pedestal on top of which the main antenna structure and dish are supported.

The pedestal design is already used in one of the current 111.5 ft. antennas (DSS34) currently located at CDSCC and allows for easier and safer access to the antennas electronic systems which would otherwise be inside the antenna structure.

When complete, DSS35 joins a 40 year old, 229.7-ft. (70 m) dish and two other 111.5-ft. dishes at NASA’s only southern hemisphere communication center. The communication center communicates with robotic spacecraft by sending commands to turn on experiments and then receives the data from the spacecraft with a signal equivalent to 1/20 billionth of a watt. The complex is set to grow in importance in the future because over the next 10 to 15 years the planets align in such a way that the Southern Hemisphere will have the best overall view of the existing spacecraft spread out across the solar system.

The new BWG technology offers greater flexibility and accuracy communicating across a higher range of frequencies than the aging 229.7-ft. dish which is said to be well past its 25 year design life. It takes four of the new BWG antennae to replace the capability of the larger 229.7-ft. dish.

The latest antenna (DSS35) will expand the capabilities of the CDSCC by providing an additional antenna aperture to support the New Horizons mission as well as the planned and expected growth in deep space missions being launched over the next decade.

The Lift Universal Cranes mobilized its Terex CC 2800-1 crawler crane for the lift rigged with a 118-ft. (36 m) main boom and a 118-ft. luffing fly jib.

This configuration allowed Universal Cranes to erect the satellite dish as a single unit with all of its structure installed. This meant both cost and program savings for principal contractor General Dynamics SATCOM. Total load to be lifted was 139.4 tons (126.5 t), which included 125.7 tons (114 t) of the satellite dish, a 176.4-ton (160 t) capacity hook and cheek plates and about 5.5 tons (5 t) of slings and shackles. The clearance between the crane’s main boom and the dish was very tight, and this was one of the most challenging aspects of the lift.

“Because of the compact site and the fact that the construction on the antenna was already under way, we had to develop our lift program to suit,” said Nick Morris, heavy lift engineer of Universal Cranes. “This crane specification was chosen because it allowed the antenna to be erected in a single piece.”

When erecting the previous antenna, the client used a Terex CC 28001 crawler crane in a main boom only configuration; this meant that one bay out of the dish structure had to be removed.

“The option we provided allowed the site to carry out more assembly and fabrication works closer to the ground which was a major safety factor,” Morris said. “The crane was fully built on site at the site pad and did need some careful planning due to narrow access roads. But overall, the whole project went very smoothly.”

The lift was carried out early in the morning in perfect conditions. It involved the Terex CC 2800-1 crawler crane picking up the dish at a radius of 85.3 ft. (26 m), and then crawling under full load a short distance before slewing 300 degrees and placing the dish on top of a pedestal structure. Without the crane moving from its final position, it then carried out a second lift placing the upper quadripod antenna structure, at the center of the dish. The total height of the antenna when in its “stow” position is 114.8 ft. (35 m).

Prior to the lift, Universal Cranes carried out extensive ground load

About the Terex CC 2800-1 Crawler Crane.

The CC 2800-1 offers a maximum 660-ton (600-tonne) lift capacity at a 32.8-ft. radius and excellent lifting capacities throughout its entire working range. Its variable superlift radius increases lifting capacities at further distances away from the crane’s base. A variety of boom configurations, including extensions, luffing jib, windmill kit, and vessel lift as well as many other modules are available to increase crane versatility.

Transportability is improved due to the CC 2800-1’s open-boom design. These rectangular sections do not sit as high on the trailer as other boom designs, and no internal cross bracing allows smaller boom sections to be nested inside of larger sections to reduce the number of trailers required for transport. The CC 2800-1 can be equipped with the Terex fall protection system, winner of the 2012 ESTA Safety award, which advances safety when rigging boom sections.

Its IC-1 crane control system features a touchscreen with intuitive pictorial displays for operating ease. The crane’s Quadro-Drive on-demand system improves operating stability and allows the base to move and spin under load, increasing on-site versatility, according to the manufacturer.

National Crane Boom Truck Maintains Mexican Army Emergency Services

The Mexican army recently purchased its first National Crane boom truck to help maintain its fleet of tanks and aircraft and to assist in emergency response work, including storm-related damage.

The Mexican army recently purchased its first National Crane boom truck to help maintain its fleet of tanks and aircraft and to assist in emergency response work, including storm-related damage. The choice was a 40-ton (36.3 t) NBT40.

Purchased in August 2012, the NBT40 has already completed various projects. Its most recent job was to help repair a damaged airplane.

Among several lifts, the crane removed a 16-ton (15 t) engine from the aircraft at a height of 32.8 ft. (10 m).

Guadalajara, Mexico-based TRACSA Group, an official Grove and National Crane dealer for the past four years, worked with the Mexican army to select a crane that best fit the army’s needs. Juan Mejia, crane manager of TRACSA, said that the NBT40 was a smart purchase for the army because of the crane’s operating abilities and quality construction.

“The army chose this crane because it offers more impressive load charts than its competitors and is made from higher-quality materials,”

Mejia said. “Specifically, the comfortable cab and stronger boom and hoist were major selling points.”

The National Crane NBT40 features control valves, a full-color graphical LMI display, and a deluxe operator’s cab built for ergonomic comfort. It comes with a .95-ton (.86 t) tailswing counterweight and is available with three optional boom lengths of 103 127 or 142 ft. (31.4, 38.7 or 43.3 m).

SITSA, a division of TRACSA, headquartered in Mexico City, supplied the NBT40 to the army. SITSA has been a Grove and National Crane dealer for four years.

TRACSA, SITSA’s parent company, was founded in 1974. Working as a distributor for the construction, agricultural and mining sectors, TRACSA Group offers sales solutions and machinery rental, as well as Manitowoc Crane Care parts and service support.
