INTRODUCTION
This presentation is intended to be an overview of the basic elements of moving project cargo, heavy lift and over dimensional cargo
Elements we will cover:
ROADS
BRIDGES
PORTS
SHIPS
CUSTOMS CLEARANCE
SAFETY
ROADS
To Analyze during Road and Route
Surveys:
•Tunnels
•Bridge Construction Design Limits, Age and Condition
•Shoulder Strength
•Ground Bearing Pressure Limits
•Construction / Maintenance
•Power, Communication and Signal Lines
•Traffic Congestion
ROADS
To Analyze during Road and Route
Surveys:
•Grade
•Security
•Seasonal Weather Conditions
•Drainage and Culvert System Passovers
•Retaining Walls (GBP / Inverted Cone Effect)
•Erosion and Ground Stabilization Effect
•Surface Conditions
ROADS
Note: Ground Bearing Pressure (GBP)
and Cold Eye Review Team
What to consider:•Weight distribution of your load•Areas adjacent to existing embankments•Underground Utilities (Water, Gas, Fiber Optics, Drainage)•Areas of unstable Ground•Areas of weak or compressible soil
BRIDGES
Look Out Above and Look Out Below !
SURVEYS --What to consider:
• Condition Rating System – Rate from 0 – 9 (9 is in best condition)
• Three Categories to Survey and Inspect
1. Deck
2. Super Structure
3. Sub-Structure
BRIDGES
Mind the Traffic During Survey !
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
• Placard with Construction Data (year / weight limitations / type)
• Signs of Settlement on the Embankment and Sub-Structure
• Gaps and Cracks, Signs of Stress
• Corrosion, Oxidation and Fragmentations of Cement
• Aspalt Patches used to ramp a difference of road and bridge
BRIDGES
Don’t Pretend to be an Expert !
Do’s and Don’ts:
• Bridge Integrity is not always visible. If in any doubt, Hire a Professional
• Photograph document everything, different angles; top, bottom and Approach
• For Security purposes, carry identification and wear a company logo, you may be questioned by authorities as to why you arephotographing the bridge.
PORTS
What to Look For and Consider
•Availability of Deep Water
•Presence of floating cranes
•Specialized Service Providers
•Multi-purpose Capabilities
•Storage and Laydown
•Strategic Location
•Tidal Fluctuation
•Contingency Planning
•Experienced Labor
Don’t let your lack of Planning become the Project’s Emergency!
SHIPS
•Draft
•Experienced crew
•Availability and Dependability
•Ballast Calculations, third party survey and review
•Contingency plan in case of gear failure
•Ship’s gear lifting capacity
Considerations:
SHIPS
•Stability
•Port rotation
•Charter Party agreement and Roles/Responsibilities Clearly Agreed
•Ro/Ro vs lift on/off
•Mooring Calculations and availability lines, buoys, bollards, etc
•Age of the Vessel
Considerations:
