Portland Corps of Engineers

This Dix project required the retrofit of controls and equipment for re-rating the crane from a capacity of 60-tons to 62.5 tons. Work included removal and replacement of all motors; drive systems, conduit, wiring and back panel equipment. Dix also replaced couplings, provided alignment, installed guards at the electrical buss and new hook safety latches. Structural analyses were completed to verify the adequacy of the existing walkway on the crane, and to safely distribute test loads on the erection bay floor. This $350,000 project was wrapped up with a load test, operation and maintenance training, as built drawings and O&M Manuals.
