SITE SEEING

How to Be an A+ Crane Signal Person

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

The signal person is one of the most critical roles on a construction site where a crane is in operation. The qualified signaler prevents accidents, ensures solid lift and placement of the load and keeps everyone safe on the ground. The relationship between crane operator and signal person is key to a successful lift. “Signal persons are essentially the eyes and ears of crane operators and have a vital role to play in guiding operations,” said Carmen Zajicek of Crane Warning Systems, Atlanta, Ga. “Correct signaling and communication are crucial for preventing crane accidents from taking place,” she wrote in a blog post for

the company, which provides sales, service and support for Rayco Wylie crane indicators. “Crane operators are expected to move loads by adhering to an established code of signals while using the help of a qualified and trained signal person.” The importance of a signal person is heightened during critical lifts where the crane operator’s view is obstructed and loads are moved solely based on signals, added Zajicek. Radio systems are regularly used between the crane operator and ground crew, including the signaler, to communicate. They’re often used for signal calling, though systems can malfunction. Hand signals are instantaneous and highly effective in noisy environments, said Christie Lagowski, communications manager of Columbus McKinnon, Getzville, N.Y. She believes “it’s the supervisors’ duty to implement every possible measure that boosts safety and productivity.” continued on page 10

OSHA expects a signaler to know and understand each type of signal used at a job site.

from page 9

Qualified to Make the Call The signal person is required to be trained and qualified to serve in this role. Only one signaler can take charge at any moment. If the lift requires two signalers who swap duties, the person in charge must have a clear form of identification. “The crane operator can only follow one signaler at a time and has to obey given signals under every circumstance,” according to Zajicek. OSHA expects a signaler to know and understand each type of signal used at a job site. He or she must be competent in using hand signals. “When working as a signal person in a facility or at a job site, especially those with lots of traffic, it is crucial to understand and use crane operator hand signals,” Lagowski noted in outlining the requirements of a qualified signal person. “These individuals must know all signals for mobile, tower and overhead cranes and have a basic understanding of crane operation,” she said. Charts identifying these hand signals must be posted on equipment or noticeably near hoisting operations. “If modifications are made to any signals, they must be agreed upon by the crane operator, lift director and signal person, and cannot conflict with the standard signals,” she added.

A qualified signal person understands the concepts of speed, clarity, noise and distance working around a crane. He or she knows that relying on hand signals significantly reduces the chances of miscommunication.

Before working on the project, the signal person must undergo evaluation by a qualified in-house or third-party evaluator. The signaler must demonstrate his or her knowledge through oral, written or practical tests. The signaler must understand the crane’s operations and limitations including the dynamics involved in raising, swinging, boom deflection, stopping and lowering loads. And, the signal person must always have a clear view of the crane operator and the work site as a whole. He or she should have a commanding voice. In his or her safety capacity, the signaler must ensure people remain outside the crane area and must never instruct loads be swung directly over people. “A signal person is required when the point of operation is not in full view of the operator, or the crane operator’s view is obstructed in the direction of where the equipment or load is traveling,” according to the Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau (CICB).

Why Qualification Makes Sense A qualified signal person understands the concepts of speed, clarity, noise and distance working around a crane, said Zajicek. A qualified signal person knows that relying on hand signals significantly reduces the chances of miscommunication. He or she has the ability to communicate messages faster than speech. “Anyone who takes on the role of a qualified signal person should be aware of certain responsibilities that go along with the job,” noted a Certified Slings blog post. A qualified signal person is needed not just during standard crane work, but anytime a crane operator does not have a clear range of vision or may feel that their lift area is compromised. But, added the Casselberry, Fla., company, “just to be on the safe side, crane operators often go above and beyond by requesting a qualified signal person for situations that might not even seem threatening.” The lift director on the job site must appoint a qualified signal person before the lift. During crane operation, only one person can give signals, unless it’s for an emergency stop — then anyone on the job site can give the signal, said Lagowski of Columbus McKinnon. “Once the qualified signal person is identified, the signal person and the crane operator must identify each other prior to giving any signals.” During crane operation, signals should be continuous, she said. If at any time a signal is not understood, is not clear, is disrupted or is not audible, the crane operator must stop movement and not give a response. When giving signals, all signs should be from the operator’s perspective. “So, for example, to designate swing left, the signal person would extend their right arm so the operator would swing left.” In addition to hand signals, voice signals can be used. Voice signals must have direction or function, speed or distance; and stop command of prior function, said Lagowski. “For example, a voice command may go something like: ‘Hoist 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet Stop! Swing right 90 degrees, slowly, slowly, Stop! Lower 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet Stop!’” She wrote that when communicating with more than one crane, a procedure or system must be established to identify which crane that the signal is for. “This helps avoid confusion on the part of the crane operator, allowing them to easily identify which crane should respond.”

When working as a signal person in a facility or at a job site, especially those with lots of traffic, it is crucial to understand and use crane operator hand signals.

Choosing a Qualified Evaluator As CICB points out, there are many training programs available for signal person qualification. There are also many third-party qualifying organizations in the industry. Be selective when choosing. “Look for a training company whose curriculum emphasizes the roles and responsibilities of a signal person, proper knowledge of hand signals and knowledge of voice-activated and audible signals,” blogged CICB, Orlando, Fla. A training company well-versed in crane operations and rigging fundamentals with emphasis on rigging inspection, load handling, and how factors such as wind, load and boom deflection, and swing rate can impact load handling and crane operations is critical. Look for an organization that utilizes the latest ASME and OSHA standards and regulations, including the “new” regulation for working around power lines, as well as interactive, hands-on training, coupled with quizzes and testing, suggested CICB. “Remember, properly given hand signals reduces accidents and lost work days, and saves lives.” Online training organization e-Training Inc. suggests starting with the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) for info on what it takes to become a qualified signal person. NCCCO offers a five-part written certification test that covers hand signals, voice communication, basic knowledge of crane operations, site awareness and safety standards and regulations. Exam parameters, found on the NCCCO certification programs web page, include the candidate’s observance of the crane and demonstration of the ability to give the necessary hand and voice signals. Certified Slings said that for regular work with cranes, all qualified signal persons must familiarize themselves with the details of OSHA’s requirements and be aware of all signals that they may encounter in their field. “They should also take time to learn other signals not commonly associated with crane work,” notes the rigging and hardware products manufacturer’s blog post. “More than that, qualified signal persons should show an ability to comprehend and understand what each one means.” Under OSHA regulations, there should also be an understanding of what goes into the entire crane operation process.

“While some might just learn of a crane’s load bearing limitations, a qualified signal person should extend their knowledge base to include all aspects of crane operation from load heights to range of motion,” according to the blog. On its website, Certified Slings lists a set of basic hand signals every qualified signal person should have memorized, beginning with most common signal faced on the job. The Stop motion (one arm extended out horizontally and swung back and forth to the side with palm facing down) can be accompanied by the Emergency Stop signal (same form as the Stop motion but with both arms). When it comes to the movement of the crane itself, additional steps are necessary, said Certified Slings. Standard hand signals that dictate crane movement include: • Raise signal — to raise the boom, an arm is extended out to the side with a thumb pointing up. • Lower signal — the thumb of the extended arm points down to signal that the boom needs lowering. • Hoist signal — the upward-pointing index finger of a single, raised arm draws small circles to hoist. • Swing signal — a horizontally extended arm and index finger point in the direction the boom is meant to swing. “All of these signals are seen in a standard day of crane operation. From there, the signals become more complicated,” according to the blog post.

Additional Signaling Notes The position of a qualified signal person may seem like a solitary job, but it relies on an entire team to maintain safety, said Certified Slings. “Before going to work, any crane team should have a dedicated plan. Every detail should be understood and memorized by each team member.” Once on the site, the entire area should be checked on a daily basis for any obstructions that could block hand signals from being seen. If something seems problematic, all work should stop until the issue can be corrected. Finally, Certified Slings stressed that if someone feels unsafe during a crane operation, he or she should always report the issue to their team as well as any supervisors. “The details should be noted and addressed immediately. If the signal person feels that correct action has not been taken, then they can report the complaint to OSHA officials.”  CQ

Following installation of sheet piling and draining the lock with a coffer dam, D.A. Collins lowered the 248 HYLAB 5 crane down into the dry lock to lift, remove, and position the 100,000 lb. (45,359 kg) lock gates for repairs.

Erie Emergency D.A. Collins Completes Canal Work With 248 HYLAB, ATC-3275 As part of New York State Canal Corporation’s emergency repair program, construction is complete on Erie Canal Lock E-7 in Niskayuna, N.Y. Maintenance and repairs were finalized prior to May 15, 2021, when navigation season of the Erie Canal begins. D.A. Collins Companies (D.A. Collins) of Wilton, N.Y., used its 200-ton (181 t) Link-Belt 248 HYLAB 5 lattice crawler crane and 275-ton (250 t) Link-Belt ATC-3275 all-terrain crane for refurbishment of the lock’s key components — valves, gates, electrical and concrete basin. Following installation of sheet piling and draining the lock with a coffer dam, D.A. Collins lowered the 248 HYLAB 5 crane down into the dry lock to lift, remove, and position the 100,000 lb. (45,359 kg) lock gates for repairs. 12

Tracks, carbody, and lattice boom sections of the 248 HYLAB were lowered (and lifted back out at the conclusion) using D.A. Collins’ ATC-3275 all-terrain crane. The 248 HYLAB rested on timber planks over a group of 7 ft. (2.1 m) tall Flexifloat barges that rose if prolonged rainfall flooded the lock. For operation inside the lock, the 248 HYLAB 5 was outfitted with 90 ft. (27.4 m) of boom to ensure proper motion of the lock gates when they were lifted and moved for maintenance. Steel ramps on either side of the centered floating barge allowed the 248 HYLAB 5 to navigate the full length of the base floor of the lock. Anything beyond the perimeter of the lock footprint, the ATC-3275 was used to reach from above with its full boom and attachment. According to D.A. Collins crane operator Bill Staley, because of the ATC-3275’s long 223 ft. (67.9 m) reach and lift capability, he could reach any of the 45 ft. (13.7 m) wide by 328 ft. (99.9 m) long lock easily.

“This was the first time we had lifted our 248 into and out of a lock, so we communicated with our Link-Belt dealer, CRW Corp. of Williston, Vermont, to get correct information on the lifting points and recommended rigging needed to lift the house of the crane [main transport load] properly. We used rigging custom-made for the lift. It consisted of 16.8 ft. long slings supporting 22,000 lbs. each for the rear legs attached by the rear drum and 12.6 ft. long slings supporting 55,000 lbs. each for the front legs attached inside by the cab and live mast,” explained Staley. Crane tracks were approximately 38,000 lbs (17,236 kg) apiece, and the rigged main crane body weighed 83,500 lbs (37,874 kg), and was lifted at a 36 ft. radius while having a 67 degree boom angle, with 103.4 ft. of boom out in the EM6 mode. The 40,000 lb (18,143 kg) Flexifloat barges were one of the last lifts hoisted by the Link-Belt rig out of the dry chamber. For more information, visit www.linkbelt.com.  D.A.

FIRST HEC Students Learn How to Assemble Manitowoc MLC100-1

Forty students participated in a field day class and watched the crawler crane be assembled and tested.

Students spent the day watching the unit being assembled and tested at the school’s field-testing site shortly after HEC took delivery of the new crane.

“

WE’RE

CERTAINLY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE STUDENTS TRAIN ON SUCH AN INNOVATIVE CRANE WITH SOME OF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN THE INDUSTRY.”

BOB ALBANO

eavy Equipment Colleges of America (HEC) students in Stonecrest, Ga., took part in an assembly safety class on May 19 that used a new Manitowoc MLC100-1. Students spent the day watching the unit being assembled and tested at the school’s field-testing site shortly after HEC took delivery of the new crane. Sixteen HEC instructors and staff conducted the operation, which focused on safety measures to ensure the proper assembly of the 110 ton lattice-boom crawler crane. According to HEC President and CEO Bob Albano, students from the Lattice, Swing Cab, Fixed Cab and Signal & Rigging courses participated, as well as students taking classes focused on heavy equipment. “We had a great day outside at our field site demonstrating assembly procedures and safety protocols to students,” Albano said. “The comments we heard on the MLC100-1 were along the lines of ‘awesome machine,’ and that it has ‘unbelievable control systems.’ We’re certainly pleased to be able to have students train on such an innovative crane with some of the latest technology in the industry.” Instructors also were pleased with the Manitowoc crawler crane. They described the machine as “easy to operate and teach on,” according to Albano. The MLC100-1 purchase was part of a two-unit acquisition — the other crane went to HEC’s Oklahoma City location. The move is part of the school’s strategy to have students practice on modern cranes currently being used by contractors nationwide, giving them real-world experience. “These two new Manitowoc MLC100-1 cranes will reinforce to prospective students that crane operator jobs nowadays are highly specialized and often quite different from outdated perceptions of the industry,” Albano added. HEC is the only Department of Education accredited school for crane operation. The school purchased the two MLC100-1 cranes from longtime Manitowoc dealer H&E Equipment Services, headquartered in Baton Rouge, La.

Five Key Points What to Know About Grove GRT655, GRT655L Rough-Terrain Cranes

Since the launch of the Grove GRT655 and GRT655L rough-terrain cranes in 2017, they have proven a popular model on job sites around the world because of their flexibility. Manitowoc offers the 66 ton rough-terrain crane with two boom versions for different applications: the GRT655 with 114 ft. boom for heavy duty applications and the GRT655L with 141 ft. long boom for those applications where reach is a must. Here are just five reasons behind the success of these models.

The GRT655 and GRT655L offer high capacity and reach in a compact format

At 141 ft., the Grove GRT655L has the longest boom in its class. With this long boom, the rough-terrain crane has the advantage that no additional jib is needed for long distance jobs. And when working with a jib, operators can reach more than 183.7 ft. and nearly 197 ft. at maximum tip height. The standard boom version, the GRT655, has the strongest load charts in its class and is the preferred choice when extra capacity is needed. Both models share a light and compact carrier, weighing only around 38.6 ton and measuring less than 9.8 ft. in width. Therefore, crane operators can drive into narrow spaces such as refineries, power plants and densely populated areas and access a greater variety of job sites, according to the manufacturer.

The GRT655 and GRT655L are extremely easy to transport and maneuver

The Grove GRT655L compact rough-terrain crane can be transported on one trailer in one complete load.

The narrow dimensions of either model — the most compact in their class — make the GRT655 and GRT655L easy to transport on a trailer and they can be shipped in one complete load. In addition, when maneuvering around a job site, operators benefit from all-wheel steering with a choice of four steering modes — twowheel front, two-wheel rear, fourwheel crab and four-wheel coordinated. In coordinated mode, the crane has a turning radius of just 21 ft., allowing it to access even the most congested sites.

Operation of the GRT655 and GRT655L is quick and intuitive

The Manitowoc Crane Control System (CCS) makes it intuitive to set up, control and command the crane. This system is in common with all-terrain cranes, as well as truck-mounted and crawler cranes. Data is put into the CCS using a jog dial on the right armrest and/or the buttons on the two displays. This can easily be done even when wearing gloves. The speed and ramp of each movement can be customized according to individual operator preferences. Many The user-friendly options are available for the less experienced to the most expeCrane Control System rienced operator, and advanced troubleshooting and diagnostics (CCS) interface helps are provided on board. the operator to comThe GRT655 and GRT655L also offer very high single line hoist plete jobs quickly and speed and pull, making them very productive cranes that comaccurately. plete the job quickly.

The GRT655 and GRT655L have a low total cost of ownership

The GRT655 and GRT655L include many features that reduce maintenance requirements and increase component service life. For example, by mounting the outriggers’ jack cylinders upside down, the chrome part of the cylinder and the seals are protected against sand, dust and general contaminants. Furthermore, it has a hydraulic braking system, instead of the pneumatic variety often seen in the industry. For Grove rough-terrain cranes, this eliminates the need for a separate system and maintenance. Finally, the ECO mode and hydraulic load sensing system reduce fuel consumption by up to 30 percent compared to older models. The hydraulic load sensing system sends oil only when it is needed, leading to less overheating, less wear and less fuel consumption. These savings combine to deliver a low total cost of ownership.

The cab on the Grove GRT655L rough-terrain crane is tiltable up to 20 degrees.

Comfort and visibility from the GRT655 and GRT655L cab

The GRT655 and GRT655L have a full vision cab with minimal blind spots. In addition, the cab can be tilted up to 20 degrees, helping the operator to stay comfortable and productive when working with the 141 ft. long boom or a jib on top of that. The GRT655 and the GRT655L are the only 66 ton rough-terrain cranes with a tiltable cab. The effective heating and air conditioning system, with multiple vents to increase air flow, also helps the operator to stay focused and feel comfortable even on hot summer days. When entering and exiting the cab, flat decking on the chassis, grab handles around the cab and steps to access the crane on all four sides offer support, ensuring the operator can maintain a three-point contact with the crane at all times.

The Grove GRT655L’s Eco mode and hydraulic load sensing system reduce fuel consumption.

Seven steel erection companies have been named as recipients in the annual project of the year awards by the Steel Erectors Association of America (SEAA). One winner was selected in each of four categories based on the dollar amount of the erection contract. In addition, three companies received honorable mention. Categories are Class I up to $500,000; Class II $500,000 to $1 million; Class III $1 to 2.5 million; and Class IV over $2.5 million. Three of the projects were part of broader redevelopment plans in the local communities where they were built, and five of them house centers for cultural expression — including performing arts, sports and a museum.

Chosen by an independent panel of judges, the companies received notice of their awards in April 2021 for projects that were topped out in either 2019 or 2020. “Erectors often work in close collaboration with other teams and trades, and sometimes the customer. Challenges frequently deal with logistics, crane selection and rigging methods, and execution of complicated connection plans,” said Alan Sears, SEAA awards committee chairman. “We congratulate these companies for excellent delivery of these unique structural steel construction projects.”

2021 Project of the Year Winners Hodges Erectors Inc., for Turnberry Ocean Club condo entrance, Sunny Isles, Fla. — Class I for erection contracts up to $500,000

SEAA Awards Steel Erectors for Contributions to Community Projects

Hodges Erectors Inc. used a tower crane for unloading and erection for about half of the project, but had to bring in a 450-ton mobile crane, properly shored, to set up on a parking garage to complete the job. 22

This oceanfront condominium tower was built to provide a luxury lifestyle for residents, which starts with a grand entrance composed of a free spanning structure. The frame of plate girder and tube steel spans 150 ft. from the building façade to a water fall feature. Because the curved beams are under compression at both ends, the structure was able to be erected without intermediate support columns. One of the main challenges was the number of mobilizations required due to sequencing. Hodges Erectors used a tower crane for unloading and erection for about half of the project, but had to bring in a 450ton mobile crane, properly shored, to set up on a parking garage to complete the job. FM Steel LLC, for Talking Stick Resort arena renovations, Phoenix, Ariz. — Class II for $500,000 to $1 million This job is part of the $230 million Project 201 PHX Reimagined redevelopment to convert a small, dated arena into a new venue for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury basketball teams. “The 125 tons of steel that we stuffed in between the existing roof structure was designed to hold new visuals for fans,” said Michael Mulsow. This steel structure will hold a new a center-hung scoreboard that is six times larger than the previous videoboard, and two new LED ribbon boards. This project required multiple mobilizations in order to work around home games. In addition, limited headroom for the crane, meant that some steel was transferred in mid-air from the crane using bull rigging techniques.

This one-of-a-kind structure required extensive planning and coordination from United Steel, including utilizing three cranes working in unison on a tight site to install a 135 ft. diameter trussed ring that supports a 60,000 lb. cable-supported center mast and several cable-supported “flying masts.”

United Steel Inc., for Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater, Bridgeport, Conn. — Class III for $1 million to $2.5 million Conversion of a dilapidated ballpark into an amphitheater is part of a larger economic redevelopment plan for the south side of Bridgeport. The joint venture between the city of Bridgeport and Harbor Yard Amphitheater in association with Live Nation Entertainment will house concerts, graduations, community events and festivals. The hallmark of the building is a 125 ft. high tensile roof and unique 107 ft. high pavilion entrance, which is complemented by a 25 ft. oculus. This one-of-a-kind structure required extensive planning and coordination utilizing three cranes working in unison on a tight site to install a 135 ft. diameter trussed ring that supports a 60,000 lb. cablesupported center mast and several cable-supported “flying masts.” Deem Structural Service for Buddy Holly Hall performing arts center, Lubbock, Texas — Class IV for over $2.5 million

Adding to the complexity of the job for Deem Structural Service was a project-withina-project — the erection of the funnel cloud shaped stair, comprised of double-axis HSS tubing, supported only by cantilevered steel at each floor level.

FM Steel's Talking Stick Resort project required multiple mobilizations in order to work around home games. In addition, limited headroom for the crane, meant that some steel was transferred in mid-air from the crane using bull rigging techniques.

Part of downtown Lubbock’s revitalization efforts, a 220,000 sq. ft. performing arts center honors the area’s musical heritage of the 1950s. The first-class music venue features a 13-ton stair, shaped like a funnel cloud to remember the tragic tornado of 1970, and a guitar wall consisting of more than 9,000 pieces of cast aluminum guitar picks depicting Buddy Holly. Complicated sequencing, limited site space, monitoring major truss deflections and bracing were among the challenges of the job. In addition, connection design was delegated to the steel team. Adding to the complexity of the job was a project-within-aproject — the erection of the funnel cloud shaped stair, comprised of double-axis HSS tubing, supported only by cantilevered steel at each floor level. continued on page 24

Honorable Mentions High Plains Steel Services LLC, for Hunters Overlook Bridge, Windsor, Colo. — Class I A 168 ft. clear span bridge over a private reservoir for a private residence was purchased from a bridge supplier, but the construction method proposed by the supplier was drastically over budget. High Plains Steel was brought into the project when the customer realized the initial plan was not feasible. High Plains Steel worked with the customer’s crane supplier to devise an alternative construction method that saved tens of thousands in costs. CAS Steel Erectors Inc., for International African American Museum, Charleston, S.C. —Class III South Carolina presents unique construction challenges in that it is a multi-hazard zone subject to hurricanes, earthquakes and flooding. A 41,760 sq. ft. elevated structure, which will house a new museum, required numerous moment and seismic welds and use of an unprecedent zero tolerance brick relief system. The complex project was further complicated by an aggressive schedule amid COVID-19, requiring additional health and safety protocols. CAS Steel Erectors built a temporary canopy with cantilevered beams and scaffolding to temporarily shore the cantilevered beams at elevation until moment welds were completed. In all, hundreds of inches of field welding was required for connections, which included 220 standard moment connections and 110 rigid frame moment welds. Cooper Steel for Belmont University Performing Arts Center, Nashville, Tenn. — Class IV A multi-purpose theater, designed to house two event spaces, features a dome ceiling and arch entryways. Cooper Steel served as the fabricator and managed the erection on the project, which was performed by fellow SEAA member Sentry Steel Service.

High Plains Steel worked with a customer’s crane supplier when the customer's realized its initial plan was not feasible.

CAS Steel Erectors built a temporary canopy with cantilevered beams and scaffolding to temporarily shore the cantilevered beams at elevation until moment welds were completed.

In all, 14 trusses were erected. They weighed up to 21.5 tons and measured 91 ft. With minimal laydown area available, the trusses were erected directly off the trailer and delivery times had to be carefully coordinated. To speed up the process, Cooper Steel pre-fabricated large pieces of steel off site. In addition, the dome — consisting of 400 individual pieces with an accuracy tolerance of ½ in. — required specific angles, sizing and erection sequences.
