However, what sets this type of plan apart is that it is signed off on by an engineer. Soil samples and ground bearing pressure data, ingress and egress plans for the crane, obstructions and calculations for the most crucial lifts will also factor into an Engineered Lift Plan. They include whole documents of information on the load, rigging and crane selection.
These may be generated using different tools, such as AutoCAD or 3D software. Generally, lift plans can be categorized as: Instead, building the jobsite in 3D over a plot plan or Google Earth image really helps communicate to the customer. They see risk mitigation benefits of lift planning software tools. Customers like the Army Corps of Engineers, a national developer of shopping centers, and a commercial gas services company, now require software-generated lift plans for bidding on and performing work. But increasingly, these types of lift plans are rejected by contractors or project owners.
There was a time when it was acceptable to hand draw crane placement on a plot plan or to cut and paste a drawing of a crane over a Google Earth image. Practically speaking, whether you are communicating with customers, site owners, or vendors or using lift plans for internal documentation and planning, it’s important that you know what the other party needs and expects when they say they want to see a Lift Plan. This document provides guidance on determining whether the load handling activity warrants a Standard Lift Plan or a Critical Lift Plan and what the roles and responsibilities are for various personnel involved in the load handling activity. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with ASME P30.1-2014 Planning for Load Handling Activities. For example, users can now: override the boom angle when using a load chart with fixed boom angles establish one crane in setup mode while simultaneously putting other cranes in normal operation mode for the creation of erection and dismantling plans and knife-jack a lattice boom with luffer to verify procedures for lowering long lattice/luffer combos into stowed position.In these examples, simple 3D Lift Plan documentation enabled the crane rental companies to better communicate with the customer. Other improvements, said A1A Software, offer users greater control of planning for unique lifting scenarios.
Printouts of the crane mats in the lift plan now display corresponding images of steel mats instead of wood when steel mats are selected as part of the plan.
This is in addition to the previous ability to select wood mats or DICA’s SafetyTech or FiberMax engineered outrigger pads or crane pads. Ground bearing calculations can now be made for steel mats with an option for layering steel mats over timber for better distribution of outrigger loads. A1A Software said users can now use the program to determine which type of crane pads or mats are best for the ground conditions.
