KEEPING YOUR CRANES SAFE

HACKERS

FROM

By Emily Buenzle CEG WEB EDITOR

here’s no doubt that remotely controlled construction equipment is a huge advantage for crews across job sites everywhere, but as with any innovation, it carries its own set of risks. One danger that researchers have unearthed is the ability for hackers to control remotely operated construction equipment with little effort. Researchers from security software company Trend Micro recently put this risk to the test. Researchers Frederico Maggi and Marco Balduzzi toured Italy’s Lombardi region in March 2018, attempting to convince construction site managers they met along the way to allow them to try to hack their cranes, Forbes reported. Although many managers turned down their offer, one named Matteo agreed. First, Maggi and Balduzzi asked Matteo to turn off his transmitter, the sole way the crane could be controlled on the site, and put the crane into the “stop” position. Then, using laptops powered with the battery of the red Volkswagen Polo they were driving, Maggi and Balduzzi made an attempt to gain control of the equipment by running their code. Within seconds, the previously stationary crane began to move. After this first successful hacking attempt, Maggi and Balduzzi tried their luck at 14 other job sites, where they hacked

and controlled cranes, excavators, scrapers and other pieces of equipment.

How It Works The problem, according to Trend Micro, isn’t with technological advancements in the construction industry, but rather with the continued use of old methods to control these machines. Radio frequency controllers, which are used for remotely controlled construction equipment, like the cranes Maggi and Balduzzi hacked, work by sending out radio waves that pair with a command that is interpreted and executed by a receiver. Trend Micro determined that “weaknesses in the controllers can be (easily) taken advantage of to move full-sized machines such as cranes used in construction sites and factories … we were able to perform the attacks quickly and even switch on the

controlled machine despite an operator’s having issued an emergency stop (e-stop). “The core of the problem lies in how, instead of depending on wireless, standard technologies, these industrial remote controllers rely on proprietary RF protocols, which are decades old and are primarily focused on safety at the expense of security,” Trend Micro said. “It wasn’t until the arrival of Industry 4.0, as well as the continuing adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), that industries began to acknowledge the pressing need for security.” For perspective, Trend Micro said that it found garage door remote controllers that use radio frequency to be more secure than industrial remotes. Potential hackers have the ability to perform their attacks in a variety of ways, Trend Micro said: • Local attacks: Hackers within range may not have any advanced skills, and would merely need a software-defined radio (SDR) to record a command and then replay it. Add in signal amplifiers and a good antenna, and a hacker could gain control of the equipment in question from miles away. • Remote attacks: These attacks can occur in different manners — a hacker could plant a small, battery-operated embedded device in the target range, which can be controlled remotely for the length of the battery’s charge. Otherwise, a hacker could use a computer to program software or control remotes to take over the machine.

And since industrial remote controllers last much longer — and cost more to replace — than their run-of-the-mill, commercial counterparts, many pieces of

equipment could be easy targets for a decade or longer. Micro Trend reported it found that many of these remote controllers had been in use for 15 years or

longer. While it’s clear that an attack such as this is possible — who would want to do something like this in the first place, and why? According to Micro Trend, casual attackers could be close by — a contractor or an unhappy worker. And while the motivations behind this kind of attack could be infinite, Micro Trend pointed out that three key motivations include sabotage, theft and extortion.

What You Can Do According to Micro Trend, construction companies can fight back against this risk by: • Applying patches as needed to stop hackers from using a system’s weak points to gain entry; • Considering devices that have virtual fencing features, which disable the device when the remote controller steps out of range; and • Switching from proprietary radio frequency protocols to standard ones. CEG recently spoke with Joel Oliva, director of operations at the Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators about this issue.

“We’ve been an organization that has always focused on the individual behind the machines,” said Oliva. “As [the industry] moves into more automation, there must be proper controls in place to avoid those scenarios. Every new technology has new problems to overcome. We will continue to do what we are doing on the operator side and track the progress.” Although the risk of hackers controlling the equipment on your job site is real, with the right preparation, you and your crew don’t have to be left vulnerable. After all, you want your cranes to help you reach new heights, and with a bit of awareness of the risks, they’ll help you rise even higher.

RT CRANE SALES More than 4,700 units of rough terrain cranes will be sold in 2018 and the market is likely to witness a steady growth with 3.7 percent Y-o-Y in 2018 over 2017, as per Fact.MR valuation. Overall growth of the rough terrain (RT) crane market can be attributed to, • A steady stream of construction projects in the pipeline • Improving landscape of rough terrain crane rental services • Demand in multiple industries ranging from civil constructions to government projects “After a significant period of stabilizing demand, the rough terrain crane market is coming to the fore and witnessing a steady progress. As the government’s emphasize on capacity expansion of the utilities sector and infrastructure development, demand for rough terrain cranes has witnessed a constant upward trend in the past decade and a market of nearly $2,400 million is anticipated in 2018,” said a senior analyst at Fact.MR. According to the study, the sales of rough terrain cranes with up to 38.6 tons (35 t) lifting capacity will witness a surge of nearly 60 units in 2018 as compared to the previous year. Increasing demand for compact yet efficient heavy duty equipment in the construction sector has led to the significant adoption of up to 38.6 t RT cranes.

Demand on the Rise

GROW

The study opines that RT cranes with 38.5 to 55 ton (35 to 50 t) lifting capacity is witnessing a rapid adoption on the back of increasing demand for greater lifting capacity. Although the units sold remains greater for lower lifting capacity RT cranes, in terms of value the RT cranes market will garner increased revenues from the higher lifting capacity cranes owing to higher equipment pricing. On the same lines, 38.5 to 55 ton rough terrain cranes will occupy almost $100 million more than up to 38.6 tons RT cranes in 2018. RT cranes market continues to witness growing demand in oil and gas industry. Fact.MR study finds that the oil and gas industry will hold over one third sale of RT cranes in 2018. The higher demand can be attributed to increasing efforts of rental companies and original manufactures for market share expansion. Demand for RT cranes in the construction sector, is expected to follow the oil and gas industry wherein steady development in the construction sector across global countries will lead to sales of more than 1,080 units in 2018. Growing government emphasis on renewable energy generation is expected to be the prime factor responsible for the rapid growth of RT cranes market in wind farms at over 4 percent Y-o-Y in 2018 over 2017.

POWER DOWN GETS A LIFT Dominion Energy Virginia, a unit of Dominion Energy Inc., finalized purchase of a Link-Belt 150-ton (135-t) RTC-80150 Series II for North Anna Power Station in Mineral, Va. A scheduled shutdown every 18 months for the generating plant requires repairs and maintenance around the clock for a 30-day period. During the shutdown, several critical component lifts are made, including replacement of an 80,000 lb. (36,287 kg), 7,000 hp (5,219 kW) electric motor that powers the reactor coolant pump or an 18,000 lb. (8,164 kg) vessel cover that requires being picked and carried 300 ft. (91.4 m) around existing components. “Our RTC-80150 stays right next to the material deck by the containment hatch for the lift to replace the old motor. We place it behind the crane until the new unit comes in on a tractor/trailer. The new unit is lifted and swung 45 degrees to the top deck and the old motor is then placed on the trailer. We lifted them at about a 28-foot radius with 71.5 feet of boom out,” said

Adam Livingstone, general foreman at North Anna Power Station. “This crane has the small footprint and long boom needed for this facility,” said North Anna Facilities Support Superintendent Kenneth Boyd. “It cut our time down to a fraction of what we were spending before. Days before a lift, we would have to spend a lot of time and effort just moving components to fit a truck crane in. The RTC-80150 has the capacity for a valve replacement, or the reach for all of our preventative maintenance,” said Boyd. The RTC-80150 Series II is able to maneuver between the huge concrete containment dome and an adjoining building with various components at their perimeter. An older 65-ton crane could have fit through the alley way that is about 11 ft. wide to the destination, but didn’t have the reach to set certain high valves in the confined space. With a smaller footprint than the 65-ton crane, the RTC-80150 maneuvered into the

Japan Held Nearly One Third Market Share in 2017, APEJ Followed Suit

The study estimates that Japan, with the headquarters of leading manufacturers in the rough terrain crane market, will continue to occupy nearly one third of the market share in 2018. Manufacturers such as Tadano and Kobelco are making greater strides in the RT cranes market by capacity expansion and increasing global footprints. The study shows that APEJ closely follows Japan in terms of rough terrain crane sales. A significant focus on the infrastructure development in APEJ countries growing investments of crane manufacturers in the region has led to a generation of over one fourth of the total sales in 2018. Considering the cost-intensive nature of the rough terrain cranes, rental services are thriving as end users continue to prefer renting over owning. Further, identifying the emerging opportunities of increasing investments in non-residential infrastructure and government work, companies are improving distribution tie-ups with rental companies.

SACHUSETTS

MASTERPIECE

eavily congested construction sites

like the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge spanning the Massachusetts Turnpike in Boston pose a problem for planning agencies. Conventional bridge construction projects can take years to complete and impede the traffic patterns throughout construction, which does not appeal to the public. Alternatively, accelerated bridge construction (ABC) impacts traffic more significantly but for a shorter time. The Commonwealth Avenue Bridge is a major Boston thoroughfare. Roughly 200,000 people each day rely on the Turnpike and bridge to get to their destinations, which includes nearby Boston University, Boston College and Harvard. With so much riding on the project, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Mass DOT) decided on ABC to replace the 53-year-old structure. ABC condensed the estimated 3-year conventional bridge construction project into two intense, meticulously planned short-lived masterpieces. The Mass DOT contract called for the eastbound bridge lanes to be demolished and replaced in 2017 and then the westbound in 2018. The prime contractor had just 20 days to complete total reconstruction of the eastbound lanes and chose a 1,600-ton (1,450t) class crawler crane for all the heavy lifting. It was positioned and rigged below the bridge on a portion of the Massachusetts Turnpike. While it had the capacity, “crane assembly time hurt the contractor for such a short-duration project and resulted in extra work and expense during mobilization,” said Gary Spencer, general manager of Hallamore Corporation of Holbrook, Mass. When it came time to repeat the process in just 15 days for the westbound bridge, lessons learned from the 2017 process had the prime contractor working with Hallamore to devise a lift plan with a shorter crane set-up time. Hallamore’s strategy included using two 600-ton (500-t) class all terrain cranes — the Demag AC 500-8 and AC 500-1 — one working on Commonwealth Avenue and the other from the Massachusetts Turnpike. “Using a crawler crane would have been extremely difficult for this phase due to the incline where the crane had to be positioned,” said Spencer. 14

ABC, CRANES GIVES PROJECT A QUICK LIFT When it came time to work on the westbound bridge, lessons learned from the 2017 process had the prime contractor working with Hallamore to devise a lift plan with a shorter crane set-up time.

A Need for Speed The monumental task required installing 45 bridge beams with lengths ranging up to 165 ft. (50.3 m) and weights up to 66 tons (60 t). The cranes also placed 214 precast concrete deck panels weighing up to 19,500 lb. (8.8 t) and positioned abutment backwall panels weighing up to 59,000 lb. (26.8 t) each. “Mass DOT requires a load factor, which, of course, was included while planning the lift,” said Justin Melvin, territory manager of Empire Crane Company, a Terex Cranes authorized distributor. While the number of travel lanes was restricted during the planned 15-day construction period, the Mass Turnpike remained open, which created some congestion for crane positioning. “We knew it was going to be tight, so our 600-U.S.-ton Demag cranes were the best choice,” said Spencer. Andrew Longacre, regional business manager of Terex Cranes, added, “The AC 500-8 has a carrier length of just over 56 feet, making it the most compact eight-axle crane in its class, perfect for accessing congested sites.” Both cranes were quickly mobilized, along with 12 to 13 truckloads of counterweight and rigging materials for each crane, to the Commonwealth Avenue

Bridge from Hallamore’s Holbrook yard, approximately 25 mi. away. Hallamore has used its AC 500-1 crane for nearly 15 years. “It has been very dependable for us, and that is why we decided to purchase the AC 500-8 for this project,” said Spencer. Hallamore purchased the Demag AC 500-8 for this project from Empire Crane, which is based in Syracuse, N.Y., and has branches in Bridgewater, N.J., and Boston, Mass. The Hallamore family and the Lonergan brothers, owners of Empire Crane, have done business together for more than 25 years, including multiple crane sales, parts and crane service. The new crane arrived just weeks before the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge project. Terex Cranes and Empire representatives worked with Hallamore to make sure it was ready for days of intense, round-theclock lifting. “Crane set-up went flawlessly, so we were confident it was ready for the project,” said Spencer. During initial set-up, Spencer and his crane operator noticed some differences between the new crane and the 2003-vintage model. The additional tie-off points on the new AC 500-8 crane were appreciated, since they enhanced safe rigging of the mobile crane.

The new IC-1 Plus control system also caught Spencer’s eyes. “The crane functions are very similar between the two cranes, but the control system on the new crane is touch-screen and a lot easier to operate,” he said. IC-1 Plus is designed to provide the crane’s maximum allowable lifting capacity, based on slewing angle, for main boom operation. “The capacity charts of the AC 500-8 are improved over our older crane,” said Spencer. “We have another job upcoming where the older AC 500-1 does not offer the capacity to complete, but the AC 500-8 does.”

The monumental task required installing 45 bridge beams with lengths ranging up to 165 ft. (50.3 m) and weights up to 66 tons (60 t).

Working in Combination The AC 500-1 crane drove into its spot on the Massachusetts Turnpike, and Hallamore’s crew rigged it in-place with full 352,800 lb. (160 t) of counterweight in about 4 hours, a fraction of the time it would have taken to fully erect a crawler crane. Due to crane positioning for the lifts, Hallamore’s crew did not need to rig this crane with the sideways superlift (SSL) structure. The newer AC 500-8 crane was positioned on Commonwealth Avenue, nearby the bridge. The lift plan called for the use of its full 183.7-ft. (56-m) telescopic boom to pick the concrete panels. Since operating radius reached 168 ft. (51.2 m), crews rigged this crane with its full 396,800-lb. (180-t) counterweight stack and SSL for additional lifting capacity. “Even with the SSL, we were still hookready within 6 hours,” said Spencer. During bridge span demolition, the AC 500-1 removed girders and worked its way toward the abutment span by span. In just 36 hours, spans 1 and 2 were completely removed. “In total, Hallamore removed 1,700 U.S. tons of scrap steel,” said Melvin. For reconstruction, the AC 500-8 lifted and positioned 8 beams weighing up to 33,200 lb. (15 t) using 154.9 ft. (46.9 m) of boom length. Based on span location, operating radius was set at either 120 or 128 ft. (36.6 or 39 m). The lifts required 17,700 lb. (8 t) of rigging and block weight that had to be accounted for, plus the 1.5 times load safety factor. “The heaviest girder lift was positioned with 154.9 feet of boom at a 120 foot radius, which gave crews a capacity of 76,500 pounds, enough to allow them to complete the lift with safety factor,” said Longacre. From Turnpike level, the AC 500-1 worked closer to the spans to make several heavy picks. The heaviest weighed 78,800 lb. (35.7 t), giving it a total load weight with rigging and hook block of 96,500 lb. (43.8 t). Factoring in the Mass DOT safety requirements, the crane needed to rate at 144,800 lb. (65.7 t) to complete the lift.

“We handled this load with 106.9 ft. of boom at a 65-ft. radius, which gave us a 160,300-lb. capacity,” said Spencer. The precast concrete road and light rail deck panels were placed by both Demag cranes. Panel weights for the AC 500-8 crane ranged from 4,100 to 19,500 lb. (1.9 to 8.8 t), placed with 183.7 ft. (56 m) of boom at a maximum radius of 168 ft. (51.2 m). Panel picks for the AC 500-1 were made with 170 ft. (51.8 m) of boom at a maximum 157-ft. (47.9-m) radius. Once the panels were in place, 680 cu. yd. (520 cu m) of concrete and 580 tons (526 t) of asphalt finished the process. From late July through early August, an average of 200 people worked two, 12hour shifts to complete demolition and

reconstruction of the 380-ft. (116-m) long Commonwealth Avenue Bridge. With up to $1 million per-day disincentive for not meeting the project’s major milestones of opening light rail, commuter rail and the bridge, the risk was high. For the traveling public, the reward was even higher. “It was an incredibly tight timeline, but our Demag cranes and all workers performed flawlessly to complete each milestone on time or ahead of schedule,” said Spencer.

BOOMING

CRANE LINK-BELT

SALES

C.D. Smith Construction of Fond du Lac, Wis., has many construction projects in the region. The company continues to grow and add to its fleet of Link-Belt cranes. In 18 months, the package order through Link-Belt distributor Dawes Rigging and Crane Rental of Kaukauna, Wis., included several Link-Belt 110-ton (100 t) 218 HSL lattice crawler cranes; a 250-ton (227 t) 298 Series 2 with full luffing attachment; and 80ton (72.5 t) RTC-8080 Series II. C.D. Smith took ownership of its first Link-Belt 250-ton 298 Series 2 lattice crawler crane with 170 ft. (51.8 m) of main boom and 195 ft. (59.4 m) luffing jib in spring 2018 in part for an $84 million addition at Germantown High School in Germantown, Wis. “The amount of reach and capacity we gain with the 298 Series 2 made it a perfect addition to our fleet,” said Cory Schultz, equipment and crane manager of C.D. Smith Construction.

DEMAG

Mammoet Deutschland GmbH is a provider of engineered heavy lifting and transport in Germany. The company has four locations in Leuna, Ludwigshafen, Krefeld and Flensburg. In the Netherlands, the company gained experience with the Demag AC 55-3 all-terrain crane. So, it decided to purchase the first of that particular model to be used in Germany. “The main reason why we chose the Demag AC 55-3 is its outstanding lifting capacity. In addition, the AC 55-3 is an extraordinarily robust and reliable crane, as our Dutch colleagues have confirmed,” said Vitor da Costa, of Mammoet’s fleet maintenance staff. With this purchase, Mammoet continues the expansion of its Terex and Demag fleet. (L-R) are Vitor da Costa, fleet maintenance and repair manager, Mammoet; Alexander Morasch, crane operator, Mammoet; Uwe Schlicher, key account senior sales manager, Terex Cranes; and Beatrix Bader, commercial operation coordinator, Terex Cranes.

LINK-BELT

Dallas, Texas, based Ed Bell Construction Inc. expanded into bridge work almost two decades ago. At the time, its line-up of 50-ton (45 t) rough-terrain cranes was used to its full extent. In 2018, the company purchased a Link-Belt 75-ton (68 t) 75RT to begin the process of modernizing its fleet to handle some of the larger, heavier lifts in modern road and bridge work. “Getting a bigger, 75-ton crane with basically the same footprint as our older 50-ton rigs gives us better capabilities without retraining our current operators who are all certified up to 75-ton,” said Terry Killingsworth, structures manager of Ed Bell Construction.

AS FOR THE CRANE’S PERFORMANCE AND OPERATION, THE NBT30H-2 TM FEATURES RATED CAPACITY LIMITING (RCL) AND ANTI-TWO BLOCK

(15.5 M)

A1A SOFTWARE LLC CONTINUES TO IMPROVE THE INTERFACE AND FEATURES OF 3D LIFT PLAN, MAKING IT EASIER FOR CUSTOMERS TO USE THE CRANE LIFT PLANNING PROGRAM AS A SALES TOOL, FOR BID PROPOSALS, CRANE SELECTION AND SETUP, LIFT PLANNING AND DOCUMENTATION. “WE HAVE UTILIZED WEBGL TECHNOLOGIES TO ENABLE THE DISPLAY OF 3D CONTENT IN CHROME, FIREFOX AND MICROSOFT EDGE WEB BROWSERS TO IMPROVE THE INTERFACE FOR CUSTOMERS NO MATTER THEIR PREFERRED BROWSER,” SAID TAWNIA WEISS, PRESIDENT OF A1A SOFTWARE. “THIS FLEXIBILITY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE 3D LIFT PLAN IS A CLOUD-BASED PROGRAM, ELIMINATING THE NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE SOFTWARE TO INDIVIDUAL COMPUTERS,” SHE SAID. WHEN USING ONE OF THESE BROWSERS, USERS SIMPLY SELECT THE WEBGL VERSION. NEW FEATURES EXPAND THE OPTIONS FOR USERS AS THEY PLAN WHICH TYPE OF CRANE

(ATB) SYSTEMS. A GRAPHICAL DISPLAY CAPACITY LIMITER AND AN ANTI-TWO BLOCK SYSTEM PROVIDE AUDIO VISUAL WARNINGS AND A CRANE FUNCTION LOCKOUT. A REAL-TIME COLOR DISPLAY SHOWS BOOM ANGLE, LENGTH, RADIUS, TIP HEIGHT, MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE LOAD, LOAD INDICATION AND WARNING OF IMPENDING OVERLOAD CONDITION. THE MACHINE ALSO FEATURES REAL-TIME J1939 TRUCK DIAGNOSTIC AND MONITORING, SUCH AS ENGINE REGEN STATUS, FUEL LEVEL, OIL PRESSURE, BATTERY VOLTAGE AND MORE. FINALLY, A STANDARD WORK AREA DEFINITION SYSTEM (WADS) IS INCLUDED FOR OPERATOR DEFINABLE NON-LOCKOUT WARNING LIMITS. THE NBT30H-2 TM MADE ITS INTERNATIONAL DEBUT AT THE PERMIAN BASIN INTERNATIONAL OIL SHOW IN OCTOBER BEFORE SERIAL PRODUCTION IN Q1 OF 2019. SEVERAL MACHINES HAVE ALREADY BEEN PREORDERED.

1A SOFTWARE LLC 3D LIFT PLAN

PADS OR MATS ARE BEST FOR THE GROUND CONDITIONS. GROUND BEARING CALCULATIONS CAN NOW BE MADE FOR STEEL MATS WITH AN OPTION FOR LAYERING STEEL MATS OVER TIMBER FOR BETTER DISTRIBUTION OF OUTRIGGER LOADS. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE PREVIOUS ABILITY TO SELECT WOOD MATS OR DICA’S SAFETYTECH OR FIBERMAX ENGINEERED OUTRIGGER PADS OR CRANE PADS. LIKEWISE, PRINTOUTS OF THE CRANE MATS IN THE LIFT PLAN NOW DISPLAY CORRESPONDING IMAGES OF STEEL MATS INSTEAD OF WOOD WHEN STEEL MATS ARE SELECTED AS PART OF THE PLAN. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS PROVIDE USERS GREATER CONTROL OF PLANNING FOR UNIQUE LIFTING SCENARIOS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE FLEXIBILITY TO: • OVERRIDE THE BOOM ANGLE WHEN USING A LOAD CHART WITH FIXED BOOM ANGLES; • ESTABLISH ONE CRANE IN SETUP MODE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PUTTING OTHER CRANES IN NORMAL OPERATION MODE FOR THE CREATION OF ERECTION AND DISMANTLING PLANS; AND • KNIFE-JACK A LATTICE BOOM WITH LUFFER TO VERIFY PROCEDURES FOR LOWERING LONG LATTICE/LUFFER COMBOS INTO STOWED POSITION. FINALLY, A NEW RIGGING CONFIGURATION HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE STANDARD OPTIONS IN THE ADVANCED RIGGING DESIGN PORTION OF THE PROGRAM. THE NEW CONFIGURATION FEATURES TWO SPREADER BARS AND FOUR ROLL-BLOCKS. WHEN THIS CONFIGURATION IS SELECTED, 3D LIFT PLAN WILL CALCULATE THE SLING ANGLES AND TENSION. “OUR PROGRAMMERS ARE CONTINUOUSLY WORKING TO IMPROVE THE FEATURES OF 3D LIFT PLAN BASED ON THE FEEDBACK WE RECEIVE FROM CUSTOMERS,” SAID WEISS.

THE TWO-PERSON, STEEL, NON-INSULATED, YOKE-STYLE PLATFORM IS EXTREMELY EFFICIENT TO ATTACH DUE TO ITS ONE PIN SYSTEM AND SELF-CENTERING BOOM NOSE ADAPTER.
