Wind Turbines anyone??

Here we have a crane crew trying to tip over a crane.
The load was too far out for the boom and it was falling away and pulling the crane over.
I stopped all work and order a safety stand down.
The next day they had to do a full crane inspection, and a crane operator was let go, and one from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Florida</st1:State></st1lace> flew out to take over.
So far the new operator is doing fine.
I wasn’t very popular for a few days after wards.
That’s the short story of it.

 

As soon as the last bolt is tourqued it is ready to produce.

 

Congrats on the promotion, well done, Quigs!! I had to jettison a crane operator last year for trying to boom down about 5 feet outside the safe zone. He tipped the crane and busted up a bit of masonry, dimpled a strut. Had to take the crane out of service and bring in another one. The hell of it is, he was a fine operator up until then, not a hitch in the gittalong along year and a half. How he did it remains a mystery, the rig was fully computerized.

 

The typical unloading of a blade

 

The typical of building a blade in place

 

Working on the anemometer on the small crane 200 ton

 

Flying the blade in during ruff wind, take a few guys on tags lines, more than normal

 

Barnharts head guy parked too close and I got the picture, he quit his job afterwards.Wasnt too good of a day.
