Welding thick-section steel can be 40% faster and use 60% less energy when dynamic beam laser (DBL) technology from Civan is used - instead of hybrid welding using laser and Metal Inert Gas/Metal Active Gas technologies. These are just two of many remarkable results of a collaborative study by shipbuilder Fincantieri and welding systems firm Castellini which show Civan DBLs are set to revolutionise thick-section steel welding for many industries. Hear more of Civan DBLs’ remarkable results – from Civan's ANZ distributor, Raymax, in a story headed 'Civan: Shipbuilding with Civan raises the steel bar' at bit.ly/3YQkNut As well as shipbuilders, railcar manufacturers such as GemcoRail and CEO Geoff Thorn, and rail collaboration centres such as those under umbrella of the Core Innovation Hub, plus energy infrastructure firms - among others - would appreciate the multiple efficiencies of Civan DBL lasers. #shipbuilding hashtag #railcar hashtag #manufacturing hashtag #thicksectionwelding hashtag #railcollaborationcentre hashtag #CoreInnovationHub hashtag #GemcoRail hashtag #Forrestfieldrailcar hashtag #energyinfrastructure hashtag #renewablesinfrastructure

What's the difference between a RotorHook™ up-tower crane system and a GenHook™ up-tower crane system? This video shows both types, starting with a RotorHook™ crane, followed by a GenHook™ crane. RotorHook™ cranes are used when the entire rotor needs to be temporarily removed from the nacelle. Accordingly, these cranes are used for blade exchanges, pitch bearing exchanges, hub exchanges, and main shaft exchanges. RotorHook™ cranes can also be used for complete drivetrain exchanges, as they also have the ability to exchange the gearbox and generator, after the rotor and main shaft is removed from the nacelle. GenHook™ cranes are used for lifting smaller major components, including gearboxes, generator, and single blades. These videos were captured this week at LiftWerx projects across North America.

We recently collaborated with Fugro, an engineering company who conduct geographical surveys and technical investigations. Where traditional, metal components were no longer meeting Fugro's requirements, they decided to choose Tufcot® composite materials as a durable, non-corrosive solution that could withstand harsh environments. Replacing metal bushings with Tufcot® equivalents is a great example of where Fugro have utilised Tufcot® materials. Here's what Fugro have to say: "𝐖𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐓𝐮𝐟𝐜𝐨𝐭'𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐓𝐮𝐟𝐜𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫.

After years of collaboration, a working group initiated by the DNV-hosted Heavy Lift Exchange Forum, has issued the “Guidance on Stability of Lifts” – a detailed operational guideline for stable and safe heavy lift operations, developed with expertise from BBC Chartering, BigLift Shipping B.V., DNV , Heerema Marine Contractors, Jumbo Maritime, SAL Engineering and United Heavy Lift GmbH & Co. KG. This guideline fills a critical gap by providing clear, step-by-step procedures and assessments, particularly for unique cargo shapes that previously lacked specific guidance. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲? The “Guidance on Stability of Lifts” offers a systematic, flowchart-based approach to planning and evaluating the stability of rigging arrangements. It reflects real-world workflows used by participating companies and provides detailed methods to safer heavy lifting operations. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱: · Comparing and applying key stability assessment methods like Virtual CoG, Kaps and numerical computer simulations in combination with; · factors like wind force, crane movement, CoG shift and friction at lifting points for precise planning. Developed as a collaborative effort by industry leaders, this new guidance empowers engineers and operators to make heavy lifts safer based on decades of operational experience. 👉For detailed guidance, head over to https://lnkd.in/etKmwmfz #HeavyLift #StabilityGuidance #MaritimeSafety #EngineeringExcellence #DNV #SafeLifting Show Less
