Course Description

Introduction

How to properly lift and move extra-heavy material onshore and offshore will be covered in this engaging 5-day training course on Advanced Heavy Lifting & Transportation Techniques for Onshore & Offshore Projects. When working on both onshore and offshore projects, engineers and technicians may benefit greatly from such a vast body of knowledge. Planning, recognising risks, evaluating criticality and risks, monitoring, and reporting these initiatives are among the skills that will be acquired from this course. 

Additionally, the adoption of best practices recommended by relevant international standards will be emphasised throughout the training session. Additionally, the training will undoubtedly have a big influence on both the participants and the organisations that choose it. 

Included in this Course N Carry training programme will be: 

  • Environmental factors, as well as maritime and land architecture, have an impact on heavy lifting and transportation initiatives.
  • When carrying out these initiatives, adhere to the international standards' best practices for equipment and staff safety. 
  • The development of methods and tools useful for subsequent transportation and heavy lifting tasks
  • The financial aspects of transport and heavy lifting projects 

Goals

Upon completion of this Advanced Heavy Lifting & Transportation Techniques for Onshore & Offshore Projects GLOMACS training course, participants will be qualified to: 

  • Recognise the significance of transit projects and additional heavy lifting.
  • Determine the different kinds of transportation and heavy lifting equipment. 
  • Give advice on how to utilise the many attachments and accessories that are used with these projects.
  • Take part in creating the plans for these kinds of important initiatives.
  • Before completing these jobs, do the equipment checks.
  • Learn about the dangers and hazards associated with these kinds of initiatives.
  • In an emergency, respond safely.
  • Follow the safety guidelines recommended by international standards.
  • Describe the elements that impact the stability of large cargo during lifting and transportation.
  • Complete record reports for these kinds of important tasks. 

Training Methodology

A range of tried-and-true adult learning strategies will be used in this Course N Carry training programme to guarantee that the material is understood, comprehended, and retained to the greatest extent possible. There will be a lot of interaction and participation in the daily course sessions. Alongside the presentation of movies showcasing the most recent advancements in heavy truck crane technology, heavy transportation equipment, large load lifting, and transportation safety, there are in-depth talks as well. It is highly recommended that delegates bring data from their job area to analyse; this makes the topic more relevant.

Impact of the Organization

An organisation that sends staff members to this Advanced Heavy Lifting & Transportation Techniques for Onshore & Offshore Projects training course anticipates that they will: 

  • Update their expertise so they can contribute to the successful completion of these important extra-heavy freight lifting and transportation initiatives.
  • Add a sizable skill set to their expertise that will improve the organization's operations and reputation. 
  • Increase team productivity to carry out these important initiatives.
  • Bolster their capacity to respond appropriately in risky circumstances
  • Participate actively in organisation H&S issues that are closely associated with these kinds of initiatives. 

Impact on Person

An employee of the organisation who participates in this Course N Carry training programme is expected to: 

  • Improve his current technological advancements relevant to his employment
  • Include a skill set in his professional description. 
  • Boost his productivity and everyday performance
  • Get better at making the right choices while managing difficulties at work on a daily basis
  • Bolster his capacity for self-learning

Equipment for Heavy Lifting, Both On and Offshore

  • Heavy lift, offshore installation, and offshore support boats are examples of offshore lift vessels.
  • Various kinds of vessel cranes (gantry, jib, and cargo; note the distinction between pedestal and mast cranes) 
  • Vessel crane structural characteristics
  • Conditions in the marine environment and how they affect crane operation
  • Several kinds of land cranes, including telescopic, lattice, carrier and boom, and mobile models 
  • Vessel crane structural characteristics
  • Impact of terrain and surroundings on crane operation 
  • Accessories for lifting
  • Onshore and offshore large lift cranes equipped with safety devices
  • The economics of large-scale lifting projects, both onshore and offshore 

Lifting Bulky Goods with Multiple Cranes

  • Associated guidelines and standards (ASTM, EN, ISO, BS)
  • Elements that influence heavy lifting (center of gravity, supporting points, ground and ambient circumstances, load geometry) 
  • A heavy lift operation plan should include information on crane types, crane positions, ground preparation, environmental factors, percentage of the crane's rated capacity, boom length and angle, load size and weight, lifting lug location, rigging, and risk assessment.
  • Control of the lifting process (potential risks, the lift team's responsibility, communication, coordination, and monitoring, computerised lift process control)
  • An illustration of lifting large objects using two cranes
  • An illustration of lifting large objects using two main cranes and one tail crane 

Transportation of Extra Heavy Cargo Onshore

  • Transport both single- and multimodal
  • Planning for the transportation of extremely heavy goods (choosing the right hauling method, highways, terrain topography, move speed and timings, pilot vehicles and special traffic licenses) 
  • Types of trailers for towing and self-propelled vehicles used to transport unusually large loads
  • SPMT trailers: varieties, uses, and structural characteristics
  • Types of hauling trailers: drop deck, double drop low boy, double drop expanding floor deck, flatbed, and expandable flatbed
  • Support for moving cargo (Schnabel hitch, ridge beams, lowboy)
