Heavy Lift & Project Cargo Operations - An Introduction (Only E-Book)

SeaReader eBook Heavy Lift & Project Cargo Operations - An Introduction There are many different types of heavy lift and project cargo operations (HLPCO) carried out on a day to day basis around the world. These can range significantly in size, shape and distance to be transported. They can involve various types of equipment which require specific skills to be able to operate them effectively, efficiently and safely. All heavy lift and project cargoes need to be transported from the place of construction to the final installation site. When the place of manufacture is some distance from the site there will need to be some form of horizontal and/or vertical heavy lift transport by rail, road or sea. This will entail extensive planning, often involving expensive specialist equipment operated by teams of highly skilled personnel. The book introduces the reader to the theoretical and practical aspects of such activities, eg, rigging and stability aspects of lifting, transporting and loading out heavy loads. It also deals with risk assessments, safe working practices and legal aspects relating to these operations. It is intended for those wishing to enter heavy lift and project cargo operations and those who may be intending to become surveyors in this field of cargo operations. Mike Wall.
