Vertical Crane and Rigging’s Post

Whether you're overseeing a construction project, facilitating heavy equipment transportation, or in need of precise heavy lifting, the right crane can make all the difference. However, as you begin to explore the world of crane hire in Brisbane, the question looms: what is the cost of crane hire, and how can you ensure you're getting a fair deal?

Had the privilege of studying the engineering design this week. Pretty powerful how the engineers did the design because the base plates were pinned in both directions, complex bracing system to reduce forces, moment frames in both directions to reduce sway and long span girders to reduce vibrations and noises. I always enjoy relaxing with a cup of tea, while my classical jazz is playing and reading over articles from AISC. The ultimate happy place for me. #steelconstruction #structuralengineering #steeldesign

A video showing the final Truss for the Killaloe River Shannon Crossing leaving Carlow for Thompson of Carlow / Thompson Project Management. These pieces were 40m long and 4.2m wide at their widest. We moved 6 of the at this dimension over the last few months. #WhittenRoadHaualage #HeavyHaulage #AbnormalHaulage #wideload #STGO #noloadtoobig #Scaniatrucks #Oversized #LoadManagement #IrishHaulage #Abnormalload #SpecialistHaualge #convoiexceptionnel #transportation #logistics #freight #transport #industrialengineering #engineering #mechanicalengineering #project #projectmanagement #projectlogistics #projectexecution #projectcargo #breakbulk #heavyhaulage #sondertransport #transportexceptionnel #schwertransport #schwergewicht #industrie #specialvehicleoperations #organisationstalent

Subdivisions and VicRoads This week we are sharing an interesting insight into obtaining statement of compliance for a subdivision project which required a new road construction as conditioned by VicRoads on a planning permit. The development required a new road intersection upgrade which involved many different surveying aspects, including drone footage of the as-built intersection prior to the final compliance being issued. It is common for VicRoads to request as-built information for any works required within their road reserve relating to a subdivision project, so it is important to understand their requirements and plan to capture this data ahead of time to ensure a fast conclusion to any outstanding permit conditions. We are seeing more and more that the subdivision process is expanding to include asset recording and other works-as-executed information by relevant authorities, so it pays to have all tools at your disposal to capture this information.

Check out our latest blog on selecting the right ship-to-shore (STS) crane to enhance port efficiency. At Global Rigging and Transport, we understand the importance of optimising port operations with top-tier equipment. Choosing the right STS crane is crucial for handling the largest vessels, maintaining quick turnaround times, and supporting sustainable operations. Key factors to consider include crane capacity and lifting height, operational speed and efficiency, durability and maintenance requirements, environmental impact, and cost. With the right STS crane, ports can significantly improve their operational efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Ever wonder how often you need to get your crane inspected? They are subject to yearly inspections, with major check-ups required at the 10-year mark and every 5-year mark after that. Trust our team of #HMF specialists to keep your crane running smoothly in between these inspections. #hmfcranes #powertolift #hmfinaction #construction #cranetruck #truckingaustralia #australia

I was at Swan Hunter in 1989. I saw tumbleweed, and empty workshops, but at the same time, a brand new 'Sir Eric Sharp' newbuild waiting to be delivered. The contrast was stark. The decline was inevitable when Japan, then Korean yards benefited from a number of factors, including, and I think we need to remember this, UK help. A&P and Scott Lithgow advised Hyundai on shipyard layout, providing ship designs, production methods, and personnel to train the South Korea shipyard workers. Senior management in Scott Lithgow in defence saying that if they did not do it someone else would, and they knowingly were contributing to their own UK shipyard demise. The recent UK NSO National Shipbuilding Strategy has an ambitious plan for UK shipbuilding and skills gaps, but for that, it needs a 30 year forward order book, which will primarily be defence work, to gain momentum, confidence and avoid 'the 'boom and bust' of grass getting a foothold, and workers and skills getting other jobs elsewhere. The commercial shipbuilding orderbook targets are as yet, not market assessed. These comments from Michael Grey are food for thought on the realities of that. It may be too late for some ship types to ever be built in UK again.

Happy to share Michael Grey's insightful recent article on the Shipbuilding Industry in UK. Michael Grey Published on:  28 Jun 2024, It was at least forty years ago that the late Derek Kimber, one of the UK’s few successful shipbuilders at the time, observed that, “Once the grass has grown on a shipyard building berth, it is very unlikely to ever open again.” And it was a prophetic remark, with the UK and indeed much of Europe’s shipbuilding industry, being in free fall, with both sharply reduced demand and an inability to compete with the thrusting shipbuilders of the Far East.

Have looked at this vedio twice ,am still unsatisfied? Simple questions? 1.Is this the normal way to construct a rail line with people at high risk ? 2.How about noise and vibration ? 3.Fly rocks Risks 4.The team torquing whilst on a live equipment 5.whats the procedure in terms of communication 6.is this a latest technology or old kind of constructing a rail line. Please those with knowledge in rail construction share your knowledge !
