0 INTRODUCTION OF TOWER CRANE

Tower crane are regularly use and structure for truly difficult work or move
development materials in simple ways simply like rebar's, pre thrown, and other development
overwhelming materials required.

Erection of tower crane is so more difficult than one might expect, it's excessively
unsafe than we might suspect since one oversight equivalents to life of many people's, its needs
a mastery to do that predefined work and specialized information of the hardware and most is
involvement on how erection of tower crane done.

2.0 TYPES OF TOWER CRANE

i. Self-supporting Static Tower Cranes

 Generally have a greater lifting capacity than other types of crane.
 The mass of the self-supporting tower crane must be firmly anchored at ground
level to a concrete base with holding-down bolts or alternatively to a special
mast base section cast into a foundation.

1
 ii. Supported Static Tower Crane
 Similar in construction to self-supporting tower cranes but are used for lifting
to a height in excess of that possible with self-supporting or travelling tower
cranes.
 The tower is fixed to the structure using single or stresses in the supporting
structure, which must therefore be of adequate strength.

3.0 METHODOLOGY ERECTION OF TOWER CRANE

A. Erection sequences
1. This erection system permits a fast collect of the crane until it achieves its extending
position.
2. It requires a helper versatile crane, the qualities of which much relate to the parts to
be dealt with.
3. Decreasing the working time of the assistant crane to the base nearby includes a
decent coordination between the erection and collecting successions, the erection
group and the fitting gets to and gathering territory.

B. General guidance for erection

1. All the taking care of tasks utilizing the versatile crane must did securely.
2. Try not to over-burden the portable crane.
3. Use slings in great request and of right lengths as per the loads of the parts to be
lifted.
4. Focus on all the throwing focuses.

2
 5. Ensure that all the vital assurance and wellbeing implies are fitted and utilized,
for example, stepping stool, stages, watch rails, seat strap and so forth.
6. It is totally prohibited to lift a heap if the counter jib counterbalance weight isn't
fitted.
7. The crane must not be extended up with the breeze speed surpassing 13
miles/sec.
8. It is fundamental that guidelines on the quantity of the counter jib
counterbalance weight subject to the jib lengths are watched carefully.

C. Preparation of concrete block crane foundation

1. Arrangement condition – The table of powers and stresses, the dimensional
qualities of the fixing edge, the fitting of fixing edges to decide a concrete blocks
measurements and support.
2. The most effective method to pick the concrete block – It is admissible ground
weight of the site that decides for the last tallness to be come to and for each
sort of machine, the best kind of square to use for tower crane with any stature,
pick the square with a ground weight equivalent to or lower than that of the
ground site.
3. Dimensional attributes of the fixing edge – The fixing points must be fitted
symmetrically in connection to the tomahawks of the square and structure a 2
meter square as indicated by the component of the pole.

D. Assembling the parts of the crane

1. Gathering the 1.6 x 1.6 x 3m pole segment - Fit and fix the pole segment board
with 20 pole fastener and nut, 3m stepping stool and rest stage with gatekeeper
rail.
2. Gathering the upper and lower slewing - Fit and fix the upper slewing into lower
slewing. Fit and fix the 2 set slewing reducer with engine. Introduce the slewing
stage and gatekeeper rail. Introduce the lodge stage and watchman rail and fit
and fix the administrator's lodge
3. Gathering the feline head ( Tower Head ) – Fit and fix the associating plate, tie
bar utilizing shaft and split stick. Introduce stepping stool consecutive utilizing
section.

3
 4. Amassing the counter jib – Introduce the side stage and watchman rail. Fit and
fix the derrick winch engine and electric board box. Collecting jib suspending
bar for support and administration.
5. Collecting the jib – Get ready sections with 1 meter tallness and 1.3 least wide.
Spot the jib get together at the top and associate every one up to required length
of blast utilizing shafts and split sticks at that point place the trolley to the jib
and push it to the foot of jib No. 1. Associate the trolley engine with the trolley
winch. Reeve the trolley rope and fix it. Spot the trolley at the foundation of the
jib No. 1 and the front rope on the trolley winch ought at the very least 3 rounds.
Introduce the administration stage and watchman rail for trolley winch
administration on the jib. Interface the bind bar as per the all out length of the
jib required.

E. Erection
1. Fixing edge - Fit and fix the fixing point and fix together with the implanted j-
jolt and torque in agreement to the width of the pole.
2. Base pole (Exceptional Pole 1.5m) – Fit and associate with fixing edge with the
8 – 65mm measurement shaft stick with lock pins. Check the even and vertical
arrangement.
3. Pole area 1.6x1.6x3m – Interface the pole segment up to the required stature
utilizing 55mm breadth shaft stick with lock pins.
4. Monoblock 1.6x1.6x3m – embed the monoblock as indicated by succession
planned for inner climbing.
5. Slewing get together – Fit and interfaces with the last pole segment utilizing 8-
50mm measurement shaft stick with lock pins.
6. Tower head get together – Fit and interface with the upper slewing.
7. Fitting the counter jib – Before throwing the counter jib, first lift the counter jib
off the ground about 1meter and right the throwing focuses for equalization if
essential. Interface the counter jib to the taxi pole by methods for 90mm breadth
shaft sticks and lock pins.
8. Fitting the stabilizer balance – Fix one (1) solid balance as per succession as
offset before interfacing the full length of jib get together.
9. Fitting the Jib – Raise the jib from the beginning check its security and flat
dimension. Make the jib considerably tilt. Sling and raise it until it achieves the

4
 sticking focuses, and associate it with the feline head. Stick interface the jib to
the tower head and supplement split pins to bolt it.
10. Fitting the tie bars of the counter jib – Fit the tie bars of the counter jib
subsequent to fitting of the tie bars of jib is finished. Keeps the portable crane
throwing the jib in the meantime without discharging. Stick associate the bind
bar officially moved to the counter jib foot with the tie bar on the tower head
utilizing 60mm breadth shaft stick and lock pins.
11. Fitting the stabilizer counterbalance – Fit the staying stabilizer weight one by
one as indicated by the different length of the jib after the achievement of crane
erection. Stick it by utilizing 50mm breadth shafts. When every one of the
squares are fitted, they should be bolted together utilizing the locking plate bar.
Rope reeving for the derrick winch together with the lifting square.

F. Charging of unit
I. Introduce all stage and security rail.
II. Plan control supply – 440 v, 60 Hz
III. Establishment of riser link.
IV. Testing controls and engines.
V. Alignments of all point of confinement switches.
VI. Burden testing with the outsider required for affirming the unit.
VII. Hand-over the unit with complete authentication prepared for task.

4.0 SITUATION WHERE UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCE OCCURS AT SITE

An industry crane can be a dangerous piece of equipment. Each and every year there are injuries
and death occurred due to the crane accidents. There are numerous factors that can cause a
failure, and it is essential to complete a best practice forensic investigation to identify the root
cause of a tower crane failure. Among the most common are:

1. Wires
Wire failures are the most common cause of crane incidents. On a tower crane, wires can fail
due to being overloaded, fatigued, having a pre-existing defect, or suffering from deterioration.
This type of incident can cause serious damage, with hook loads, predominantly cargo, being
dropped unexpectedly from height.

2. Mishandling
Mishandling a crane or swinging its load can cause damage including major structural collapse,
with serious implications in worst-case scenarios. The actions of the crane operators,
commonly stevedores, should be monitored, and controlled as necessary, by those on board.
