III. Quality and Safety Assurance Measures

1. Quality

Overhead crane installation must be carried out under the control of quality inspection and technical personnel, strictly in accordance with drawings and specifications.

2. Safety

  • Safety Policy: People-oriented, safety paramount.
  • Safety Goal: Achieve the “Three No-Injuries” (no harm to self, no harm to others, no harm by others).
  • Responsible Personnel: The project manager is the primary responsible person, and a dedicated safety officer is responsible for implementation and supervision.

3. Specific Requirements and Precautions

  • Training: All construction personnel must undergo rigorous training and pass the training before they can begin work.
  • Lifting Rigging: All lifting rigging must have a safety factor of at least 5 times, and lashing wire must have a safety factor of at least 10 times.
  • Cordon: The construction area must be cordoned off and supervised by designated personnel. Non-construction personnel are strictly prohibited from entering.
  • Lifting Operations: Lifting personnel must adhere to the “Ten No-Lifting” principle. Commanders must give clear instructions, and operators must concentrate and operate diligently. Electrical safety: Non-electrical personnel are not allowed to operate electricity privately. Standard distribution boxes must be installed on site, and cable laying must comply with standard regulations.

IV. Crane Installation Plan Development

1. General

  • Standards: Ensure the installation process complies with ISO9001 quality system standards and the Coal Mine Safety Regulations.
  • Inspection Specifications: After installation is completed, inspection and testing must be conducted in accordance with the “Specifications for Construction and Acceptance of Crane Equipment Installation Projects.”

2. Installation and Acceptance Standards

  • GB3811 Crane Design Specifications
  • GB6067 Hoisting Machinery Safety Regulations
  • GB/T14405 General-Purpose Bridge Cranes
  • JB 5897 “Explosion-Proof Bridge Cranes”
  • GB50256 Electrical Equipment Construction and Acceptance Specifications
  • GB5905 Crane Test Specifications and Procedures
  • GB50278 Crane Installation Project Construction and Acceptance Specifications

3. Implementation Plan Overview

  • Document Review: This includes equipment quality certificates, installation (operation) instructions, product electrical wiring diagrams, product electrical schematics and symbol descriptions, and component installation drawings.
  • Notification and Approval: Written notification to the special equipment safety supervision and management department is required prior to installation, and approval procedures must be completed. Technical Briefing: Before installation, the construction equipment and measuring instruments must be verified and a technical briefing must be conducted.
  • Equipment and Material Acceptance: Personnel from the owner, supervisor, construction company, and manufacturer will conduct an on-site inventory inspection to confirm that all parts are complete and meet quality standards before installation can begin.

V. Emergency Measures

1. Object Impact Accident Prevention and Emergency Plan

  • Safety Requirements: Wear a hard hat when entering the construction site. Do not throw materials randomly. Be careful of falling parts during overhead installation to prevent injury.

2. Electric Shock Accident Prevention

  • Safety Requirements: Non-electricians are strictly prohibited from connecting or disconnecting electrical wiring. Maintain a safe distance between live parts, display clear signs, and implement insulation and protective grounding measures.

3. Emergency Rescue Measures

  • Fire Accident: Immediately disconnect the power supply, call 119, and use on-site fire extinguishers.
  • Personal Injury Accident: Immediately report the incident and notify a hospital for on-site rescue.
  • Equipment Accident: Immediately disconnect the power supply, stop equipment, and report to the construction manager.

VI. Process Flow

1. Construction Preparation

  • Tool Inspection: Major construction tools and sub-processes must undergo testing and inspection.
  • Track Inspection: The trolley track must be inspected and accepted by the owner and the supervising engineer.
  • Personnel Training: All installation personnel must be certified and trained.

2. Bridge Inspection Methods

  • Girder Mid-Span Camber Inspection: Measure using a 0.49-0.52mm diameter steel wire with a pull of 150N.
  • Girder Web Local Warping Inspection: The measurement direction and location can be arbitrarily selected, but must not cross the H/3 limit from the upper deck.
  • Girder Horizontal Bend Inspection: Secure a 0.5mm diameter steel wire or 0.5mm diameter nylon thread with a clamp and measure at a pull of 100N.
  • Bridge Diagonal Inspection: Locate the wheel center at the wheel bend and measure the lengths S1 and S2 with a steel tape measure.

3. Crane Installation Process Sequence

  • Girder Hoisting: Select the lifting point, secure with wire rope, and hoist the main beam using an explosion-proof manual hoist. Adjust the main beam angle and then place it on the track.
  • Trolley Hoisting: Determine the working position of the explosion-proof manual hoist, lift the trolley, adjust the angle, and align it with the track.
  • Ancillary Facilities Installation: Includes walkway railings, ladders, conductive wire guards, lifting limit switches, safety gauges, and wire rope wrapping.
  • Electrical Installation: Includes electrical equipment installation, wiring and conduit installation, wiring, and safety grounding.

4. Crane Trial Run

  • Electrical Protection: Includes short-circuit and overload protection, undervoltage protection, emergency power-off protection, hoist and travel limit protection, door switch protection, and overload protection.
  • Grounding Requirements: The crane’s metal structure and the metal casing of all electrical equipment must be reliably grounded, with a grounding resistance of no more than 4 ohms.

Ⅷ. Completion and Acceptance

  • Self-Inspection and Corrective Actions: Promptly correct any supervisory observations made during the inspection process, conduct a thorough self-inspection, and complete a “Self-Inspection Report.”
  • Inspection and Acceptance: After passing the self-inspection, submit the inspection report to the crane user and apply for quality inspection by the special equipment inspection department of the local and municipal quality and technical supervision bureaus. After passing the inspection, the construction company submits a formal acceptance report and relevant materials to the crane user. The handover of these materials requires signatures from representatives of both parties.
