Silence Pile........
Selection of crane must be studied in conjunction with the following factors
Capacity of Crane - The weight of the material will determine what kind of crane to be selected. Of course, it must plus a certain degree of safety factor.
Height - to what height that the material need to be lifted. Of course the hoisting sling may be included as well.
Working radius - The farther, the lighter the hoisting capacity. so it must be ensure the boom length is as short as possible which can offer higher hoisting capacity. This must always study together with the Weight of material.
Site condition, ground stability - Terrain must be flat for a safe working ground. Sometimes, steel plate shall be laid underneath to ensure load is spread out evenly. Special care must be taken if the crane is working under a sandy ground, when there is a raining day that might wash away sand below.
Rental, Money - cannot be ignored that money rental is a crucial as well in selection as a higher capacity will need higher pay. Then come to Mobile crane or Crawler Crane. All these are required to make a comparison. Sometimes, Mobilisation cost and demobilisation cost must be put in the costing as well.
Long term usage - Daily rental or monthly rental will also affect the rental. Proper planning can help to justify this and give a better rate if the duration can be known.
Over time charge - some of the overtime charge is skyhight. It must be control and monitor carefully. Only important operation will do OT, otherwise, it is always advise not to do night lifting work.
Other points like Site constraints - Height Limitation, Space availability, accessibility.
In nutshell, you must see the whole picture before choose a crane.
When come to the stage that call for tender interview, this is the utmost important occassion to clinch the project. This is a final round of competition amongst few of the finalists. Other than those common points like, company profile, job folio, financial balance sheet, technical knowledges , capacity of company, etc, are to be compare, you must have a set of strategy to tackle the interviewer to buy your idea.
First step in the begin of interview, you must able to identify your "friend" amongst (maybe) a group of interviewer. "Who is your Friend?", this is very subjective and solely rely on how the first impression of those individuals give you. Or it can be justified through the way they talked or questioned.
After the meeting, you shall collect more information about your "friend". Understand his/her charateristic will give you a better hand to handle him. Then, move on to be his/her friend, it is either invite a dinner and clearly spell out your intention is to be made Friend only. Sometimes, invitation must be rejected or he may decline by give thousand of excuses. This is a key point that you must try on of multiple methods, either begging or etc.. to make him be your friend is a must before move on to next step.
When he agree and accept your invitation, that means you are at a very high chances to obtain some information regarding to the tender or your competitor. Therefore, you shall immediately show your intention of willingness to revise the price or rate accordingly, provided you are so desperate for the job.
Other option, it is to know who is the shortlisted tenderer and follow up to negotiate with them and convince them to withdraw from the price war instead of slashing of the profit margin. No doubt, plenty of homework needs to be done prior to this stage. The basic is to make a comparison of price to market. Understand your strength and weakness in pricing.
Cannot deny that you may still fail the mission at the end of this tender, but keep a good relationship to all and develop your networking through this point. Well present yourself with a highly interpersonal skills to impress them and advertise your company at the same time.
Always make people buy your idea and make him feel comfortable to choose you and stress more on your strength. In all occasions, you must know who is the final decision maker and impress this KEY person rather than wasting unneccessary time on wrong target.
At last but not least, always be well prepared to enhance personal strength and understand your strength and weakness to strike at the right time, then the success will not be far from you.
First, to install Column and brace with propping. All beam support is to be installed prior to put up the column.
Second, after grouted the bottom of column, prop is release and the process continue to the rest of columns.
It installed with a big crane with a sufficient capacity and boom lift is used to assist for lifting operation.
After that, beam is to be installed up to the required level. The pocket of beam will be cast in situ to joint the column and beam together.
Scaffolding is erected to provide a working platform for stages installation.
The process is repeated from column to column.
After that, follow up with beam installation.
Thing is look simple and like a puzzle. In fact, it required a intensive skill and technical support to make it happen.
It is a Big Man LEGO...
