SDC has the experience and technology to insure that your EOT cranes will operate safely with minimum downtime. We can realign your rails and help maintain the structural components of the crane runway. The goal is keep the crane rails straight and to eliminate the catastrophic failures that occur due to defective structural design.
Structural Analysis
SDC can perform specialized analysis of EOT crane runways to address unique engineering and design issues.
- Forensic Analysis of Crane Girder Failures
- Crane Girder Torsion and Fatigue Analysis
- Torsion and Fatigue Resistant Crane Girder Design
- Crane Girder Tie-Back Specification and Design
Structural Inspection
SDC is an inspection based company and all of our work flows from detailed structural inspections. The inspection results are input into a database program that writes the reports and can post process the data to develop repair plans. Other services include:
- Structural Inspection Program Development
- Critical Structures Identification
- Condition Based Repair Plans
- Repair Cost Estimates
- Drone Inspection
Laser Alignment Surveys
SDC performs EOT Crane and Crane Runway Alignment Surveys. The survey results are input into AutoCAD drawings where we determine a best fit crane rail alignment. The best fit alignment is based on our experience and may deviate from CMAA 70 standards. The rail may be offset as needed from the girder centerline.
Construction Services
SDC provides field supervision and quality control of crane runway structural repairs and crane rail realignment. Other services include
- Crane Runway Repair and Alignment Design
- Construction Management
- Vendor Qualification and Shop Inspection
