Crane Operation Test. Verifying the operating and control parameters of the newly installed and assembled bridge crane.

🎥 Lifting from Fixed to Floating: Navigating the Challenges 🌊 Lifting components from fixed structures to floating vessels can be challenging, especially during the crucial touchdown and lift-off moments. These moments are critical to ensure the safety of both the module and the vessel. At Conbit, we've made it our specialty to develop lifting solutions that tackle these challenges head-on. Here are some key strategies to mitigate the risks: 🔹 Ensure the lifting structure allows for high-speed lifting. 🔹 Equip the lift winch with sufficient capacity and speed to counteract sea motions. 🔹 Use a DP2 vessel capable of maintaining a steady position. 🔹 Meticulous planning of the entire operation, including a comprehensive HAZID process. 🔹 Have experienced personnel onsite to oversee the operation. 👇🏼 Some people claim that these lifts can only be done with motion compensated lift systems or motion compensated decks. What do you think? 👇🏼 While some argue that these lifts require motion-compensated systems or decks, our approach often makes the need for large crane vessels obsolete. By installing our lifting system directly on the fixed offshore asset, we enable direct lifts from a supply vessel, providing a more efficient and cost-effective solution. Interested in how we can support your operations? Reach out to me or any of my colleagues. Let's discuss how we can help you achieve seamless and safe lifts from fixed to floating. 🚢 #Offshore #Lifting #FlareTip #FixedtoFloating #ThePowerofPreparation

#CriticalLift #TechnipEnergies #AHC #Lifting A "critical lift" is defined as any non-routine crane lift requiring detailed planning and additional or unusual safety precautions. Critical lifts include: lifts made where the load weight is greater than 75% of the rated capacity of the crane; lifts which require load to be lifted, swung or placed out of the operator's view ; lifts made with more than one crane; lifts involving non-routine/technically difficult rigging arrangement; hoisting personnel with a crane or derrick; or any lift which the crane operator believes should be critical. #Construction #Safety #Lifting #TEN #AHC #EGYPT #Safelifting

LOADING OF DRY BULK ON OFFSHORE PSV/OSV VESSELS. My last post, I explained simple steps to follow for dry bulk operation. Below is the process for loading of dry bulk. After obtaining Cargo manifest, MSDS and all other safety measures for safe operation, below is the following steps for loading. 1. Switch on the control panel in the wheel house. 2. Carry out lamp and alarm buzzer test to make sure they are functioning. 3. Open control air the valve control cabinet 4. Confirm that hose is connected for both vent and receiving and vent hose in water. 5. Open vent V/V, fill V/V and common V/V for fill/discharge. 6. Confirm that deck manifold V/V for both vent and load/disch manifold are open. 7. Inform the Truck or Rig to start blowing first for about 3-5 minutes, to make sure the lines are free. 8. After blowing, then loading commence. 9. when the tank is almost full, high level alarm lamp lit and buzzer sounds. At this point you can change tank if the product is not complete. 10. when product is complete, the fill line is purged with air supply station to make sure the lines are free. 11. The fill v/v, vent v/v and common line valve is close. 12. Close the deck manifold valve and then disconnect the hose. 13. shut down power of the control panel from the wheel house and call the ECR to close control air. Above is the full process for loading dry bulk on-board. In the future I will post on discharging dry bulk. #Marineengineering #Seafarers #Offshoreindustry #Crewing #Recruiters #Marinejobs #Crewmanager

NATE is pleased to announce the release of an updated version of the Base Mounted Hoist Operator Guidelines. This revised document offers an in-depth compilation of best practices, alongside the latest requirements from the ANSI/ASSP A10.48-2023 standard. It covers essential aspects of base-mounted hoists, including details on the hoist system, operator qualifications and responsibilities, an inspection checklist, and recommended rigging methods. The NATE Base Mounted Hoist Operator Guidelines document is available to both NATE Members and Non-Members. You can download your copy https://bit.ly/3ZQP6Sz.

**Tower Crane Daily Safety Checks** **Daily Pre-Start Checks and Anti-Collision Tests** Before a tower crane is put into operation each day, it is essential to conduct thorough daily pre-start checks and anti-collision tests. This is especially crucial on days with adverse weather conditions, such as icy conditions, as frozen hoist drums and sheaves can prevent the crane from hoisting. **Pre-Start Checks** Pre-start checks involve a comprehensive inspection of the crane, including: * Checking tower bolts during the climb up * Visually inspecting the drums, sheaves, and other components on the back jib * Conducting additional visual checks of the crane's overall condition **Anti-Collision Tests** After completing the pre-start checks, the crane operators must perform anti-collision tests with any neighboring cranes. These tests ensure that the cranes can operate safely without colliding with each other. **Safety First** The commitment to safety demonstrated by the London Tower Cranes team at the Vistry Group project in Beam Park is commendable. Their thorough pre-start checks and anti-collision tests exemplify the importance of prioritizing safety in all crane operations. **Communication** Given the close proximity of three saddle jib cranes and two luffing cranes, it is crucial to maintain situational awareness before changing directions. In addition to radios, this site is equipped with Blockcam and block alert systems, which enhance safety and communication.
