In the interest of safety. any restrictions in the use of the equipment have abo been highlighted. Where possible. for economic reasons. standard equipment should be used but for special cases it is possible to obiain customised gear to allow san awkward job to be cared out. Manufacturers should always be consulted regarding any customisation and under no circumstances should this be carried out without their written consent. Further information as to the safe use of the equipment can be found in the Rigging and Lifting Handbook contained in Volume 3 Section 7.0 Part 4 DESIGN NOTES Generally. items of lifling equipment are manufactured to a standard or code but where neither British nor Intemational standards exist 10 cover the design and/or manufacture the following criteria shall he met! wy ‘The equipment will have a factor of safety commensurate with the type of usage itis liable to be subjected to, This factor of safety will be 5:1 for normal lifting purposes and 8:1 for man-riding purposes. Q All materials used in the manufacture shall conform to a recognised national standard, a All welding shall conform to either recognised national standards or welding procedures approved by BP Exploration Operating Company Lid. ” All welds shall be of adequate strength suitable for the designed rated capacity of the equipment. “0 Each unit shall be manufactured t0 the highest quality and standards of workmanship, Oy The surface of each unit shall be prepared correctly prior to the application of a protective coating and if specified, this coating shall be suitable for use in a marine environment British and Intemational Standards have been quoted throughout this section but the dates of issue have purposely been omitted to eliminate the need for revising the document each time a standard is re-issued. It is to be understood that the latest issuc/revision complete with any amendments will apply to equipment supplied to or used by BP Harding AssOVERHEAD CRANES, RUNWAY BEAMS AND LIFTING BEAMS Overhead Cranes sad cranes shall be so designed that the stresses do not exceed the allowable as specified in BS 2573, Should the cranes be powered, they must also meet with the requirements of BS 466 Generally, the construction of the building or module in which the crane is 10 be installed. will ictae the cranes maximum capacity. Overhead cranes are available with vo basic ridge designs ie. single girder and double girder. With single girder construction, the hoist unit is ross travel” (see Fig 1) Fig In the case of double girder construction, the crab unit travels on rails mounted on top of the girders or between them with the crab wheels running, on the lower inside flanges (see fig 2), ‘The main advantage of double girder cranes is the reduced headroom and increased height of lit due (o the decreased beam depts and the ability 10 raise the hook up between the beams. In either cise, long travel (also known as ‘down shop travel) is obtained by means of carriages fitted at teach end of and at right angles to the cross girder{s), ‘The hoisting unit can either be a standard under-slung trolley hoist (fited with cither wire rope oF chain) or a crab unit mounted between or on top of the bridge girders (for wire rope only). The bridge would be compatible with the width of the building or modulepneumatic or The crane operation both hoisting and travelling can either be powered (electri as hydraulic), manual (operated by handchains) or a combination of both ie. they are supplied to suit speetic requirements 2.1.1.6 Most powered models have single speed or dual speed options but all are fited with overhoist limits as a safety feature. Additional safety features available are cross and tong. travel brakes/timits ete. and for certain applications, anti-collision equipment 2.1.1.7 Where headroom is restricted, the jointing of the bridge to the end carriages can be either cut down or even made flush (see Fig 3). a fe L a — GB ne Ny LP sraxparp cur DowN PLUSH Fig3 2.1.1.9 For special applications, the cranes can be supplied with the following specifications: o Spark proof 2) Explosion proof a Coated for use in a marine environment 2.1.10 The following information would be required from the crane supplier to allow the engineering department to carry out the required stress calculations w Total weight of erane bridge including end carriages and crabitrolley hoist unit re) Maximum individual wheel loads including horizontal loads & End carriage trolley wheel centres a ‘Track width of trolley wheels 0 Recommended minimum section of downshop support beams/rals 21.2 RUNWAY BEAMS 2.1.2.1 Runway beams shall be designed in accordance with BS 2853 and shall be of proper size and axlequate strength for the application.

Guidelines for Design, Fabrication and Inspection of Lifting Points provides more detailed information relative 10 this subject. weral construction phase of the Definitions for terms used in this Section, are in accordance with the standard definitions. for Lifting Gear and Lifting Appliances. as contained in fof Terms of this Manual, The exceptions are: o Lifting Point: generic term for the calculated and designed point(s) or attachment(s) on an item of plant, by which ican be lifted safely using certified lifting geur and appliances of adequate capacity. ‘The erm also applies to points or attactiments Axed to structural members and from which a load can be suspended. It includes such common names as lifting lugs, lifting eyes, trunnions, fabricated lifting plates, padleyes and jacking points 2 Rated Load: the maximum vertical load which can be accepted by a lifting point. @ Plant: the term includes machines, sub-assemblies and structure The following is a scleetion of different types of lifting points. The type of Hifing pointy depen con the design of the plant to be lified but the first two illustrated are the most popular fabricated type wo Welded-on lifting points with holes suitable for shackles or hooks, eg padeye (see Fig 1) Shackle Pin dia +10% —+ (MINDIA) Shackle Jawgap -10% (MAX WIDTH ) FigtFig2 As an alternative to the wicated type, there ane standard manufactured items ie. @) Eyeplates.

When practicable, the number of lifting points incorporated in the design should be sufficient to ensure stability, and Timit stress in the structure to within design limits, They should also be positioned so that each point supports an equal proportion of the total load.2.2.13 Fabricated lifting points should be designed 10 withstand transverse bending of the plates and welds Each lifting point should be designed have a factor of safety of not less thant 4:4, based on the rated load applied vertically. and the ultimate tensile stress of material used, The fictor of safety will be 3:1 when the lifting point is a jacking point. and when the lifting force is applied normal to the jacking surface When calculating the rated lond factors. such as weight allowance and dynamic amplification factor, the location of the centre of gravity should be considered, Lifting points should be orientated in such a direction as to minimise out-of plane loading. Consideration should be given to the number of lifting points which will bear the load at any one time: In practice itis unlikely that the total load will be evenly distributed amongst all the lifting points. ‘The actual load distribution will depend on a number of Factors including the construction of the plant, cg flexibility of the structure, sling length, tolerances etc. It is recommended to assume that ina four point lft situation, 754% of the load is distributed between two diagonally opposite legs, the third leg supports 25% of the loud and the fourth leg is redundant. ‘This equates to a possible increase in load on each lifting point of 50%. Therefore each lifting point shall have a rated load ‘of not less than 1.5 times the share of the load which it is intended to take when the load is applied vertically ‘As a general rule however, the following formula should be adopted: Load x 15 Rated foad at 0° = No of lifting points For rigid loads the majority of the load may be taken on only two of the four lifting points and the rated load for each lifting point should be considered as 0.5 times the total load. This is an extreme condition Each lifting point should be rated with a Safe Working Load (SWL) for lifting at 0° to 45° to the serical. This equates to the rating of 2, 3 and 4-point lifts using the uniform load method 0° to 90° where the maximum included angle between the legs is 90° When lifting points are designed for use with shackles, the dimensions will he such as to accept the pin of the shackle and suit the shackle jaw gap. "AS a guideline, the hole diameter should equate to the shackle pin diameter plus 10% and the plate width (including cheek plates if required) equate to the jaw gap minus 10%. Any tighter tolerances. will cause problems especially after the application of a coating to an offshore specification. (Information regarding Itt poinis on major items eg modules can be found in the Engineenng Reference Document Guidelines for Lifting Points and Heavy Lift Criteria”.) Lifting points will be designed in accordance with recognised design codes such as BS 449 Specification for the use of Structural Steet in Buildings or BS 5950, Welding carried out in the fabrication of lifting points and attachments shall be performed by welders qualified to ASME IX and in accordance with BS 5135 or other standards approved by BP.a % Safe Working Load a0” 10 90 Tapped holes, when used to locate «lifting point (eg eyebolt). shall have the thread form and iaeneter permanently marked adjacent 10 each hole.

They can be procured in various. capacities ie, WLL 750kg. 1 Ste, Ste and 6te. (Certain manufacturers supply capacities between those stated above and as high as 15 tonne but these are awkward to use and not popular with the users), The standard range of lift is 15 metres but this can be increased 10 suit any specific requirement. Should this increase be 6 metres or more. the manufacturer should be consulted as regards to the design of the brake mechanism. The same applies with light loads where low operating efforts are necessary They are available with two types of chain ie.: standard short ink chain and roller chain (see Fig 1). Link chain models are the most popular as they are exible and easy 10 use whereas roller chain models tend to be more rigid and the chains corrode and seize more readily Top Hook pe ot Drtan up Dimension Extended Oimersion Range oft Chain End Stop One of the major advantages when using a pullift instead of a chain block is the “drawn up dimension’ (closed height) due to the lack of headroom in offshore modules, This dimension ‘aries with the different manufacturers.246 24.10 24 24.13 24d 2415 NOTE: One of the disadvantages is that to operate the pullifi the user has to be at the same level as the suspension point which could create « requirement for scaffolding Pullifty are supplied with swivelling top and bottom hooks for ease oF attachment ¢© suspension point and loud. They can also be hooked into-a beam trolley for travelling a load slong a mnway beam. Icis recommended that the WLL should be reduced by 20% if the pullifts are in constant use at full or near full capacity. This is not really relevant in the Oil and Gas Industry as the hoists are only used intermittently for construction/maintenance work.

Itisulso convenient as all installations have a utility air supply in the majority of their modules Preumatic chain hoists are not manufactured in the UK and consequently there is no British Standard to give guidance as to their design. The main safety feature built into this type of hoist however appears to be constant with all manufacturers and that is that the brakes are sprung in the on’ position and require air supply (0 release them. This in effect means that in the event loss of power (e.g. aburst hose etc.) the brakes are automatically applied to prevent any load falling ‘The hoists are also fied with inp devices to prevent over-hoisting or over-low 25te and Air hoists can be procured in various capacities ic.

Ite, He, Ste, 10te. 15 Ste, (Certain manufacturers supply capacities between those stated above) ‘The standard range of lifi (see Fig 1) is 3 metres but this can be increased to suit any specific requirement. Should this be a substantial increase, the manufacturer should be consulted as may be necessary to derate the hoist due to the excess weight of load chain, For long lifts. chain collector boxes can be filled to the hoist. Fig The control pendant or chains (which normally hang 1 metre above than the lowest position of the bottom hook) can be made any length to suit the operating position 2. the operator may be standing on a mezzanine level with the bottom hook required to reach the deck S metres below. Inthixeaye, the control pendant or chains should be $ metres shorter than normal Pendant controls (with push buttons) are the preferred option but tend to stick if exposed to contaminated air supply. If the hoist is going 10 be operating in areas exposed to the elements, cchain or cord conisals are often more effective us there are less components to corrode.= 269 26.10 26.11 2613 One of the major considerations when selecting an aithorst is the ‘drawn up dimension’ (closed height) due to the lack of headroom in offshore modules, This dimension vanes with the different manufacturers and with the different configurations. bottom hooks for euse of a Standard airhoists are supplied with swiselling top suspension point and load. They can be hooked into a heam trolley for traveling alo beam or can be supplied ‘built-in’ 0 a trolley 40 save headroom. — Where clearance hetweea runway beam and load is particularly restrictive, Ultra-low headroom air trolley hoists can be utilised (see Fi Fig2 Airhoists are primarily designed to be operated vertically but hook suspended blocks will work efficiently up to45% off the vertical. Airhoists hooked or built into trolleys (or combined units) should only be used i the vertical position. If a horizontal pull is required, Lever hoists (Pallifts) ‘or Wire rope hoists should be utilised (refer to sections 2.4 and 2.5). Aishoists which have un-coated aluminium components in their construction should be avoided (ie. they should be suitable for use in an offshore environment) Prior to being received by BP Harding Asset, each hoist will be subjected to a Proof Load relative {o its working load limit (WLL) ie Up to 10 tonne - 1.5. x WL. 10-20 tonne - WLL + St ‘over 20 tonne - 1.25 x WL. and will be supplied with a proof load test certificate and plated accordingly with the refevant information Spark-proof and/or explosion proof hoists are available for use in hazardous areas but there isa limited amount of manufacturers.
