Crane Talk
t press time, the lawsuits had begun swirling around the New York City apartment building under construction, and its luffing tower crane whose boom flipped backward about 75 stories above ground when Hurricane Sandy stormed up the East Coast. Lives and livelihoods were interrupted for six days while the crane owner and the NYC Buildings Department discussed how to secure the crane, its luffer left dangling over a busy Manhattan street after the hurricanes winds flipped it. Although owner Pinnacles crews had properly weathervaned the crane in anticipation of below hurricane-force winds, Mother Nature, being what she is, didnt cooperate. Weathervaning would have handled the Level 1 hurricane-force gales if theyd hit the crane head on. Instead, winds blew up under the crane, and, like the skirt of Marilyn Monroes iconic white dress, forced it up and back on itself. Unfortunately, there was no one on-site to keep it rmly in placeand who could have predicted the need to? Theories, suggested solutions, and potential outcomes, including articles in the press, industry magazines and on sites such as LinkedIn. (Incidentally, if you dont stop by LinkedIn on a regular basis, you should. Valuable information is shared there across the international crane and rigging industry. In fact, this months Spotlight: Rigging article was spawned from a discussion in the LinkedIn Lifting and Rigging Group.) The media posed questions about whether more could have been done to guarantee the luffer, one of more than six dozen construction cranes at work around the city, was secure enough to face the storms brunt. Others asked
whether NYCwhich has seen more than its share of tragic crane-involved accidents in the last ve yearsshould beef up its policies even more to stave o future accidents. In this case, the tower crane had passed inspection just the week before the storm. And in weathervaning it, Pinnacle crews followed a good course of action, given the approaching storm situation. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg even went on record to say, The fact that those connectors have withstood the pressure just testies to how well they were put in and how stable that tower is. During recovery of the crane, once the luer was ipped, crews determined the next step was to strap the boom to the building before installing netting beneath it, further preventing it from falling to the street below. Three riggers, according to the New York Times, climbed inside the turntable, and working from a personnel platform, disengaged the hydraulic motor and manually cranked the turntable counterclockwise until the boom hugged the side of the building. For stability, they tied the boom to building columns on three oors. It seems as if NYC crane owners just cant win. What else could this crane owner have possibly done to prevent the luer from ipping in Sandys winds? Hed have suered as much criticism if the crane had fallen and damages or injuries had occurred as a result. Anyone whos hunkered down in the dark through a battering hurricane knows theres nothing you can do to stop Mother Natures force. As Mayor Bloomberg put it, Its conceivable that nobody did anything wrong whatsoever, and it wasnt even a malfunction, just a strange gust of wind. What do you think?

When Toronto, Ontario-based MJR Contractors needed a new crane to work at the Tullamore Pumping Station and Reservoir project in Caledon, Ontario, the company wanted to buy from a manufacturer it was familiar with. The job at Tullamore is fairly large, and we needed a crane that could crawl between the pumping station and reservoir to make big lifts, said Romeo Duarte, vice president of MJR. We are already using a Manitowoc 8000 crawler and are very happy with its performance, so we were confident in the choice to buy another Manitowoc. MJR bought the Manitowoc 12000-1 crawler crane to complement the work being performed by the 8000. The cranes are setting forms and pouring concrete, placing large pipes in the ground and assembling concrete forms, among other duties. MJR also plans to rent the cranes to a structural steel contractor that will be working at the reservoir and pumping station. The 110-ton capacity Manitowoc 12000-1 features heavy-lifting power but in a small, easier-to-set-up configuration. The crane can be rigged with up to 230 ft. of main boom, while its boom-and-jib extension can be rigged up to 270 ft. At the Tullamore jobsite, the crane is configured with 160 ft. of main boom and 60 ft. of jib. A National Crane NBT55 boom truck is also on site, assisting with erecting the Manitowoc 12000-1 and helping to load and unload trucks at the jobsite. The NBT55 is the largest National Crane boom truck, available in 55-and 50-ton capacities, and comes with either a 102-ft. four section, or 128-ft. five section, full-power boom. It boasts fully integrated machine controls and an LMI, a first for the boom truck market according to the manufacturer.

I read with great interest your editorial in the November I 2012 issue of Crane & Rigging Hotline, Is Intent a Good Excuse? , a commentary on OSHAs recent interpretation of its Crane Operator Certication Requirements included in Subpart CC of 29 CFR1926.1427. The C-DAC Committee, which included an OSHA representative, came together at 10 meetings over a 13-month period between 2003 and 2004 with the intent to form a viable and practical standard that would enhance industry safety. Since the beginning of this process, the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) has been very active in the development of the standard with a representative on the C-DAC Committee and sta attending every meeting. By the time of the rules promulgation, only one OSHA employee who participated in the committee meetings was still involved in the process. As a result, we now see with the benet of hindsight that some of OSHAs intent had changed as well. The regulation was promulgated under a new administration with dierent attitudes toward certication. Industry-member participants in the process believed the intent was to create minimum standards for crane operation knowing that equipment changes are inevitable and continuous crane operator training is an absolute necessity. The new OSHA interpretation of the language and intent make it clear the agency is treating certication as the capstone achievement in crane operation. When the proposed regulation was published in 2008, industry members came together and spent two days reviewing the document at SC&RA oces. In fact, intent is so important that when the nal standard was published by OSHA, it contained 226 pages of preamble to explain the intent and 47 pages of regulatory language. To say it is a complicated document when it needs more than ve times as many pages of explanation as it does of content can only be described as a gross understatement. In fact, the standard was still so unclear in its interpretation and implementation that on May 10, 2012, nearly two years after adoption, OSHA issued answers to 50 frequently asked questions explaining OSHAs intent. At that point it became clear we had a problem because for the rst time OSHA indicated that all crane operator testing and certication credentials would need to include both type and capacity of equipment. In fairness, the words type and capacity were included in the regulation but with a process that started in 2003 it did not become clear that OSHA believed it would be necessary on every certication document to include some sort of weight capacity designation. Further, in September 2012 OSHA clearly stated in a formal letter of interpretation (to industrys relief) that crane operators seeking recertication would not require hands-on testing if they had a sucient number of hours of operation in prior years. This is just another example of how OSHAs determination of intent and interpretation continues. It is also extremely important to note that OSHA will not designate how testing for capacity shall be done, leaving it (supposedly) to the various certication organizations and the standards-making bodies to which they report. However, OSHA retains the right to invalidate any procedures adopted by the certication bodies that dont meet OSHAs interpretation of intent. After SC&RA and the industry have worked this issue for more than a decade, for Crane & Rigging Hot Line to editorialize that we have been ignorant in our analysis; that intent is unimportant in a regulatory process; and that somehow industry should accept these untenable rulings that could cost millions, with no tangible impact to improve safety, it is both disappointing and dangerous to all segments of the industry.

Orlaco, Echo Bay, Ontario, has developed the RadarEye radar unit for use in conjunction with its camera-monitoring systems. Combined with an active signaling system, RadarEye offers additional safety and efficiency. The operator should detect humans, machines, and other objects while performing many operations to do the job safely. The RadarEye complements the camera-monitor system by emitting audible tones should someone or something appear in close proximity to the vehicle. Vista, Calif.-based Sherline Products suspended hydraulic scale is used to estimate the amount of weight being lifted for loading purposes. It has a 1 sq.-in. surface area hydraulic piston. Each pound of weight suspended from its hooks exerts exactly 1 psi of hydraulic pressure, read directly on the hydraulic pressure gauge, which now reads in pounds. The gauge is accurate to 2% at mid-range and 3% at extreme readings.

Space is tight between the dozens of gear machining units at the Liebherr-Components Biberach GmbH production site, which manufactures large slewing bearings. During the assembly of a new Liebherr gear cutting machine, the compact Liebherr LTC 1045-3.1 telescopic crane was used multiple times for lifting the individual components into place. In mid-October, the 4.2-tonne (4.6 tons) cutter head was raised into position for assembly onto the main column on the new machine. The counter-column was then lifted into place onto the machine bed. In this process, the LTC 1045-3.1 positioned a load of 10 tonnes (11 tons) onto a high-precision guide track with exceptional accuracy. The new Liebherr LC 2000 gear cutting machine can machine gears up to a diameter of 2m (6.6 ft.), where tolerances of just a few thousandths of a millimetre are critical. Crane rental company ESB, based in Mittelbiberach, Germany, took delivery of an LTC 1045-3.1 in its Ehingen production plant in April, and since then has handled several crane operations where the compact design and maneuverability of the 45-tonne (50-ton) crane were very much required. Our crane drivers are delighted. The crane is highly maneuverable. With the lift cab, the driver is at around eye height at approx. 8m (26 ft.) and can clearly see the working area, said Karl Engeser Jr., ESB managing director. Around 20% of the time, ESB deploys the LTC 1045-3.1 for industrial assembly work. On a normal construction site, however, such as for steel construction work or the assembly of prefabricated houses, the lift cab offers significant advantages as the crane driver is at the same height as the assembly personnel, Engeser said. Ten mobile cranes with load capacities up to 100 tonnes (110 tons) now form part of the ESB fleet, made up almost exclusively of Liebherr equipment.
Visionaire Inc., Grand Prairie, Texas, has introduced a new line of specialty cab heaters for heavy-duty off-highway equipment.

Whats All the Fuss about OSHAs Type and Capacity Rule? L
ately theres been a lot of chatter in the industry about OSHA requiring operators to be certified by type and capacity. This particular requirement was included in the new Cranes and Derricks in Construction rule when it was issued in 2010. It shouldnt be a surprise to those in the industry, so why all the fuss? In 2003, OSHA formed a committee to develop the new Cranes and Derricks regulation that would replace CFR 1926.550. This rule needed an update because other than the addition of language related to hoisting personnel, which was added in the late 1980s, there hadnt been any changes to the rule since its inception. OSHA 1926 Subpart CC, Final Rule was finally issued in August 2010, not only helping the industry to catch up to current industry standards, but going even further in some areas, such as its requirements for crane operator certification. Operators must be certified by Nov. 10, 2014, through an accredited program and by type and capacity. This is not a new interpretation. It has been in the standard since it was issued in 2010. Subpart CC 1926.1427(b)(2) states, An operator will be deemed qualified to operate a particular piece of equipment if the operator is certified for that type and capacity of equipment or for highercapacity equipment of that type. It has only become a hot topic recently because OSHA highlighted it in a Fact Sheet issued in May 2012. In the Fact Sheet, OSHA answers the following question. Question: Does an operator need more than one certification? OSHA Answer: With respect to certification from an accredited testing organization, an

operator must be certified for the type and capacity of crane he or she is going to operate. Each accredited testing organization develops its own categories for crane type and capacity. The requirement is not an unreasonable one. The industry has long recognized that the longer the boom, the more skill required to operate the crane. The concept parallels the idea that the greater the capacity, the more skill required. The International Union of Operating Engineers Local that I worked out of in the 1960s acknowledged this. Back then, you were paid more for operating a crane with a 100-ft. boom, and even more when the boom was 200 ft. or more. Crane operator licenses issued by New York City have a boom length restriction based on class that limits the class license to boom length. Chicago also has similar requirements, and other entities do as well. However, the problem is that some of the accredited operator certification programs were developed and updated before the new OSHA standard was published in 2010. Their certifications were based solely on crane types that did not have capacity limitations as OSHA was later to require. Many certifications for mobile crane operators were based on types of mobile cranes, such as fixed and swing cab for telescoping boom cranes. Certifications for lattice-boom cranes were based on crawler- and carriermounted types. The problem according to OSHA is that these type-based certifications were not categorized by any capacity. An operator could be certified to operate a certain type of mobile crane without any restriction regarding capacity. For example, an operator could have tested on a 15-ton swing-cab crane and be certified to operate a 500-ton crane of the same type.
I think this illustrates why capacity is so important when it comes to certifying operators, and why OSHA is standing firm on the requirement. A crane rated at 15 tons typically has a much shorter boom than one rated at 500 tons, and cranes with longer booms require much more skill to operate. I believe the intent of the type and capacity stipulation in the OSHA regulation is to prevent situations like this. Having no capacity limitations would be like someone passing a drivers test in a Volkswagen and then being able to legally drive an 18-wheel tractor trailer.
So what should be done to solve the current problem of operators who have certifications that do not meet the type and capacity requirement? OSHA answers this question in a recent publication titled Questions and Answers. Question: I acquired a certification from a testing organization before Nov. 10, 2014, and the test did not cover the new requirements of the revised crane [rule]. Do I need to take the test again before Nov. 10, 2014, or will my current certification be grandfathered until my next scheduled recertification test? OSHA Answer: Except as required within the jurisdictions of government entities, operator certification is not required until Nov. 10, 2014. After then, the certification test must cover the new requirements. If your test did not cover the new requirements, your certification will not be valid. However, if your testing organization provides you with a supplemental test covering this material, and amends your documentation, your certification would be considered valid.
December 2012 www.craneandrigginghotline.com
Question: If the operator certification that I received from a testing organization does not identify the type and capacity of the equipment that I am certified to operate, will it be a valid certification? OSHA Answer: No. After Nov. 10, 2014, the revised rule requires your documentation to include the type and capacity of crane you have been certified to operate. Question: Does an operators certification mean that the operator is qualified to operate any type of equipment covered by the standard? OSHA Answer: No. An operator may operate a particular piece of equipment if the operator is certified for that type and capacity of equipment or for highercapacity equipment of that type. For example, an operator certified for a 100-ton hydraulic crane may operate a 50-ton hydraulic crane but not a 200-ton hydraulic crane.
There are thousands of operators who currently have certifications that dont meet the type and capacity requirements. Nobody wants an operator to be disenfranchised or to have to spend a lot of money for more testing, but nobody wants an accident to happen and someone to get hurt or killed when it could have been prevented by operators taking the appropriate tests. There is a safety issue: Larger-capacity cranes being operated by operators who tested on lesser capacity cranes with short boom lengths. In other words, the tests they took were too easy for the cranes they were certified to operate. Thats a safety issue and cant be allowed to exist. So what is a reasonable way to solve this problem? Instead of requiring all those operators to retest, here is a solution that could be implemented. Its not perfect, but it is a reasonable solution. Current operator certification cards issued and based solely on type could be reissued with certifications based on the written and practical exams that were initially taken. Since it is the tests and processes that are
accredited, not the organizations, the determining factor for reissuing cards would be the crane capacities and boom lengths on which the operators were originally tested. Many operator certifications would not be affected. Operators who took written exams on lower-capacity cranes and practical exams on cranes with short booms would have a capacity limitation. However, some operators would have to take additional tests to operate cranes of a higher capacity. This would ensure that those certified had met certain minimum requirements or a baseline. It also would eliminate the current safety issue that exists and give the non-compliant certification organizations time to make changes to ensure their program meets OSHAs type and capacity requirements. All OSHA is trying to do by requiring operators be certified by type and capacity is to protect workers. This is not a cure-all. Someone still has to make sure an operator has the knowledge and skill to operate a specific crane. Requiring operators to be certified by type and capacity is a step in the right direction.

Heavy-Lift Cranes
A Super-Critical Eye
As mega capacities increase, crane factories play a bigger role in lift planning
Lampsons Transi-Lift LTL-2600B is equipped with up to 240 ft. of Lampson 1100 jib and another 240 ft. of MEC27 AB jib, and it has an ultimate capacity exceeding 2,600 tons. Completely mobile on two individually powered crawler transporters, the crane has the ability to travel in all directions.
en years ago, a 100-ton lift was considered heavy. Today, its not uncommon to see 2,000-ton plus loads. Faced with these super-critical lifts, crane providers take special precautions to make sure there are no failures. Not only are lift planning specialists heavily involved for months or even years prior to the lift, but in many cases, so are crane manufacturers. When it comes to critical lifts in petrochemical applications, myriad factors have to be taken into account. Theres the tightness of land; everything is built in close proximity to each other. There are obstructions, and theres no access. Youre in the middle of a forest of process equipment. Its a crane operators worst nightmare, is how Harry Costner, project development manager, Mammoet USA South, Rosharon, Texas, set the scene in recounting a turnaround project he was involved in at the Exxon Chemical Plant in Baton Rouge, La. More than three
years of planning went into the project, Costner told attendees at the May 2012 Crane & Rigging Conference, because the plants safe operations committee demanded the lift take place with zero chance of accidents. Every lift had to go over pipe racks and live operating pipelines filled with nitrogen, hydrogen, and gasoline. Thats why we call it a super-critical lift, he explained. The objective was to take the head off a fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCC) in one piece and put it back together in one piece. A team of planners took deliberate steps to ensure everything on the Exxon project was done completely safely. They conducted a site survey of the total plant area in order to tailor-make the critical lift. We refused to use old surveys, said Costner. We surveyed the entire plant. Because of headroom issues, a feasibility study was performed by Chicago Bridge and Iron.
The team performed a geotechnical survey to determine the type of foundation needed. The foundation concrete batch mix was tested to ensure it would be successful, and the planning team injected rods into the ground where they could not do exploratory below-grade digging. They then plotted every rod spot to be sure they would have no interference. It was determined a Mammoet S70 crane would suffice. A derrick crane positioned atop three tall legs, it could be placed in between holes in open areas within the refinery. At 500 tons and equipped with 220 ft. of boom, Its not considered a super big crane, Costner explained, but it was the only crane we could get to fit. The team also went through a tension load-test analysis, developed in the nuclear industry. Every component on the crane that is in tension was tested. We load-tested the crane at 100% of chart capacity and measured the foundation for movement while the load test was going on. We used water weights, with excellent results, said Costner. All crane inspections and load testings were completed successfully. There is documentation of everything, so it could be referred back to if something went wrong. Chicago Bridge and Iron performed a layout study because the site was so congested. All lifting gear and slings were certified and load tested. All operators were certified. We developed a lift manual that contained all drawings, procedures, etc., on how to do the entire lifting sequence successfully, said Costner. We had a procedure in place to make a change if it occurred. Most major accidents occur because of last-minute changes in a well thought-out procedure five minutes before the lift. Once youve developed your manual, never change, unless you have a strong management of change in place. The team had an emergency isolation plan in place and had a lift meeting the day of the

do a functional test, but it may also require a full inspection of the crane prior to the lift. Lampson Internationals philosophy is to look at every lift with a serious eye toward safety. We take into account any obstacles for the crane or personnel, explains Kate Lampson of the Kennewick, Wash., company, adding that with mega-lift cranes, anything over 85% of the cranes capacity is considered a critical lift. Often in petrochemical applications, heavy weights are involved, heavier components are on the hook, and specialized rigging may be required. On top of that, says Lampson, lifting takes place in close proximity to operating plant facilities and crane and rigging personnel as A 660-ton Terex Demag CC 2800, furnished by Mammoet well as plant personnel on the USA, handles a reformate splitter in tight quarters at a U.S. ground must be considered. petrochemical plant.

Figure out which is the You cant become complacent just because a best crane for the job. Get the one thats load is light, she says. best for youand work with a good, sound engineering company to help you through that process. The advantages the Lampson Transi-Lift offers when utilized in a petrochemical plant are its small footprint and maneuverability. Those features, coupled with the cranes ability to travel in all directions, allow the operator to make maneuvers he might not necessarily be able to with another kind of machine. There are advantages to the Transi-Lift where space is limited and the load is heavy, such as a petrochemical plant, says Lampson. Lampson International works with its customers in the beginning stages of lift planning to determine pertinent information on what is being lifted, the weight of the load, and the radius at which its being lifted. That information is taken to the companys engineering team, which works with the customer to put together a safe and efficient critical lift plan. Manitowoc Cranes assists customers in planning super-critical lifts through a newlycreated Lift Solutions department. We do a lot of customized work for people who own our cranes, explains Jerry Maloney, global product director for the Manitowoc, Wis., company. We try to help our customers get as much out of the product as we can with support, be it engineering or maintenance. According to a fall press release announcing the department, its services include quotes, engineering, and production of cranes or attachments for unique applications that require lattice-boom crawler cranes. Representatives from Manitowocs engineering, purchasing, operations, and sales divisions compose the team, led by Allen Kadow, to help customers overcome challenging lifts or job scenarios. In a super-critical petrochemical application, a study of ground-bearing pressures is key, says Maloney. They also may take wind conditions into consideration, as well as obstacles. Often planners will use our lift planning software, CompuCrane, putting their jobsite requirements against our load chart or boom length. Sometimes, a customer may ask for a custom load chart beyond the standard for a Manitowoc heavy-lift crane. It may be a matter of providing an approval letter from the factory before the crane is allowed to perform a super-critical lift. Beyond lift planning, we may provide special erection procedures for a very tight area, or From the outside of a U.S. petrochemical plant, a consult on a special procedure thats Mammoet-owned 750-ton Manitowoc 18000 gets some not in the normal operations manual, help from an Imperial Crane-owned AT, as both perform says Maloney.

Mammoet-specific training takes operators beyond industry-standard certification. When we first started building these heavylift cranes, operators were involved with the initial assembly and testing of them, explains Jeff Telman, Mammoet USAs vice president of business development. So they have a complete understanding of the inner-operability of the systems that run the crane before it arrives on the project site; these operators are truly specialists. The complexity of the lift typically drives a longer duration of analysis, says Telman. On many of these heavy-duty lifts, you may be engineering for multiple years before the actual lift takes place, he says. Whats distinct in petrochemical applications is the increasing radius youre making these lifts at requires you to go over many operating areas. Depending on the site, youre going to

The first 3,300-ton Liebherr LR 13000, purchased by Mammoet Global B.V., was set up on a Whiting, Ind., refinery extension project with a 256-ft. main boom and a 236-ft. luffing jib.
Mammoet Global B.V. put its recently-purchased Liebherr LR 13000 crawler into service at the BP Whiting facility in Whiting, Ind., on a long-term change-out project. The first production model of Liebherrs largest crawler, it has a capacity of more than 3,300 tons. The crane is the first crawler to be equipped with Liebherrs LICCON-3 monitoring system. According to Liebherr, the crane is the only crawler in its class that can work without derrick ballast, achieved by a powerful, Liebherr-made slewing ring. Mammoet decided on the Liebherr LR 13000 because of its enormous load capacity and high flexibility. Mammoets claim to the worlds most advanced super heavy-lift cranes, the 3,500-tonne (3,858-ton) PTC140, made its first major lift within the United States this summer. Utilized in Convent, La., on construction of a Nucor steel plant, according to Jeff Telman, vice president of business development, the machine is a platform twin ring containerized crane. Mammoet designed it in-house and had it fully certified by Lloyds of London, he said. The crane set the world testlift record when it lifted 3,800 tonnes (4,189-ton) at a 108-ft. radius. Key features include a non-stop load chart interpolation. The crane utilizes winches and wire rope rather than strand jacks, and has an extremely small footprint, low ground bearing pressure, and 100% redundant electrical and hydraulic systems. The twin boom A-frame design offers more stability and can operate at higher wind speeds than a single-boom system. At press time, Manitowocs 2,300-ton model 31000 was nearly ready for delivery. Its keeping us busy, says Jerry Maloney, global product director. A lot of testing is being completed, and we could deliver within this year. The company has contracts on the books for the massive crane; theyre just awaiting shipping instructions, he says. When a customer orders that magnitude of a crane, we have to know exactly where its going, he adds. Otherwise, we have to deal with transportation costs. Maloney expects the crane will be utilized on a power-generation application, or a similar, long-term project.

Business Issues
By Jim Schug
Long, Slow
Despite a groggy wake-up, construction sectors rise with U.S. economic recovery
Turning Point
hile the U.S. economy continues to improve gradually, some construction markets have recovered faster than others, and thats the case for the foreseeable future. Though forecasters predict that GDP will likely remain between 2% and 2.5% for the next several years, FMI is seeing improvement and increased demand in the home-building market, traditionally a harbinger of improvements in all other areas of construction. Despite the uncertainties of the economic growth rate, some longterm positive trends prevail: The United States remains a relatively stable investment and financial safe haven with strong consumption. Long-term foreign investment in the United States will increase, driving real estate investment as well as further business investments and acquisitions. Increased foreign investment will bolster our economy. With construction unemployment currently around 11%, this increase in demand will have a positive effect across the economy. Ongoing demographic changes, stemming from baby-boomer retirement, support construction of more multi-family projects, multi-use, and assisted living complexes as Americans move closer to cities and out of suburbia.
Infrastructure
The $109 billion, two-year bipartisan transportation bill drops the Keystone XL project, and it keeps environmental oversight while adding means to streamline project approvals. FMI forecasts that transportation construction will grow 3% in 2012 and 5% through 2015. State revenues are returning to levels that are more normal; next, they will need a clear picture of funding from the federal government. Private investment may also play a bigger role as institutional investors look for a steady revenue stream.
Trends
The passage of a new transportation bill will add some stability as well as funds to the transportation sector. FAA authorization passes, but flat Airport Improvement Funding may ground hopes for significant reinvestment. The FAA projects passenger growth will increase 3.7% a year over the next five years. System capacity is expected to grow 3.6% annually until 2031. By 2021, more than 1 billion people a year will take to the air. High-speed rail is slow to get projects off the ground due to state funding and political resistance. Growth in container ports is recovering from the recession. Intermodal transportation will be the focus of new projects. Railcar loadings are down from 2011, largely due to reductions in coal transportation. Areas that are up include petroleum, motor vehicles, and metal products. Despite the need for infrastructure projects, current funding is limited to those projects deemed critical. Sewer and water upgrades and EPA mandates require work that remains expensive and unfunded. Congress passed an immediate funding bill, which only supports a small fraction of the need. While still slow to materialize, public/private sources may yet play a larger role in infrastructure financing.
Construction forecast
If 2012 does become the turning point for construction, it will be a long, slow turn, which may prove to be a safer road to recovery. FMI expects construction to grow 5% (to $826 billion), and as high as 7% in 2013 (to $882.4 billion).That includes a solid recovery in housing, especially multi-family units, and strong growth in power construction. Other areas, such as commercial construction, will awaken to resume slower-than-traditional growth rates but somewhat ahead of national GDP growth. This is more reflective of population demographics than a rapid recovery. Health care, after slowing to near zero in 2011 and recovering to 3% growth in 2012, will gain steam to almost 7% in 2013. Again, this is a factor of baby-boomer demographics more than an economic boom, and the national health-care law could add millions of new insured needing health care. Major sectors involved in this slow recovery include infrastructure, highway and street, manufacturing, water, and power.

The new $109 billion transportation bill will finally help states again fund badly needed construction projects. Currently, we project that commercial property improvement plans (CPIP) for highway construction will drop 2% in 2012 and grow just 1% in 2013 to reach $77.7 billion, or near 2007 levels. The new bill may help to raise our forecast next quarter after the details start to work their way down to the state level.

Construction Markets
Trends
Funding uncertainty persists as ARRA money dries up and the new transportation bill goes into effect. Highway investment from ARRA peaked in FY2010 at $11.5 billion. The disappearance of this source of funding creates a significant head wind for new projects. Many state and local governments are not in a position to advance transportation programs without federal support and funding certainty. Public-private partnerships continue to generate more talk than action, although six projects, totaling $8.6 billion, appear ready to reach financial close in 2012. Request for Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program loans has exceeded dollars available, according to the DOT. A National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission report calls for more than $225 million annually for the next 50 years to upgrade our surface transportation system to a state of good repair and create a more advanced system. (Bill H.R. 402) Fundingnot needwill continue to be the big question for highway and street construction.
The Safe Water SRF is at $1.469 billion in FY2012, compared to $1.525 billion in FY2011, while the Drinking Water SRF is down to $919 million from $965 million. The presidents FY2013 budget calls for a 20% reduction in the Safe Water SRF to $1.2 billion and a 7.7% reduction in the Drinking Water SRF down to $850 million.
Power
Power construction has been one of the stronger areas throughout the recession and will continue to follow only residential construction in growth over the next five years. Even though homes and industrial needs are becoming more power-efficient, we are increasing the number of devices, such as the potential for more electric vehicles that will need electric power generation. Our forecast is for a 10% rise in construction for 2012 and another 10% in 2013 to $108 billion. Power-related construction is also in flux as to the type of fuel plants will use, with the rise in shale gas mining and the demise of outdated coal plants. Nuclear energy is slow to make a comeback due to regulatory concerns for safety as well as cost. Alternative energy growth will slow as subsidies are removed.
Trends
Emergence of shale gas supply fundamentally alters the U.S. energy landscape. EPA regulations are expected to halt new coal construction, drive premature retirement of existing capacity, and support the shift to natural gas power generation. The U.S. nuclear renaissance is on hold outside of regulated markets, as the low price of natural gas redirects investment. Industry experts anticipate nuclear to retain its near-20% share of generation going forward, spurring future investment. The power transmission and distribution market remains robust. Renewable energy is likely to stall, as incentives are set to disappear. Extension of the Federal Production Tax Credit (PTC), set to expire at years end, is uncertain. The Senate voted not to extend the PTC on four separate occasions in 2012.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing construction is demonstrating sound growth after a sharp drop of 33% in 2010 and a weak 2011. The forecast is for a 3% rise in 2012 and steady increases to 2015. Although growth has been uneven, manufacturing production, led by the automotive sector, has been on the rise. At 79.2% in April, capacity utilization is returning to normal levels. Production for utilities has also seen positive gains, especially for natural gas. Lower natural gas prices will also help manufacturing energy inputs. The ISM manufacturing activity index rose to 53.5% in May but fell to 49.6% in August. Growth spurts have been difficult to sustain, so manufacturers will be cautious before adding capacity and employees.
Water supply
Construction related to our water supply is beginning to grow but will gain only 2% in 2012 and 3% in 2013 to reach $14.7 billion. Federal funding for water projects was cut in FY2012, with further cuts likely in FY2013. The EPAs State Revolving Loan Funds were both down in FY2012, compared to FY2011 levels.
Trends
Strength in the mining sector creates a tremendous amount of water infrastructure work throughout North America and abroad. Strength in commodity markets continues to drive increased levels of mining activity through the development of new mines and redevelopment of existing mining assets. Heightened mining activity leads to increased demand for related infrastructure, including water. Seven billion gallons of clean drinking water are lost to leaking pipes each day, owing to an annual investment shortfall of $11 billion (EPA) to replace old systems. Approximately 17 million people in the U.S. are served by substandard water facilities. The EPA is in the process of improving numerous drinking water standards for various impurities, and is considering further revisions to the lead and copper rule. Green construction practices, such as controlling runoff to help increase groundwater, will become the norm for improvements and new construction. Water for shale oil and gas mining will increase demand in selected areas of the country.
www.craneandrigginghotline.com December 2012
Infrastructure in the broad definition is likely to be a central focus for construction for the next decade and beyond. The American Society of Civil Engineers is stepping up its call for fixing Americas infrastructure and failing roads, bridges, and water and wastewater management systems. No one has yet solved the issue of paying for it, and the longer the problems continue, the higher the price. Some signs of solving the problems include learning ways to build bridges faster, safer, and for lower costs, such as using more prefab and simpler designs. For power construction, although subsidies for alternative power sources such as solar and wind are due to run out, expect larger projects to continue to be planned and built. Meanwhile, the focus on natural gas from shale will continue to dominate and drive out more coal. Although it takes a long time to plan and build large infrastructure projects, all still rely on shifting economic sands. Ultimately, infrastructure projects depend more on funding than need. The need is there, the funding is not. As state and local governments struggle to rebuild their tax base, we expect fewer large-scale or megaprojects to be announced. There are always exceptions, and a number of larger projects are in the works and planned. Corporations that can self-fund with cash flow and reserves will also plan larger projects. Meanwhile, others will continue to update and rebuild projects to be more efficient and attractive. Despite the constant confusion of news from Europe and uncertainty and inaction in the U.S. Congress, there are positive signs in the economy. As one might expect, improving housing construction is helping to lead the way, especially multi-family housing. However, power construction is another strong point, and even commercial construction will show signs of rising from its slumber. Nonetheless, slow growth may be even more challenging than large market drops or boom times, because it requires improved management, precision market research, and creative business development.

Region Report
A 200-ton Tadano ATF160G-5 all-terrain crane, from the fleet of McRay Crane & Rigging, Houston, was used in tight quarters to move boilers at a central plant building while classes were being held on the University of Houston campus last fall.
lthough the country was in a deep recession in the mid-1980s, Daniel and Vickie McRay believed that they could build a thriving business by taking care of the customer first; treating employees like family; and providing new and innovative ideas to solve customers most difficult problems. The years have proven them right, and two projects, handled this fall by McRay Crane & Rigging crews and cranes, are a part of that proof. Beyond the fact that project space was at a premium, the safety of students on the University of Houston campus was McRays utmost concern when it came to moving custom-made boilers into tight quarters during the first week of school last September. Those two factors combined to make it a particularly interesting lift, according to Calvin Jones, director for the crane company.
AT offloaded the boilers and riggers carried them to the building, the crew used a 20,000-lb. Hyster industrial forklift and four 360 skates, and 50-ton Porta Power skates to gently maneuver the boiler into the glass-faced building. Especially challenging, though, was the fact that classes were in full swing at the university. The university was in session; students were everywhere, he said. Getting the boiler moved into location was very time sensitive. McRay purchased the ATF160G-5 in 2007 and chose it for this job because of its allwheel drive, which allowed it to maneuver through tight quarters. It comes equipped with a six-section, box-type boom that spans from 43'4" retracted to 196'10" fully extended. The machine has been used on several projects where space is limited and the lifts are considered critical, such as a fermentation tank placement at the Shiner Brewery, Shiner, Texas, as well as bridge beam projects and lighting installations at indoor stadiums.
On a recent Sunday morning, the crew found itself righting a multi-million dollar yacht which was quickly sinking in a high-end Galveston, Texas, marina. Its not unusual for

But this job was a true emergency. This vessel was unstable, and it if had rolled completely over, it would pose a serious problem, he said. We were successful in raising the vessel, and perhaps after some period of time in the shipyard, it will be able to go to sea again. For this job, McRay tapped a 275-ton Grove GMK 5275 allterrain, and set it up 75 ft. from the end of the yacht club pier. A 20-ft. spreader bar, endless roundslings, and 12-in. wide flat slings were rigged to the yacht. The weight of the sunken vessel was unknown, but the crew put 25,000 lbs. on the hook while divers attached the rigging and pumped excess water from the engine room and main salon, said Jones. The crane steadied the vessel as it was righted. In addition to keeping the vessel upright and not allowing it to roll completely upside down, which would further complicate the

rescue efforts, McRays crew had to keep curious onlookers out of harms way as well. The crane was purchased in 2012 and was used because of its lifting capabilities, as well as its ability to maneuver in tight spaces, said Jones. The five-axle Grove AT, equipped with a 223-ft., seven-section full power Megaform boom with Twin-Lock technology and luffing jib, has been used in several jobs since it joined McRays fleet last spring. Its first task was to move an oak tree planted in 1983 in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. for the city

We are fortunate to have a highly skilled group of employees that have made McRay Crane & Rigging their home, resulting in a very low turnover rate, said Jones, recently appointed to the Texas Crane Owners Association board of directors. We recently solved one of our biggest problemscontinual growing painsby purchasing our own facility with a much larger shop and office space. We are now poised to continue to grow and prosper and remain a valuable asset to our clients and the community.

WhatI'm still green. I've been here for two weeks trying to ever system you choose, have your figure out a system to work more efficiently, but due employer buy in, support your proto limited knowledge and experience, I cannot find a better solution. Whatever system
Weve found with our customers that home-grown or self-made systems are not able to handle the number of certificates, the movement of equipment (especially small and numerous items such as rigging), and the notifications as to when everything is due for an inspection and/or certification. There are now affordable rigging management solutions that allow you to manage the assets effectively and efficiently using handhelds, PCs, the web, and RFID tags. These are very popular systems in the lifting marketplace.
Problems: 1. All the lifting and rigging equipment is scattered. We have a lot of
projects using many dierent rigs, and the equipment is sent out without proper certications or records. There are no proper records for the lifting and rigging equipment available in the supply base either.
you choose, have your employer buy in, support your program, and train other employees.
2. Some of the lifting and rigging equipment is due for inspection, but I have no records because the certicates are unorganized. I cannot nd the original certicates for some equipment that I saw at the supply base. There are hundreds of certicates, and each has dierent serial numbers. Is there any systematic solution to this?
Agree on a cut-off date. From then on, you only send lifting tackle to site that is certified, and create a database from that point. As gear comes back in, get it checked and recertified if possible. If not, scrap it and buy new.
Advice:
Start thinking about managing the equipment from cradle to grave. It cannot be used until it is verified that it was made properly, tested, inspected, and most importantly, selected by a qualified person for the job. At the end, it must be disposed of properly. By maximizing ultimate value for each component, your company will soon realize they buy less because they know what they have and where it is or when it will become available. How to get started, and the only reasonable approach, is incorporating RFID technology. Most systems are interchangeable, and any reader can track a device. Database management, and by whom (local to all the way to offshore), has to be decided by management and/ or legal counsel.
on qualification, experience, and willingness to establish a long-term relationship that is based on your best interests. Dont get flustered; just start at the beginning with the proper help, and it should quickly fall into place. We issue certificates based on the inspected and tested material. When we fabricate a sling or bridle, we attach an itemspecific build sheet to our copy of the shipper with all of the pertinent information. Full traceability is exceptionally important in this profession.
Try to get a reserve set and switch complete sets. Numbering and documenting is your first step. Scan your certificates and store them by your following numbers and/or projects/works. Always certify the shackles and slings separately and mark them with the new numbering system. This way you can check if youve already documented the equipment and make sure you document the date in Excel so you can plan certification on time. Start from scratch. Gather as much equipment as you can and get it certified. Then swap it out with the equipment in the field and repeat the process. Then put your management system in place to control the equipment. It may cost a bit, but its the price you pay for compliance. If your gear is rented, the rental company should provide certification for all new equipment. We use a color-code system, usually for a six-month period. If your workforce notices that the equipment is not the right color for that time period, it should be removed from service. There is nothing wrong with removing shackles from slings as long as each item is individually certified. Recall any equipment that has no certification as soon as possible and replace it with new certified equipment.

Dont forget about the wire rope. Certificates should be available, and traceability is available all the way back to the rod mill where the steel is produced. Also, depending on equipment, there may be warranty issues as it relates to replacement ropes coming from the wrong supplier, or even a different construction. Your rigging supplier and their wire rope provider should be of great assistance. If not, find one who can.
