Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental Convenes Annual Safety Meeting Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental held its annual safety meeting on Feb. 26, with 130 employees from the company’s four locations in attendance. The meeting presentations centered on ways to improve safety and reviewed some specific safety requirements of the new OSHA Cranes & Derricks in Construction Final Rule 1926.1400. Steve Freckmann, Dawes general manager, and Rick Peters, engineering and safety manager, presented initiatives for improving the company’s overall safety. Planned tactics include increasing the number of job site safety audits and expanding the safety committee at each of the four Dawes branches to include more field and shop employees. As a member of the ALL Family of Companies, Dawes is emulating the corporate-wide effort to involve everyone in improving safety. Pete Nowak, assistant safety director, presented “Hazard Recognition and Safety Culture.” He discussed the negative impact of accidents on the employee, such as loss of earnings, discomfort due to injury, and loss of mobility to enjoy personal time, as well as the negative effects on the company, such as lost time by fellow workers, lost time for repairing damaged equipment, overhead costs, and damage to the company’s rep-
utation and EMR rating. Using a safety wheel to illustrate, Nowak recommended a preventive cycle of recognize, correct, and prevent. Guest Speakers Guest speaker Bob Pendowski, lineman trainer of WE Energies, discussed power line safety and explained proper procedures for working around both high- and lowvoltage lines. He also explained the new 20-ft. (6 m) power line setback rule (OSHA 1926.1407). David Johnson, an attorney for SmithAmundsen in Chicago and a crane accident specialist, offered analyses of crane accidents and their causes and discussed responsibilities of the personnel involved with lifting operations. He also reviewed OSHA’s 1926.1418 Authority to Stop Operation rule, allowing crane operators to stop a lift if they think it’s unsafe: “Whenever there is a concern as to safety, the operator must have the authority to stop and refuse to handle loads until a qualified person has determined that safety has been assured.” For more information, call 800/236-5335 or visit www.dawescrane.com.
Manitowoc Cranes to Build First Latin American Factory in Brazil Manitowoc Cranes has announced it will build its first Latin American factory in Brazil. The facility will be located in Passo Fundo, a city in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. Larry Weyers, executive vice president of Manitowoc Cranes’ Americas region, said the company intends to build different models of cranes at the new factory. “It’s time for us to start manufacturing here,” he said. “Our philosophy is always to be as close to customers as possible. That applies to everything we do — design, manufacturing, sales and service. Over the last few years, we have significantly enhanced our presence in Latin America, and this new factory demonstrates Manitowoc’s belief in the market potential.”
Construction of the 29,899 sq. yd. (25,000 sq m) factory is expected to begin 60 days after final approval by local government officials. Upon completion, it is expected to generate more than 300 jobs. The initial focus of the factory will be the production of mobile hydraulic cranes. Manitowoc anticipates the first cranes will come off the production line as quickly as 15 months after construction begins. Manitowoc Cranes will also maintain its sales and service office in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The company has been active in Brazil and the wider Latin American market for more than 20 years. It runs a regional network of offices and dealerships, including many staff and facilities committed to its Manitowoc Crane Care customer service operation. 11

Crews Place First Steel Girders for Sakonnet River Bridge in R.I. By Jay Adams
By May 2012, or perhaps sooner, the estimated $163.7 million project — being built by Cardi Corporation of Warwick, R. I., under the auspices of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation — will be fully erect. Ground first was broken for this greatly anticipated project in April 2009.
CEG CORRESPONDENT
It is the shape of things to come, one giant girder at a time. On Jan. 19, fighting a month of high winds, storms and snow, Cardi Corporation and its subcontractors got a clear day, and lifted the first three enormous steel girders by crane over the shores of Tiverton. Those girders, and about 109 more, will eventually become the bridge decking for vehicles for the new Sakonnet River Bridge. Each girder is 80-ft. (24.3 m) long and weighs 76 tons (69 t). What is called a “three-crane lift” joined them together to a total length of 240 ft. (73 m), going from support tower to support tower. Maxim CraneWorks’s, Providence, R.I., facility provided the cranes for this massive project. The company has 35 locations nationwide, covers the entire United States and has one facility in Guam. The cranes being used on this job, according to David White, crane specialist, Maxim CraneWorks, are “Two Manitowocs out of Wisconsin, both Triple 9, 275-ton cranes. The third crane is a Manitowoc 2250, a 300-ton machine.” The girders, bolted together, four across, will fill the 1,850 ft. (563 m) that the deck will span between the two communities of Tiverton and Portsmouth. As they were put into place workers, spectators and commuters — traveling nearby over the parallel rusting, corroded Sakonnet River Bridge that it will replace — got their first glimpse of the new span actually resembling a bridge structure.
Northeast Steel of Portsmouth Underneath the massive beams stood Frank Busher of Portsmouth, who was more than just a fascinated spectator. As he watched the tub girders (U-shaped support steel beams) being lifted and then secured by hundreds of heavy bolts, Busher was pleased. He is the principal, along with partner Bill Nearney, of Northeast Steel, the subcontracted company erecting the steel for Cardi Corporation. “We’ve been in business since 1972,” said Busher, a few days later from his nearby office. “We did the [$610 million] IWAY job [the new Providence, R.I. Highway system]. And, here, every third day, we do a big lift.” The Sakonnet River Bridge presented unusual conditions for the crane operators and crews hired by Northeast Steel to lift the beams, beyond weather conditions. “The thing that is different about this job is the heavy lifts. These are very big girders,” said Busher. “They are ten-and-a-half feet high, fourteen-feet wide. There is a slight curve to them, and that had to be taken into consideration. The center of gravity is off center and the girder wants to roll.” The bridge also is based on the side of huge hills on both sides, so his workers, “Had to plateau the hill, so the hill sat level,” said Busher. He commended the cranes. White added, “These are fabulous machines, perfect for this type of work. They will be used for the remainder of the project and transferred over to the Portsmouth side of the bridge for the next phase, starting in the spring.” Three in, 109 to Go Busher was pleased with the first “three-lift,” which took about an hour. “There are 112 pieces of girders to be bolted together,” he said. “They make up the four main girders. They will be 1,850-feet long from one end to the other. There will be nine spans.” Those 112 beams will forge the decking to support an estimated 40,000 daily commuters and truck drivers who haul their vehicles from southeastern Mass. (the New Bedford/Cape Cod area) over the section of Rte. 24 that goes over the Sakonnet River through Tiverton and Portsmouth into the East Bay and Aquidneck Island section of Rhode Island, all the way to Newport. It is a critical transportation link between the two states and the replacement bridge, adjacent to the old one to its immediate south, is necessary to meet current highway design standards for shoulder width

Crews have met with some unusual challenges on the job so far, including weather issues, the enormous size of the beams and the geography of the area. 14
and structural capacity. Busher and company saw 26 of the 112 girders come up by truck and the rest by barge up the Sakonnet River. The steel originated from a company called Hirschfeld Steel Industries in North Carolina. Carolina Steel Group LLC of Greensboro, N.C, is fabricating the steel. “This is a very unusual job for us,” said Busher. “We don’t do a bridge like this every day. But, we are a very localized business. People in New York do what we do, but they stay in New York. We stay in Rhode Island. We don’t go all over the country to do steel work.” And this job was literally above them in the same hometown. Other Northeast Projects Busher and Nearney’s company, Northeast Steel, has erected the steel for many well-known projects in the state, including the Route 99 Bridge over the Blackstone River in Lincoln, R.I., and most of the ramps at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center (Providence’s professional athletic arena) highway interchange on Route 95 (part of the new IWAY and the old highway). His company usually runs with just five people in the office, including Nearney’s son Brian, who is the next generation of steel workers. “We are typical steel erectors. We don’t have [a lot] of office personnel, or crane operators or iron workers. We hire out [for the work]. We sometimes have 60 workers, sometimes, 20,” said Busher. “We have a small number of people and do work for about 10 different contractors. But, as I said, we are a very localized business between Providence, Hartford, Connecticut and Boston.”

The 112 beams being set in place will forge the decking to support an estimated 40,000 daily commuters and truck drivers.
• Added bicycle and pedestrian path, separated from vehicular traffic by safety rails • Replacement bridge alternative minimizes the cumulative impacts to the environment The beams will go up through summer. “I would say we will be finished with this work by August of this year.” said Busher. So far, we are on schedule.” Despite the weather, the bridge may even finish before its anticipated contract completion date of May 2012. Cardi is working quickly. Incentive bonuses for Cardi Corporation — which range in the tens of thousands of dollars daily for shorter work — kept all crews extremely motivated through even the furious snows of January.

A Better Bridge Busher commented that the work is gratifying on many levels as this very deep recession has hurt his firm, along with so many others in the industry. “The building part of our business is way down,” said Busher. “We’ve got a few bridges and a few buildings [going up], but the economy has really affected us.” He is glad for the work and certain that this new bridge will be a tremendous modern marvel and improvement over the old one, which was constructed in 1956 and still must carry cars for another two years, despite massive rusting and corrosion. “The old bridge is in trouble,” said Busher. “It has serious problems due to rust,” exacerbated by extremely harsh New England weather conditions on the ocean. “Everything is bolted today. They don’t do rivets anymore.” The new bridge will have no seams, nothing to crack open by extremes. Haley & Aldrich completed an extensive subsurface exploration program, provided recommendations for design of shallow and deep foundations, designed excavation support systems for construction of multiple bridge structures, and estimated costs for two bridge super structure alternatives. The company also implemented a deep foundation test program. The entire design period was compressed into 21 months to meet a special Federal Garvey funding deadline. According to Haley & Aldrich, their client and commuter benefits include: • Improved public safety and seismic protection • Increased transportation capacity for existing and future traffic volumes

Faltering Chicago Harbor Lock Gates Get Badly Needed Rehabilitation On average, more than 40,000 vessels, 900,000 passengers, and 200,000 tons of cargo pass through the gates of Chicago’s Harbor Lock each year and the lock itself opens and closes 11,500 times yearly. But the 72-year-old Harbor Lock on Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Chicago River, owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has been deteriorating for the past 15 years. The lock gates have been leaking, and 10 gate breakdowns have occurred since 1991. Finally, new lock gates are being installed as part of a major overhaul to keep all that traffic moving. According to a 2006 article at chicagobusiness.com, the deterioration of the lock had the city worried about the potential for disrupting recreational and commercial boating, reducing the region’s water supply and threatening downtown Chicago with flooding.
Central Contractors Service recommended their 300-ton (272 t) capacity Manitowoc 4100W S-3 ringer crane with a 140-ft. (42.6 m) boom, a total picking radius of approximately 72 ft. (21.9 m), and a capacity-enhancing ringer attachment.
Iroquois Landing dockside facility in Chicago. The new fabricated gates, with a total weight of 180,000 lbs. (81,646 kg), were loaded up and the barge was towed by tugboat to Navy Pier, a trip of three hours. The lift and installation of the first gate took place on Dec. 2, 2010, and the second gate was set a week later, on Dec. 9. Both procedures went without a hitch. Central’s crane operator, Ken Derry, said that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was impressed with the crane and the operation. “USACE required that the maximum list of the barge during the gate picks be no more than two percent. The actual list during the pick was 0.00 percent. This number is amazing, considering the weight of the pick and its location on the water almost 90 feet away from the crane.” The barge and crane were to be repositioned to set the final two gates in mid-January.
Crane on a Barge The lock replacement project is being handled by general contactor James McHugh Construction, who hired Central Contractors Service of Chicago, a member of the ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. Family of Companies, to provide the lifting power to get the new gates in place. So how do you get a crane to a job site out on the water? Mount it on a barge. Central’s decades of experience in lift planning made it easier to select the proper equipment. They recommended their 300-ton (272 t) capacity Manitowoc 4100W S-3 Ringer crane with a 140-ft. (42.6 m) boom, a total picking radius of approximately 72 ft. (21.9 m), and a capacityenhancing ringer attachment. There were several larger Manitowoc cranes to choose from, but Central felt that the 4100W S-3 Ringer was the most economical and would allow for better distribution of the point loading. What does a ringer attachment do? John Martello, Central Contractors Service general manager, explains, “When a crane must be mounted on a barge, the crane’s load charts are decreased because of the lack of a reverse force; in other words, a barge is floating on water, not set on firm land. The relative instability of a floating platform has negating effect on the load weight able to be picked. Adding a ringer and pedestals to a crane distributes loading over a larger area and can increase the lifting capacity dramatically. The ringer attachment on the 4100W was utilized to better spread the weight of the crane on the surface of the barge. Instead of all the weight of the crane being carried on just two tracks, the weight is distributed to 11 points. This allows point loads to be reduced.”

New RTC-8090 Series II Features Link-Belt Pulse Operating System At ConExpo 2011, Link-Belt showed the RTC-8090 Series II, 90-ton (80 t) rough-terrain crane with the new Link-Belt Pulse total crane operating system. Part of Link-Belt Pulse is a new boom telescopic extend mode controller (EMC) for the pinning and latching operations. Like the RCL portion of Link-Belt Pulse, the EMC is a Link-Belt in-house creation, ensuring outstanding service and satisfaction, according to the manufacturer. It interacts with the 86100’s new pinning and latching system that will become the standard for Link-Belt cranes with this type of boom extend system — the same system found in Link-Belt’s large rough terrain and truck cranes as well as the new ATC-3275. For cranes so equipped, these changes standardize Link-Belt’s product line on one pinning and latching system for one crane operating system. The RTC-8090 Series II features a 38 to 140-ft. (11.6 to 42.7 m), fivesection boom. It has a maximum tip height of 238 ft. (72.6 m) with the additional two 16 ft. (4.9 m) lattice inserts installed between the boom head and the optional 35 to 58-ft. (10.7 to 17.7 m) bi-folding lattice. All attachment combinations have offset positions of 2, 15, 30, and 45 degrees. Unlike other cranes with latching booms, the 8090 has no deducts in the lift chart for telescoping a load. The design incorporates Link-Belt’s standard Teflon wear pucks so the boom requires no grease. The single cylinder design allows huge lift capacities while yielding a light working weight. The boom, combined with removable, modular counterweights, helps reduce the transport weight to under 90,000 lbs. (40,823.3 kg). Powering the RTC-8090 Series II is the 225-hp (167.8 kW) Caterpillar C6.6 engine. A direct-mount powershift transmission brings the power to the wheels. It has six forward and six reverse speeds. A switch in the operator’s cab controls the four steering modes: two-wheel front, two-wheel rear, four-wheel and crab. The RTC-8090 uses an automotive style, four-link suspension. The fully independent rear suspension reduces bouncing and improves handling both on and off the road. For an even better ride, Link-Belt’s patented Hydro-gas Ride suspension is
available as an option. This system’s charged accumulator serves as a shock absorber improving carrier stability. The winches deliver 16,880 lbs. (7,656.6 kg) of line pull and 341 fpm (104 m/min) of line speed. Spooled onto the winch drum is a durable 0.75-in. (19 mm) diameter four strand, low torque wire rope. Rotation resistant rope is available as an option. Other features of the RTC-8090 Series II include: • Six points of access to the carrier deck • Large, swing-out engine hood doors for easy service • The CALC (Confined Area Lifting Capacities) system • Lightweight and durable steel outrigger pontoons • Full deck steel fenders • Pre-paint • Supported 24/7 by Link-Belt Preferred including online manuals, literature, a ground bearing calculator, and 3D Lift Plan For more information, visit www.linkbelt.com.
