Crews Work Toward 2016 Deadline for Minnesota Vikings Stadium

The clear ETFE roof combined with the largest pivoting glass doors and the expansive glass throughout the building also will give stadium users an outdoor feel in a climate-controlled environment.

One of the features of the new stadium will be its connection via skyway to the Minneapolis downtown core.

Crews in Minneapolis are working diligently to meet a mid-2016 deadline, as construction continues on the $1 billion Minnesota Vikings stadium. The structure replaces the outdated Metrodome, and is being built using the Terex Demag CC6800, the third largest crane on record. “It truly fits a theme that you see throughout this project,” said Jeff Anderson, executive director of communications of Minnesota Vikings Football LLC. “You have the largest construction project in state history that includes the world’s largest pivoting glass doors and the nation’s largest transparent ETFE roof, so it seems appropriate that one of the world’s largest cranes is needed during the construction process.” The Terex Demag CC6800 is being used to raise the larger pieces of structural steel in the roof. The crane has a reach of 400 ft. (121.9 m) and can lift up to 1 million pounds. Officials say the biggest challenge and safety concern when operating a crane of this size is the weather. It came to Minnesota from Pennsylvania, taking more than 10 days, and was put together piece by piece by another crane. It arrived in June, and will be on site for a total of 15 months. “It was certainly impressive to watch from afar as 70 trucks pulled into the construction site, all carrying pieces of the crane,” said Anderson. “To see the crane operate has been fascinating. Through our 24/7 live streaming cameras, we are watching pieces of structural steel, some of which weigh more than half a million pounds, being lifted into place with what looks like ease. Those large pieces of the building — and the five tower cranes sitting on the site at all times — are what really bring this project to life for the organization and our fans.” Mortenson Construction is serving as the general contractor on the project, which

places great emphasis on sustainability. “From the start, the project design and construction team has been committed to building a stadium that is environmentally and energy efficient and achieves LEED certification,” Anderson said. “Those efforts really began with the demolition of the Metrodome. The LEED-qualifying goal in terms of recycled materials was 80 percent.” Anderson said that according to Mortenson, nearly 90 percent of the Metrodome’s materials were recycled, including more than 80 percent of the Metrodome’s steel and concrete, 80,000 tons (72,574 t) of concrete, 4,500 tons (4,082 t) of structural steel, 25 tons (22.6 t) of precious metals, 300 tons (272 t) of roof cables and 75 tons (68 t) of plastic that were recycled from the Metrodome seats that were not sold. “Ultimately we will achieve LEED-certification, but at what level is yet to be determined,” said Anderson. In early December, officials gathered to celebrate the one-year anniversary of new stadium groundbreaking. “We have hundreds of workers out there and over 200 Minnesota companies involved in this project, so it’s very exciting to see the amazing progress,” Mark Wilf , Vikings owner and president said to the crowd. “But as exciting as these past 12 months have been, between now and July 2016 when this building opens is going to be even better. We have the glass doors coming in 2015, the ETFE clear roof, and all of the great features that our fans have gotten to see in the images are going to come to life in the next year. People will want to bring their families here to not only enjoy a Vikings game, but to also make it a day-long experience. This is going to be an iconic building, the premier sports building in this country.” The Minnesota Legislature and the Minneapolis City Council approved funding in 2012 for the new multi-purpose Vikings stadium, which is scheduled to open in time for the 2016 NFL season. One of the biggest challenges on the project is the deadline. “We have a very short time to construct this stadium,” said Jennifer Hathaway, director of communications of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA), which will own and operate the stadium, and is responsible for the design and construction. “We are very good at scheduling and keeping things on track.” The longtime home of the Vikings, the 32-year-old Metrodome had to be torn down as part of the transition. During demolition, one part of

the ring beam fell out of place, leading to the use of controlled explosives. Contractors used more than 80 charges of dynamite in 24 columns of the upper concourse. Preparation was key in bringing down the stadium. “The first step was to turn the power off to the building,” said Hathaway. “The roof of the Metrodome was held up by air pressure. So, when the power was turned off, the roof came slowly down. After that, we needed to cut the roof off, blast the cables off, then proceed with the demolition.” Before demo work started, crews had to clear the building of anything that could be recycled, repurposed or sold. As many as 15,000 of the original seats were purchased by fans. A total of 800,000 cu. yds. (611,643 cu m) of dirt were removed on the project. Excavation took place from November 2013 through July 2014. Work on the drilled piers also has been completed, along with the foundation. By July 2015, the super structure and concrete work should be finished, with the enclosure and structural steel wrapped up by the end of 2015. Most of the main concourse has been poured. 110,000 cu. yds. (84,101 cu m) of concrete make up the entire stadium. The final piece of the prow was placed on the site in October. It weighs 400,000 lbs. (181, 436 kg) is 200 ft. (60.9 m) long and 20 ft. (6 m) deep. The largest piece of steel — the roof ridge truss — weighs 750,000 lbs. (340,194 kg) See VIKINGS page 16 15

Anderson said the economic impact of the new Vikings stadium cannot be underestimated.

10 percent of the construction workforce. The Minnesota Vikings will be required to play in the new stadium for the next 30 years. The stadium will be available 355 days a year for public use. The team is playing two seasons at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium as work on the new structure continues. Once completed, the stadium will include nearly twice the square footage as the old facility, because of wider concourses and additional restrooms, as well as signature gathering spaces. The multipurpose stadium also could accommodate a major league soccer franchise, able to convert into a 20,000-seat soccer stadium by masking the extra seats with large panels and advertising boards. The team has even displayed images of the new stadium with a large MLS soccer logo superimposed on it, and has broadcast a video showing football players making touchdowns and soccer athletes scoring goals in the structure. As for the economic boost to the area, Anderson said the impact of the new Vikings stadium cannot be underestimated. “First, more than half a billion dollars in private and team contributions are going toward this publicly-owned and operated project,” said Anderson. “That is significant in itself. Secondly, this project will require nearly 4.3 million work hours to complete and approximately 7,500 workers will spend time on the site and receive an estimated $300 million in wages. “Additionally, more than 200 Minnesota companies have already contributed to the project, and ultimately nearly 80 percent of the dollars spent on construction will go back to Minnesota companies. But the economic impact moves beyond the construction itself and continues when the stadium opens in 2016. Adjacent to the stadium is another $500 million-plus mixed-use development that was announced just one day after the new stadium design was unveiled.” In the past eight months alone, the new stadium has secured two of the most high-profile sporting events in the world — Super Bowl LII (2018) and the 2019 NCAA Final Four — which, combined, will bring more than 150,000 people and significant economic activity to the market. “With the unique stadium design and the tremendous fan amenities throughout the building, stadium operator SMG fully expects to compete for numerous large events, all of which will have a positive economic impact for Minnesota,” said Anderson. “In the first nine months since our New Stadium Preview Center opened, we have had more than 8,000 tours, which just goes to show that fans are incredibly excited to get a feel for their future game experience. And on the construction site, each month brings more exciting milestones. Now being nearly one-third complete, the vision we all had is becoming reality.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

and was placed in mid-November. Other work involves 11,000 tons (9,979 t) of long-span steel, the stadium enclosure, ETFE at 10.6 by 100 ft. (3.2 by 30.5 m) long, and interiors and finishes. Glass installation will begin in early 2015, followed by zinc metal panel installation, which will mark the beginning of the permanent closure in April. An October 2015 topping out party is planned, followed by site work and landscaping in 2016. One of the features of the new stadium will be its connection via skyway to the Minneapolis downtown core. Vikings fans will be able to park at the ramps on the west side of Minneapolis near Target Field without stepping outdoors when heading to the new stadium. The new stadium will seat 65,000 people and could expand to accommodate 72,000 fans during major sporting events. It will include 150 suites, 7,000 club seats, and space for gift shops, restaurants, an NFL team museum and Hall of Fame. The clear ETFE roof combined with the largest pivoting glass doors and the expansive glass throughout the building also will give stadium users an outdoor feel in a climate-controlled environment. “Throughout the design discussions, the stadium team looked at all possibilities, including a retractable roof, but ultimately this was the best solution for our climate and our market,” said Anderson. “We are confident this stadium will be unlike any other facility in the country. When people see it on TV and in pictures, they will know this is Minnesota’s stadium.” Several characteristics of the stadium’s new roof were specifically designed for Minnesota’s harsh climate. The slope of the stadium will give the building the ability to shed snow, while the translucent ETFE material will allow more sunlight and radiant heat through the roof. Diverters will redirect the snow and ice it into gutters and collection basins located on the edges of the roof, preventing the precipitation from falling to the ground. Fans also will be as close to the field as any stadium in the league, with seats 41 ft. (12.4 m) from the sideline. Seven levels in the stadium, including two general admission concourses with 360-degree circulation and different views into the bowl, will be connected via escalators, elevators, stairs and a continuous ramp. Two of the largest HD video boards in the NFL will be located in both the east and west end zones. The stadium also will include a Vikings Hall of Legends and a team store. To mark the one-year of construction, the team released a time-lapse video showing the progress to date, along with a photo gallery and highlights from the first year of construction. The MSFA also recently released its most recent “State-of-the-Stadium” update. The document shows that as of Oct. 31, the project was 29 percent complete, with 60 percent of all concrete poured, including the entire two lower levels of the stadium. Currently, minorities and women make up 40 percent and 16

H&E Equipment Unveils Manitowoc Crane Remanufacturing Complex Manitowoc EnCORE partner, H&E Equipment Services, has opened a new crane remanufacturing complex to service Manitowoc cranes in Belle Chasse, La. The new center marks a significant upgrade to the company’s abilities to rebuild, repair and remanufacture Manitowoc Cranes, tripling its capacity. The new complex has two primary facilities: one devoted to crane remanufacturing (Crane Remanufacturing Center) and another devoted to heavy equipment structural repair (Structural Repair Center). It is strategically located on the Intercoastal Waterway near the Mississippi River with access to the Gulf of Mexico, which gives the complex shipping capabilities. Frank Arthur, branch manager of H&E, said the company had outgrown its older remanufacturing center, so it was time to upgrade with new buildings and equipment. The move adds more capabilities to care for crane and heavy equipment customers. “We are excited about the improvements to our facilities and capabilities,” Arthur said. “We used to have a small facility where 75 percent of our work was performed outside, but now we can do 85 percent of our work inside. This will allow us to achieve greater quality and productivity by working in a controlled environment.” The Crane Remanufacturing Center measures 40,000 sq. ft. (3,716 sq m), with six large service bays, each equipped with an 11-ton (10 t) capacity overhead crane. The entire service floor can be accessed by an 83-ton (75 t) mobile industrial gantry crane. The large shop accommodates up to six crane remanufacturing projects at one time, along with numerous component rebuilds. The Structural Repair Center is 15,000 sq. ft. (1,393.5 sq m) with two 11-ton (10 t) capacity overhead cranes. The structure is fully-equipped with five structural alignment welding tables, fixtures and special tooling for crane boom and component repair. The services H&E offers at the new complex include crane remanu-

facturing and repair, structural repair, component rebuilds, marine project mobilization, derrick service and equipment cleaning, blasting and painting. The company employs a team of Manitowoc-certified staff, including technicians, blasters, painters and welders. “H&E became a Manitowoc dealer 40 years ago,” Arthur said. “We have grown and changed, but we maintain that same customer focus even today. Manitowoc is a significant reason for our success — we have a great partnership.” Since opening in July 2014, H&E’s customers have steadily been visiting the plant. Arthur said customers are impressed and consider the new complex a practical and innovative resource that will contribute to their future success. Features of the Crane Remanufacturing Center: • Manitowoc EnCORE certified • Six large service bays, each equipped with 11-ton (10 t) capacity overhead cranes • A 83-ton (75 t) capacity industrial gantry crane • It accommodates up to six crane remanufacturing projects at one time Features of the Structural Repair Center: • Manitowoc EnCORE certified • Two 11-ton capacity overhead cranes • Five structural alignment welding and fabrication tables • Special tooling and jigs for boom and component repair • Environmentally safe blasting and painting • Environmentally safe, high-pressure, hot water cleaning • Yard cranes, mobile lifting equipment and specialty rigging gear (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Family-Run Company in Ponca City Meets Customers’ Storage Needs About eight years ago, Jimmy and Allen Hawkins decided to start their own business. The brothers grew up often working alongside their father, who had been in the tank-erection industry for several years. They worked for other companies as well before they determined the time was right to go out on their own. “With the experience we’d gained, it was a move that made sense to us,” said Jimmy. “We got off to a good start, and it just kept expanding.” The brothers, along with Allen’s son Cody, started Heartland Tank LLC out of Allen’s home and a 30 by 50 ft. shop where Cody set up machinery to cut steel. Within months they had enough materials to build their first tank, and not long after, growth forced them to move to a larger location just outside of Ponca City, Okla. The three are owners and general managers with each claiming their own role. Allen handles estimating and pricing, Cody runs fabrication and Jimmy oversees field operations. “Our business is building flat-bottom, cone-roof tanks, and we provide full service from taking a customer’s information and building a proposal to final erection of the tank,” said Allen. “Our customers are generally coops and others who need storage capacity for liquid fertilizer. Most of our tanks are cookie-cutter sizes, starting from 500,000 gallons to 3 million gallons, but we offer custom sizes as well. It all depends on what a customer needs.” Heartland Tank Services, an affiliated company, handles sales for Heartland Tank. The company gathers customer information that’s turned over to Heartland Tank LLC. Allen provides a price and proposal. Once it’s accepted, Heartland Tank LLC’s drafting department puts together a design that is then sent to fabrication.

Fabricating Puzzle Pieces Fabrication is done in Heartland Tank’s shop. Cody’s brother Justin is the company’s fabrication supervisor. “About 95 percent of fabrication is done in-house, using two burn tables and our welders,” said Cody. “In essence, our shop is building puzzle pieces that fit together once they get out in the field. Everything is steel, and we believe that, along with using larger sheets of steel than most and building to precise tolerances with superior welds, sets us apart. It allows us to put together high-quality tanks.” Once fabrication is complete, Heartland Tank ships the pieces to customers’ locations with its own trucks and occasionally works with other logistics companies. After the pieces are delivered, field crews put the puzzle together. The company typically has nine or 10 jobs going at any one time and mainly serves the Midwest, or “where the corn grows, and fertilizer is required,” according to Jimmy. The Hawkins consider their territory to be from North Dakota to Texas, north to south, and from Colorado to Indiana, east to west. Heartland Tank LLC now employs 70-plus people, more than half of which are in the field and travel extensively to erect tanks. Cody noted that a significant portion of the company’s staff includes family members. “This is a true family business, and that’s something we take great pride in,” he said “Even those who aren’t related are considered part of our family, and we treat them as such. We believe that if you build and develop employees who work hard, that equates to success. Obviously, as spread-out as our work is, I can’t be on job sites, so I place a lot of trust in our foremen and laborers, and they don’t let us down.”

Operator Jared Dowler moves a steel plate with Heartland Tank’s Grove RT700E 60-ton (54.4 t) rough-terrain crane at the company’s headquarters and fabrication shop in Ponca City, Okla., where it fabricates the pieces that are assembled into tanks in the field.

(L-R): Heartland Tank Owners and General Managers are Cody, Allen and Jimmy Hawkins. The Ponca City, Okla., company fabricates and erects flat-bottom, cone-lid liquid fertilizer tanks.

“The RT540Es are definitely the right fit for tank erection. They easily handle the fabricated pieces, as well as the varying ground conditions. We move them from one site to another, and generally we don’t need a permit to haul them, which is an added bonus. The RT700E gives us everything we need in the Jared Dowler yard to handle large steel plates.” Heartland Tank performs maintenance on the equipment, but calls on Kirby-Smith Machinery Inc. as needed for help and parts. “Our Territory Manager Todd York and Kirby-Smith in general have been great to work with,” said Allen. “We worked with them when we were at other companies, so we knew they would take care of us. Whenever we need something, they help us quickly. We have a good relationship with them, and that’s another reason we’ve continued to buy Grove cranes.”

A Smooth Process Typically, tanks range in size from 30 ft. (9.1 m) in diameter by 32 ft. (9.7 m) tall to 127 ft. (38.7) in diameter by 32 feet tall. Before erection, Heartland Tank sets the grade and lays down the bottom, then begins building the structure and setting the roof. Once assembled, the company finishes a tank with Justin Hawkins, fabrication nozzles and other items to make supervisor it functional. “All of the tanks require secondary containment, so we build some double-wall tanks to suit that need,” said Jimmy. “Once those are complete, they’re ready to be used. Others require someone to come in behind us and install a bladder, a service, which Heartland Tank Services offers. What goes up depends on what the customer wants.” “The entire process, from the time we get an order to final erection, usually takes a few months,” said Allen. “First, it gets scheduled in production, then we acquire the steel, and finally, fabrication begins. That typically takes one to three weeks. Erection takes another three to six weeks. The tank size determines how long we need for fabrication and erection. It requires a lot of coordination and logistics to make it all work, but our experience and expertise make it a fairly smooth process.”

More Controlled Growth Heartland Tank LLC has developed good relationships with its customers, which has led to a lot of repeat work. The owners count that as a big feather in their caps because it shows they built the company the right way. It has expanded considerably during the past eight years, and they are happy with Heartland’s current size. “We built Heartland Tank on performance, so we’re proud of where we stand,” said Allen. “One thing we always keep in mind is our ability to take care of the customer, and we can do that very well. That’s something we want to continue, so we’ve reassessed lately. Our plan is controlled growth from here, so we are able to continue to offer our same level of customer service.” “One area where we could grow is in fabrication,” said Cody. “We’ve started doing outside work for other tank companies, and there are other possibilities out there. As long as it doesn’t get in the way of us taking care of our customers, we’ll look at ways to expand.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Grove Cranes Were the First Choice For tank erection, Heartland Tank uses three 40-ton (36. 2 t) Grove RT540E rough-terrain cranes, which have as much as 102 ft. (31 m) of boom length, a maximum tip height of 154 ft. (46.9 m) and a total grossvehicle weight of about 64,000 lbs. (29,029 kg). The company uses a 60ton RT700E in its yard to unload, load and move steel plating for fabrication and transport material to job sites. “I had experience running about every brand of crane before we started this business, and Grove was always my preference,” said Jimmy. “That made it an easy choice when we started looking for our own. Within the first year, we bought a 30-ton crane that we’ve since traded in. I believe what sets Grove apart is the workmanship that goes into its cranes. They’re the best built on the market, they perform every day in all types of conditions and they are easy to operate. 21

Flach Uses Link-Belt ATC-3210 as Taxi Crane in Port Rensselaer, N.Y.

Hiltz Propane of Lancaster, Pa., contracted Flach Crane and its new ATC-3210 to place six tanks in a single day at the Hudson River port.

Flach Crane recently lifted and placed 70-ft. (21.3 m) long propane tanks weighing 85,000 lbs. (38,555.3 kg) each for a storage facility in Port Rensselaer, N.Y. Hiltz Propane of Lancaster, Pa., contracted Flach Crane and its new ATC-3210 to place six tanks in a single day at the Hudson River port. The tanks were unloaded from a drop off point on the east side of the terminal and swung 90 degrees where they were placed on reinforced concrete slabs 45 ft. (13.7 m) apart. The crane of choice was Link-Belt’s new ATC-3210, a 210-ton (190.5 t) all-terrain crane, which Flach hopes will get them back into the 200ton (181.4 t) taxi crane market due to customer demand. “The only comparable machine in this class that we had was a 200ton crawler [248 H5], and it’s used for long-term rentals, rather than anything taxi related,” said Flach President John Flach. Flach purchased the crane from Wood’s CRW of Williston, Vt., and is impressed with the ATC-3210’s capabilities. “The ATC-3210 is lightweight for its capacity, as well as meeting all our requirements that we need for plant maintenance, and the taxi-crane type work we’re involved in. It also has the reach that we need for the

technology companies that are coming into this area,” said Flach. Flach operator Mike Smith said, “We’ve used this crane for many tank placements already, the heaviest being 102,000 pounds.” Once the tanks are placed, they are rotated so they sit perfectly upright for pressurized valve connections, and using rigging ropes, the tanks are rotated into place. Flach Crane is pleased with the performance of the machine. “Link-Belt is constantly upgrading and trying to make their machines better. There are no complaints from us on Link-Belt Cranes. And as far as the technology and ease of working on them, Link-Belt is really doing a good job,” said Flach. Wood’s CRW has additional locations in Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania.

New Products

Terex Cranes Presents Explorer 5500 DEF tanks can be conveniently reached from the ground.

With the new Explorer 5500 crane, Terex Cranes is expanding its Explorer series by adding a new model in the 143 ton (130 t) capacity class. Just like its “big brothers,” the Explorer 5600 and 5800 cranes, the Explorer 5500 crane convinces with its impressive performance data. The new crane features a 197 ft. (60 m) long main boom; three extensions of 36, 69 and 108 ft. (11, 21, and 33 m) in length are available, all of which can be offset. The maximum system length is 284 ft. (86.5 m). The maximum load moment is 435 tons (395 t), with the maximum lifting capacity when telescoping 27 tons (24.5 t). Outrigger extension positions of 8.3, 15.4 and 23 ft. (2.54, 4.7, and 7.0 m) can be selected. With a carrier length of 39.7 ft. (12.1 m), a total length of 47 ft. (14.3 m), and a width of 9 ft. (2.75 m), this 5-axle crane is more compact than any other in its capacity class, which enables it to be used inside cities as well as on narrow construction sites. In addition, steerable axles provide good maneuverability in tight quarters. For comfort and safety in driving operation the new Explorer 5500 crane has a dynamic launch control function that prevents the crane from rolling backwards when starting up and maneuvering on uphill grades. Due to various configuration options, the new Explorer 5500 crane can be adapted to fulfill the road service approval regulations of key markets for this capacity class. This is possible with variable axle loads and axle pair intervals, the dismountable main boom, transport dolly preparation, a maximum front overhang of 5 ft. (1.52 m), and other features.

Terex Single-Motor Concept The new Explorer 5500 crane also features the Terex single-motor concept already seen on the Explorer 5600 and Explorer 5800. This lowers the operating costs even further, since only one motor requires maintenance. Terex has outfitted this system to give it special technical sophistication. The control system automatically recognizes each demand; for instance, it switches from high power in driving operation to energy-saving mode during crane operation. Moreover, the system also has an energy-saving start/stop function. The motor is a powerful and, at the same time, economical 368 kW unit that meets emission standards Euromot 4 and Tier IV (final). On request, a 331 kW motor for Euromot 3a / Tier III also is available in applicable markets. The Explorer 5500 all terrain crane is equipped with ergonomically designed and spacious cabs for comfortable operation: The carrier cab lacks a B-column to provide optimum visibility, and the superstructure cab offers ample leg room. It also is tiltable up to 16 degrees to ensure comfortable work for extended periods. Both cabs are equipped with ergonomic seats and have ventilation nozzles that can be adjusted individually. For operational safety, monitoring displays on a touch screen with intuitive controls provide the driver with important data on more than ten operational parameters of the carrier, such as tire pressure, brake system status, and the suspension system. In addition, there is constant monitoring for maintaining the axle loads. In the superstructure, the time-tested, likewise intuitively operated Terex IC-1 control system is used, in which all load charts, the respective working range limits, and more are saved to offer rapid, simple, and safe configuration.

Focus on Economic Viability Terex Cranes placed a strong emphasis on economic viability during development. That is why all components for the Terex Explorer 5500 can be transported using a single standard support vehicle. This also results in low operating costs — as does, the automatic counterweight setup system, which allows the crane to be readied for operation quickly. The electronically controlled brake system makes for lower wear and thus reduced operating costs while at the same time increasing brake power. Simple — and therefore equally cost-effective — maintenance is provided by easily accessible service points on the crane. For instance, the diesel and

NCCCO Marks 20 Years of Providing Crane Operator Certification Services The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) announced the 20th anniversary of its professionally developed and nationally accredited personnel certification programs. “Over the past two decades, CCO certification has made an indelible contribution to crane safety by establishing a national benchmark of the knowledge and skills needed to operate cranes,” said Thom Sicklesteel, NCCCO president. “CCO certification, without question, is one of the most powerful tools available to an employer in ensuring only qualified personnel work with and around cranes.” NCCCO was established in January 1995 as an independent, nonprofit personnel certification organization following almost a decade of commitment by a group of industry volunteers dedicated to improving the safety of lifting operations. “They believed a major part of the solution to reducing the high rate of crane accidents lay in establishing effective performance standards for crane operators and those who work with them,” said Graham Brent, NCCCO chief executive officer. “The result of this vision, determination and sheer hard work was a fair, valid and reliable assessment of crane operator knowledge and skills.” NCCCO is preparing a slate of activities and announcements as part of a special 20th Anniversary Recognition Program developed to mark the occasion. “We want to be sure that we recognize this historic milestone appropriately,” Brent said. “There’s a tremendous amount that administering almost one million examinations can tell us, and we’re excited about sharing that information with the industry, as well as outlining the role we believe professional certification can play in addressing such issues as the nation’s skills shortage.” There would, he added, also be a powerful retrospective element, charting the achievements of NCCCO to date. Studies have demonstrated an 80 percent decline in crane-related fatalities in areas where professionally developed certification has been adopted. “Insurance companies, project owners and risk managers recognize the key role that CCO certification plays in workplace risk mitigation and the impact it has on the safety of crane operations overall,” he said. “CCO certification has been successful for one major reason — it works.”

“It’s been a remarkable journey,” said Kerry Hulse, NCCCO vice president, “one that has far exceeded the expectations of those who contributed their time and expertise to this effort for years even prior to the formation of NCCCO two decades ago.” Hulse, who is vice president, Deep South Crane & Rigging, Houston, Texas, was chairman of the original certification task force established by the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) that ultimately led to the formation of NCCCO. He served as chairman of the commission from its inception until his election to the board in 2012. “That initial group of industry volunteers had one simple goal — to make this industry a safer place in which to work. And all the evidence is that they have achieved that.” And the pace of adoption continues to grow, he added, noting the achievement of another milestone just last year when the 100,000th person to be certified through NCCCO programs was issued his CCO certification card.
