2. DEFINATIONS
 CONSTRUCTION OF REV:02
AD Diriyah Art Futures Center
Date: 19/01/2022 Lifting Operation Plan

2.1. Competent Person

Under this standard a person who, by possession of a recognized pertinent degree or

certificate of professional standing or who, by extensive knowledge, training, and
experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating
to the subject matter and work. Competent persons shall be designated in writing by the
Contractor department manager.

2.2. Tower Crane

Tower crane consisting of a rotating superstructure with a power plant, operating
machinery, and boom, mounted on a base and equipped with crawler treads for travel or
mounted on a crane carrier equipped with axles and rubber-tired wheels for travel.

2.3. Crane lift Critical.

Any crane lift that requires a Critical Lift Plan

2.4. Crane Lift-Standard (Ordinary)

A standard crane lift is any lift not classified as a critical lift. Crane configuration shall be
with main boom only.

2.5. Crane operator

A person certified by third party as being qualified to operate a specific model and capacity
of crane; may also receive additional certifications for crane attachments, tandem lifts, pick
and carry operations, and personnel platforms (man baskets).

2.6. Critical Lift Plan

A Critical Lift Plan is a document that identifies a specific load and the operating
restrictions. Pertinent information includes all weights on hook blocks and attachments.

See attachment # 2

2.7. Rated capacity (LOAD) limiter (RCL)

A device that automatically monitors radius, load weight, and load rating and prevents
movement of the crane, which would result in an overload condition.

2.8. Rigger
A person certified by Third party to prepare a load for lifting. (rigger categories are Lifting
Supervisor, II, and III)
 CONSTRUCTION OF REV:02
AD Diriyah Art Futures Center
Date: 19/01/2022 Lifting Operation Plan

2.9. Tandem Lift :

Any crane lift involving two (2) or more cranes lifting or tailing the same load at the same time.:
The factors additionally should be considered while the tandem lifting commenced:

1. Determine the center of gravity of the load before you attempt to lift the load.
2. Attach the load properly to the cranes.
3. Ensure that the center of gravity of the load doesn’t shift while lifting or moving the load.
4. Stably move the weight to avoid facing any lifting failure.
5. The center gravity should not shift while moving, the load won’t be stable and may lead to failure.

The positions of the cranes matter while you try to lift a huge load using the tandem method. The entire
tandem lifting operation has to be completed under the supervision of an expert. You must not engage
inefficient workers in tandem lifting. If you don’t posit the cranes in the right positions, you will face a lifting
failure.

Sideloading is something that can be very dangerous during a tandem lift. Sideloading can be the reason
for severe accidents while lifting the load. Sideloading can occur due to the improper coordination among
the cranes you’re using in the tandem operation. Ensure that the cranes are in a proper sequence whil e
you’re initiating a tandem lift.

Before executing a tandem lift, the working team must have a well-constructed lifting plan. Tandem lifts
should not be performed without proper lifting plans. Executing tandem lifts in abrupt ways can be
extremely dangerous as can injure the operator seriously.

Weight distribution is another factor that you have to keep in mind while performing tandem lifts. The
weight of the load that you’re lifting should be well distributed among the cranes during a tandem lift. You
can use similar cranes to lift the load in a balanced and stable way. Overloading is a disastrous issue that
can be the leading reason for a lifting failure. You must check the load-taking capacity of each crane that
is involved in a tandem lift. In the case of unequal distribution, you can use cranes with different load-
taking capacities to make the process easier. You also have to check the movement speed of each crane
before you start the operation. Cranes with different movement speeds are not favourable for a tandem
lift. If the load is equally distributed among all the cranes during a tandem lift, the lift becomes easier.
In several cases, the loads require additional riggings to get lifted. Sometimes, you need to apply
separate lifting equipment for lifting the load. In such cases, equalizer beams can be a good solution to
your problem. You can use equalizer beams to avoid unequal distribution of the load among the cranes.
Besides the cranes, you have to know the maximum load-taking capacities of the rigging equipment and
equalizers beams as well. A complete rigging detail is mandatory for a successful tandem lift.

2.10. Lifting Gear

Shackles, webbings, slings, wire ropes, chain blocks, block and tackle, chains, spreader
beams

blanket and multiple use Critical Lift Plans may be used:

Note: Blanket Critical Lift Plans can be used for critical lifts using the same model and
capacity of crane, working from the same location, to lift the same piece of equipment
during different time periods, without having to fill out and sign a new Critical Lift Plan
form. The same Critical Lift Plan may be used for critical crane lifts, provided:

□ A new work permit is issued. The load configuration must be IDENTICAL,

□ The same lifting equipment and accessories (crane, load weight, location,
obstructions, work environment, etc.) are used,
□ The same rigging configuration is used, and Field verification has been
performed by the Contractor Supervisor. The Contractor Supervisor shall sign
and date the top of the Critical Lift Plan prior to the crane lift.
□ The crane shall not move from the inspected and approved location without
prior approval from the permit issuer

Note: Multiple use Critical Lifts Plans are crane lifts using the same model and
capacity of crane and location to lift an assortment of different pieces of
equipment. The same Critical Lift Plan may be used for multiple use critical
crane lifts, provided:

□ The most extreme radius, boom length, and load weight of the multiple lifts is
used in the calculations.
□ The same crane is used (identified in the Critical Lift Plan by the Equipment
ID#),
□ The certified crane operator and certified rigger/rigging competent person, who
signed the multiple use Critical Lift Plan are used, and A multiple use Critical
Lift Plan shall not be valid thirty (30) days from the date of signature by a Lifting
Supervisor/rigging competent person. After thirty (30) days, a new multiple use
Critical Lift Plan shall be obtained.

the DAO job requirements.
• The crane operator shall have the final decision on any crane lift that affects the safety
of the entire lifting operation.
• Third party riggers/rigging competent person shall be used to rig all loads, regardless
of weight to be lifted, configuration, or location. This includes such operations as
standard and critical lifts, loading or off-loading trucks (including boom trucks), etc. The
Contractor shall provide, in writing, the weight of any load prior to the lift.
• Personnel with Third certifications as both a crane operator and as a Third-party
certified rigger or rigging competent person shall not be allowed to perform both
functions at the same time, nor shall such a person be permitted to supervise a lift
while operating a crane.
• All crane travel on highways and outside plant areas shall be with the normally
mounted boom sections only. All hydraulic cranes shall have boom sections fully
retracted, jibs removed or stowed, and hook blocks secured. A positive locking device
shall be engaged to prevent the boom from swinging during travel. For all cranes fitted
with retractable suspension units, the suspension shall be level before traveling.
• All hydraulic cranes traveling inside plant facilities with more than the normally
mounted boom sections shall do so in strict accordance with manufacturer’s
specifications and procedures. Hydraulic cranes, traveling with more than the normally
mounted boom sections, shall not travel more than 1 km (0.6 miles). All direction
changes while traveling with extended booms or jibs shall be assisted by a flagman to
ensure that the boom tip I clear of any obstruction.
• All direction changes while traveling with extended booms or jibs shall be assisted by a
flagman to ensure that the boom tip is clear of any obstruction.
• All lattice boom cranes traveling inside plant facilities, without boom disassembly and
on the same job, shall do so in strict accordance with manufacturer’s specifications
and procedures. Repositioning of lattice boom cranes, without boom disassembly and
on the same job, shall be permitted, providing the movement is less than 1 km (0.6
miles) and escorted front and back. All crane direction changes while traveling with
extended booms or jibs shall be assisted by a flagman to ensure that the boom tip is
clear of any obstruction.

Date: 19/01/2022 Lifting Operation Plan

• If an operational aid stops working properly during the lift, the device/crane
manufacturer’s recommended procedures shall be followed. If no procedures are
available, a Lifting Supervisor/rigging competent person along with the crane operator
shall establish procedures to complete the lift.
• The use of operational aids shall not replace the requirements for verifying load
weights, radii, and lift parameters.
• All cranes working around populated or traffic areas shall have barricades placed to
provide clearance for tail swing. Only authorized personnel shall be permitted inside
the barricaded area.
• Cranes working near trenches and excavations shall be a minimum distance equal to
the depth of the trench or excavation for Class A soils and twice the distance for Class
B and C soils. If a safe distance cannot be kept, the trench or excavation shall be filled

the crane; and Insert and remove boom sections for truck and crawler mounted lattice
boom cranes.
• Suitable knot-free and defect-free tag lines shall be used to control suspended loads,
except when their use may create a greater hazard. It is the intent of this Standard to
communicate that it is not acceptable to use hands to control or direct loads into
position. The act of positioning loads shall always be a ‘hands free’ act. The tag lines
and other devices shall be used to keep the employees at a safe distance from the
suspended load. In complex situations, this shall be planned in advance to ensure, the
involved employees are not at risk to the lifted components by being in the position to
physically contact the load.

(cribbing) used under outrigger mats shall be stable to avoid overturning or sinking into
the soil. Outrigger mats shall not be permanently attached to the crane outriggers.
• Cranes shall be secured during high winds or after working hours by snubbing to
structures, laying down the lattice booms, withdrawing the hydraulic boom extensions,
and/or following manufacturer’s specifications. Tower cranes, when unattended, shall
have slew brakes released to allow weather vanning.
• The crane operator shall not leave the controls at any time while a load is attached.
• The hoisting, slewing, crossing, luffing, or traveling motions of a crane shall not be
used to drag any load along the ground with the hoist rope out of the vertical position.
Crane operators shall only pick-up loads when the boom head and hook are in plumb
(centered directly over the load).
• The main boom line and the auxiliary boom line (whip line) shall not be used at the
same time on the same load, unless otherwise specified by the crane manufacturer.
• Windows shall be provided in the front and on both sides of the cab or operator’s
compartment with clear visibility forward and to either side. Visibility forward shall
include a vertical range adequate to cover the boom point at all times.

• During crane operations, any activity that distracts the operator from the operation of
the crane will not be allowed, i.e., Cell phone, newspapers, books.

7. Riggers

• All riggers shall be certified by an approved Third-party source as Lifting supervisor,

Lifting supervisor, or Lifting supervisor (Supervisor) for a maximum of two (2) years.
The rigger certification identifies the load weight limits and type of lifts that can be
rigged without supervision. Lifting supervisor can rig loads up to 10 tons. Lifting
supervisor can rig loads up to 40 tons, originate Critical Lift Plans, and rig/supervise
crane suspended personnel platform (man basket) operations. Riggers-I Can rig all
loads and approve Critical Lift Plans for critical lifts. A Lifting supervisor and/or a Lifting
supervisor may only rig loads exceeding their certificate level if supervised by the
Rigger of the higher certificate level or by a rigging competent person. Loads noted in
approved Critical Lift Plans shall be rigged by a rigger certified for that load category
(lifting supervisor/rigging competent person, II, or III). However, all loads 40 tons or
greater require a Lifting supervisor/rigging competent person to supervise the lift.
• The rigging competent person is not intended to by-pass the Rigger-I requirements. A
