Linden Comansa Cranes Called on for Cambambe Dam Renovation In December 2015, the improvements on the Cambambe hydroelectric power station, in the Kwanza River, nearly 111.8 mi. (180 km) southeast of Luanda, the capital of Angola, will be concluded. Work has been ongoing since 2009. The dam currently supplies power to the cities of Luanda, Ndalatando, Cacuaco, Malanje, Gabela, Porto Amboim and Sumbe, benefiting a population of approximately 8 million people. Built in 1962, the station is being renovated and expanded to increase its energy production by 80 percent. From the current 180 mW per year, this infrastructure will then produce 960 mW, becoming the largest power production plant of the Kwanza basin. In 2014, Cambambe was certified with ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 seals, being the first hydroelectric project in Africa to obtain such recognition. Part of the project, which is being conducted by the Brazilian construction company Norberto Odebrecht, is raising the height of the dam by 65.6 ft. (20 m). This will increase the capacity of the reservoir, and allow the four existing generators to produce 65 megawatts each instead of the present 45. In order to place more than 85,016 cu. yd. (65,000 cu m) of concrete

that will be needed to raise the dam, Odebrecht counts on the help of three Linden Comansa tower cranes: two 21LC750 with maximum load capacity of 52 tons (48 t) acquired in 2012 and a 21LC400 with maximum capacity of 19.8 tons (18 t) leased by IBERGRU, the exclusive distributor of Linden Comansa in Angola. The first 21LC750 was located on the left bank of the Kwanza River, erected with fixing angles on a special concrete foundation, which given its short width, was anchored to a rock on the river bank. It was mounted with a freestanding height of 258 ft. (78.8 m), the maximum possible height with 8.2 ft. (2.5 m) wide mast sections (fourteen D36 sections) and a jib length of 262.5 ft. (80 m). On the right bank, a second 21LC750 was erected with a freestanding height of 286 ft. (87.2 m), achieved with 12 sections D36 — as her “sister” in the left margin — increased by three 16.4 ft. (5 m) wide D56 sections at its bottom. Another concrete foundation was anchored on the riverside to allow this crane’s assembly on fixing angles. After a year and a half, the first 21LC750 (left bank) was relocated within the job site and substituted by a 21LC400 from IBERGRU’s

In December 2015, the improvements on the Cambambe hydroelectric power station, in the Kwanza River, nearly 111.8 mi. (180 km) southeast of Luanda, the capital of Angola, will be concluded.

The relocated 21LC750 is currently working on the construction of the power house (or power generation center) where it was assigned to moving precast segments up to 20.9 tons (19 t) for the new water tunnels, as well as lifting and placing all the electromechanical gear that will allow the production of energy, such as turbines and generator sets.

rental fleet, which was erected with a freestanding height of 262.4 ft. (80 m) and a jib length of 229.6 ft. (70 m). This crane was assembled on the same fixing angles of the previous 21LC750, so it was necessary to have two transition sections in order to allow the progression from the 13.1 ft. (4 m) wide fixing angles to the 8.2 ft. (2.5 m) wide D33 mast section. The relocated 21LC750 is currently working on the construction of the power house (or power generation center) where it was assigned to moving precast segments up to 20.9 tons (19 t) for the new water tunnels, as well as lifting and placing all the electromechanical gear that will allow the production of energy, such as turbines and generator sets. The assembly of the first 21LC750 was performed by Linden Comansaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical assistance service team, while the remaining assemblies and technical service was entrusted to IBERGRU. IBERGRU is the official distributor of Linden Comansa in Portugal since 2002. In 2008, the company opened offices in Angola, where it offers its tower crane rental services as well as technical planning and coordination for lifting projects.

Terex Superlift 3800 Crawler Delivers on Time-Sensitive Bridge Installation Working in an extremely confined area, crews attached the first metal bridge segment weighing 88 tons (88 t) to the crane’s cables.

Improve quality of life. Address regional inequalities. Build a sustainable city of the future. Those are the lofty goals established by the State and Ile-de-France — a region of 12 million inhabitants — with the ambitious Grand Paris development project. Modernizing the existing transportation network and constructing a new automatic metro — the Grand Paris Express, lie at the heart of this grand vision. Project work will take place not only in Paris but the outlying metropolitan areas as well, which includes the city of Versailles. A city of 90,000, many of Versailles’ citizens work in Paris. Tens of thousands of people board the train daily from one of five stations to commute to and from Paris. The Versailles Chantiers train station alone serves nearly 70,000 passengers each day. To accommodate the growing number of passengers using this critical train station hub, the National Society of French Railways (SNCF) — France’s national state-owned railway company — added a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks for easier access to the station from the parking lot as part of The Grand Paris program. DUFOUR selected lifting equipment that offered easy transport, fast set-up once on site and the ability to quickly and smoothly lift and place the two metal bridge components.

Fast and Precise Superlift 3800 Crawler Crane Erecting a footbridge at the Versailles Chantiers may sound simple, 16

In early February, DUFOUR’s crews loaded the Superlift 3800 crane components from a project site in Germany to make the approximately 250 mi. (402 km) trip to the Versailles Chantiers station.

but there were several challenges associated with the project. “The station is located in the city center of Versailles, and the project site was very congested,” said Nicolas Devianne, Chargé d’Affaires for DUFOUR Transport Handling, the lifting contractor. “The project was highly publicized and politicized, so there were a lot of curious people around the job site. Also, we lifted the bridge segments only a few weeks after the Paris terrorist attacks of January, so everything was supervised by the police.” Additionally, the clock was ticking for DUFOUR on this project. Installing the metal footbridge over the tracks meant that the Versailles train station had to be temporarily closed. “For one weekend, the station was completely closed and, during lifting operations, train traffic was also fully stopped from Paris to the south of France, which rarely occurs,” said Devianne. During that weekend, 350 buses had to be arranged to accommodate commuters typically riding the trains originating from the Versailles Chantiers station. So DUFOUR selected lifting equipment that offered easy transport, fast set-up once on site and the ability to quickly and smoothly lift and place the two metal bridge components weighing respectively 88 and

122 tons (80 and 111 t). For Devianne, the Terex Superlift 3800 lattice boom crawler crane was the obvious choice. “It is a compact, solid crane that is easy to transport,” he said. “Its modular design allows it to be quickly set up, and it’s easy to use.” Superlift 3800 Arrives in Versailles In early February, DUFOUR’s crews loaded the Superlift 3800 crane components from a project site in Germany to make the approximately 250 mi. (402 km) trip to the Versailles Chantiers station. Thirty-seven trucks were used to transport 303 ton (275 t) of counterweight, 295 ft. (90 m) of boom segments, the Superlift structure and carrier components. “The Superlift 3800 offers fast and efficient mobilization in any market around the world with unique features such as nesting boom segments and no component being wider than 9.8 ft. (3 m) for transport,” said Terex cranes field service technician, David Hemmert. “The Superlift 3800 crane advantages do not stop with transport. Its quickconnection system allows the superstructure to be installed or removed in less than 15 minutes, improving assembly speed, and the Terex award-winning fall protection system provides safety during boom 17

ment into position, working at a 167-ft. (51 m) radius. “Some of our company leaders were on the job site during the lifts and they were all impressed with the crane and how smooth and precise it lifted the two metal footbridge segments,” said Devianne.

assembly.” With the aid of a 275-ton (250 t) capacity class Terex AC 250 all-terrain crane, six DUFOUR crew members, including two crane operators, began assembling the crane and Superlift structure once the components arrived at the train station. Terex cranes’ Hemmert also aided with crane erection and, three days later, the Superlift 3800 was ready to assist with bridge construction. “Since this was a time-sensitive project, we requested a Terex field service technician to help with assembly and Terex immediately accepted,” said Devianne. “Mr. Hemmert assisted greatly with crane set up and the entire project.” The Superlift tray and crawler carrier were loaded with 250 tons (227 t) and 55 tons (50 t) of counterweight respectively to handle bridge segment weight when working at radii in excess of 230 ft. (70 m). To lift the metal structures in place, the Superlift 3800 crane required 295 ft. (90 m) of main boom. Working in an extremely confined area, crews attached the first metal bridge segment weighing 88 tons to the crane’s cables. At a radius of 249 ft. (76 m), the Superlift 3800 crane hoisted the segment into place for installation. “Even at this extended radius, the Superlift 3800 crane offers a lift capacity of 94 tons (85 t) in this configuration, which was more than sufficient for the pick,” said Hemmert. The Superlift 3800 crane then hoisted the heavier, 122-ton metal seg-

Chantiers Train Station Reopens Within the short weekend time frame allotted to DUFOUR for footbridge installation, crew members completed both bridge picks, so the Versailles Chantiers train station could reopen on schedule. The station is back to operating at normal capacity and commuters have a safer and more direct route to get to the train station from the parking lot. All are happy with the new footbridge at the train station and the speed at which it was erected. Everyone, that is, except for those who hold strongly to traditional Versailles history. “Versailles is famous for its castle where several French kings once lived, including Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI,” explains François de Mazières, deputy and mayor of the city of Versailles. “In City tradition, it is illegal for anything, any construction, any item to stand higher than the castle’s king room. However, this time there was no alternative solution, so it was an extremely exceptional event for the city of Versailles to build a bridge like this.” For more information visit https://www.terex.com/.

MLC300 Pleases Hoffman’s Crowd at Open House

Potain Tower Crane Saves Space, Money in Suburban Philly Behind Suburban Square, off route 30, just outside Philadelphia, is a new addition to the skyline. The Potain Igo T85A tower crane was rented from Stephenson Equipment. GC Penntex Construction Co. of Blue Bell, Pa., rented the tower crane from Stephenson to construct the Sibley Avenue Apartments, a complex of 46 luxury units. Darin D’Ascanio, Stephenson’s area representative, noted that the tower crane was the only option with the space restrictions at the job site and by using the Potain tower crane, GC Penntex saved about a month in construction time. D’Ascanio was on site during the set-up of the Potain, Igo series, which is a self-erecting model. He also took pictures during the operation and during several lifts. The crane is expected to be off the job site by mid-October. For more information, call 800/325-6455 or visit stephensonequipment.com.

Martz discussed the need for a concerted industry-wide voice communicating to Washington the urgent need for passage of the highway bill and encouraged participation in AEM’s “I Make America” campaign. Martz also discussed Link-Belt’s commitment to improving efficiency and productivity for both the company’s manufacturing process and lineup of cranes. Martz cited the company’s investment in a new facility dedicated to quality testing and training, as evidence of that commitment. A short video outlining Link-Belt’s history, development and accom-

plishments was followed by a tour of the company’s manufacturing facility. Throughout the tour, attendees were provided with insights into all aspects of the design and build process. A common theme echoing Mr. Martz’s comments during the tour was a team-wide approach toward developing greater efficiency and productivity throughout the manufacturing process. While monitoring, tracking and testing each stage of the operation, employees are encouraged to submit their suggestions to improve both the process and the product. After the plant tour, attendees were led outside to a staging area for a live presentation of LinkBelt’s product line, including several new models to the company’s lineup. Company representatives were stationed at each of the cranes on display to give details on each of the models.

Wisconsin Project Gets Lift Featuring Manitowoc MLC300 Manitowoc’s MLC300 crawler crane, which features the variable position counterweight (VPC), made a big debut at ConExpo 2014. One year later, a new MLC300 has performed on its first job site, and the owner couldn’t be more pleased with its performance. The MLC300 belongs to Milwaukee, Wis., based Dawes Rigging & Crane rental, a member of the ALL Family of Companies. It’s one of the 10 MLC300s ALL purchased for its fleet. Dawes rented the crane to Lunda Construction, which is based in Black River Falls, Wis. Lunda is using the new crane for a highway project at the Zoo Interchange, just west of Milwaukee. The project is a $1.7 billion reconstruction of what has become one of the state’s busiest highway travel corridors. Joe Ruddell, sales manager of the rental division of the Dawes Milwaukee location, said ALL had considered suggesting another large crawler crane for the job, but the MLC300 offered unique advantages that no other crane could replicate. “As with any job for the Department of Transportation, there are going to be restrictions, specific time frames in which we can work and guidelines that have to be followed. One big challenge is the limited space we have to situate the crane in, along with having to move the crane from one location to another in a limited amount of time over uneven ground conditions,” Ruddell said. “The MLC300 offers a smaller footprint than other crawler cranes and its VPC counterweight system is perfect for this job. The reduced footprint and added stability really matter when the crane is sitting on limited real estate between eastbound and westbound lanes of the freeway with traffic whizzing by.” Lunda contracted with Dawes to furnish the crane as a bare rental for the Zoo Interchange project. On the site, Lunda is using the MLC300 to lift and set large tub girders that will support a ramp from Highway 45/I894 northbound to I-94 westbound. The heaviest tub girders weigh approximately 68.5 tons (62.1 t). Lifts are reaching up to 60 ft. (18.2 m). The crane is setup with 157 ft. (47.8 m) of main boom and 190 tons (172 t) of counterweight. The MLC300’s VPC, which Dawes called “revolutionary,” dramatically cut the costs of preparing the job site for lifts, the company said. The counterweight system automatically positions the crane’s counterweight to maintain a center of gravity closer to the center of rotation, which reduces ground-bearing pressure, and therefore, ground prep. It also means the crane needs less counterweight to complete a lift, again lowering ground-bearing pressure. Additionally, fewer loads of counterweight need to be delivered to the job site, saving additional costs. “The MLC300 has afforded us greater lifting capacity and more stability, and it needs less ground prep time and less matting,” Ruddell said. “With the MLC300 and its VPC system on an average job, we can reduce the number of required mats by 50 percent. That can mean thousands of dollars in savings per month.” During Manitowoc’s load testing over the last year, the MLC300 was determined to have the strongest load chart in its class, at 330 tons (299

t). It also features a 315 ft. (96 m) boom, again one of the best specifications in its class. A VPC-MAX configuration also is available for the crane, which can boost its capacity to 4119 t-m. “A ‘best-in-class’ load chart allows for more and heavier lifts in the same time frame,” said Ruddell. “The MLC300 will help us deliver some significant time and cost savings, and help boost productivity for our customers.” The Zoo Interchange project began in 2013 and will continue through 2018. Dawes also is providing additional lift support on site with other cranes and aerial lifts from its fleet. When the job wraps up, ALL said the MLC300’s quick disassembly will save on resources, too. “There are savings in assembly and disassembly time with Manitowoc’s VPC-enabled cranes,” Ruddell said. “A real advantage with the VPC system is the ease and stability in moving the crane from one location to another, even over rugged terrain. It helped when Lunda had to crawl the crane across certain sections of the freeway in a limited time frame during lane closures, too.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) 25

Terex Introduces Boom Booster Kit

All three options — superlift mast extension, split tray and flex frame — are available separately, but show their advantages work best in combination to reduce rigging time and the need for an assist crane, according to the company. Terex Cranes is now offering a boom booster for the Superlift 3800. It increases the main boom’s stiffness, boosting the crane’s lifting capacity by up to 30 percent.

Following the successful market launch of the boom booster kit for the Terex 8800-1 crawler crane, Terex Cranes is now offering a boom booster for the crane’s smaller sibling, the Superlift 3800. It increases the main boom’s stiffness, boosting the crane’s lifting capacity by up to 30 percent. Boom booster kits for Superlift 3800 cranes are available in lengths of 79 to 275 ft. (24 to 84 m), according to the company. The welded steel structure consists of up to seven sections with a length of 39 ft. (12 m), comes with the Terex fall protection system as standard, and is designed for being directly mounted on the crane. When equipped with the boom booster kit, the Superlift 3800 crane can reach a maximum hook height of 570 ft. (174 m) and lift loads of up to 88 tons (80 t). These parameters make this multifunctional crane especially well-suited to erecting large wind turbines, which usually require lifting heights of more than 459 ft. (140 m). Terex Cranes has developed an entire series of solutions designed to provide cost-effective use of the boom booster kit. For example, the structure has an overall width of only 11.5 ft. (3.50 m), making it easy to transport. Two additional boom sections can “slide” into the boom booster kit during transportation, eliminating the need for at least one truck. Another highlight is the optionally available superlift split tray with quick-coupling technology, which can be used when setting up the main boom with or without the boom booster kit. Once the main boom is set up, the counterweight is no longer required and can easily be uncoupled, after which the crane can move with only the superlift counterweight that is still needed. The split tray reduces the amount of assembly time and personnel required and eliminates the need for an assist crane for this particular procedure, according to the company. In addition, an 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) extension for the superlift mast enables an increase to the superlift radius from 62 to 69 ft. (19 to 21 m) and allows to lift off long boom systems from the ground without an assist crane. The optional flex frame solution, replaces the usual tele-cylinder, allowing easy setting of the superlift counterweight radius from 43 to 69 ft. (13 to 21 m) with full counterweight on the tray.

Once the main boom is set up, the counterweight is no longer required and can easily be uncoupled, after which the crane can move with only the superlift counterweight that is still needed.

All three options — superlift mast extension, split tray and flex frame — are available separately, but show their advantages work best in combination to reduce rigging time and the need for an assist crane, according to the company. With a mounted adapter frame at the end of the boom, the Superlift 3800 crawler crane can travel with a boom length of up to 310 ft. (94.5 m). “This saves between four and five hours of disassembly and assembly time total, making another significant contribution to cost-effectiveness,” said Guntram Jakobs, product marketing manager of Terex Cranes. Terex Cranes also offers a new, higher-capacity double hook block for Superlift 3800 cranes with boom booster kits. Together with the crane’s standard hoist 1 and hoist 2, this hook block not only makes it possible to reach a lifting capacity of up to two times 99 tons (90 t), but also increases the maximum lifting height by yet another 6.5 ft. (2 m). Also, the use of two winches speeds up the lifting speed by a factor of two. The boom booster optional kit is available with all new Superlift 3800 crane orders. It can also be ordered separately as a retrofit kit.. For more information, visit www.terex.com.
