Tilt-Up Concrete Construction-Crane Selection (Recorded presentation)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation focuses on crane selection for tilt-up construction projects, highlighting the types of cranes commonly used: crawler cranes, lattice boom truck cranes, and hydraulic boom truck cranes. The choice of crane depends on factors such as regional preferences, project requirements, and crane attributes like speed and cost. Crawler cranes are preferred for their mobility and load distribution but are expensive and require significant site space for assembly. Lattice boom truck cranes are cost-effective and can be transported to sites easily, whereas hydraulic cranes are the cheapest option but are slow and limited in scope. The presentation also discusses crucial considerations for crane use, like panel weight, crane reach, and site conditions, including terrain and obstacles. Proper planning, including crane rigging and casting plans, ensures the safe and efficient erection of panels, taking into account factors such as operator certification and panel cracking liabilities.
