Problems needing attention before crane installation

During their site visit, the overhead crane installers will spend a good amount of their time reviewing the area where the crane will actually be installed. On a new construction project, they’ll start roping off the area to give the General Contractor an understanding of the area that they will need to be cleared out during the crane installation process.

The crane installers will also identify any equipment or machinery that needs to be moved out of the way so that their trucks and equipment can get onto the grounds of the facility, set up a staging area, and have free and clear ground access to the site.

During this site visit, the installers hope to speak with as many sub-contractors as possible, so they understand what the timeline is for construction and what other work might be going on around them during the install. They’ll need to consider the timing and installation windows of other items like:

Electric and gas line installation
Concrete or other masonry work being performed
Overhead light fixtures
Duct work / roofing work
Plumbing

For a crane going into an existing building structure, they’ll rope off or mark the area that they will be using for the installation. Typically, they have other sub-contractors spray or mark load ratings on the floor and structural supports so they can identify those once all of the equipment and trucks arrive.

The crane installer also makes note of any obstacles they may need to maneuver around and takes pictures of the building layout to share with their team so that they can develop an action plan. Some of these obstacles may include:

Identifying the type of flooring (concrete, dirt, etc.) and also understanding the load requirements for bringing in heavy-duty equipment and trucks
Identifying load requirements for structural support beams for existing runways
What equipment or machinery will be operational during the installation process and what employees, if any, will be working near or around the area?
