Recent project: crane jib repair
-
The No.3 crane sustained significant damage during cargo operations at a Port Vancouver terminal.
-
The McGregor representative determined that the deformed section of the jib needed to be removed and replaced.
-
The entire boom was removed from crane and landed ashore.
-
Repairs were scheduled to complete prior to the vessel's return on the next voyage.
-
A-1 crew cut out the damaged segment.
-
A new section of the jib was flown to Vancouver from the manufacturer's plant and delivered to A-1 Marine's premises.
-
The assembly was prepared for welding and transported to the terminal.
-
The new piece was welded to the crane jib under supervision of the manufacturer's representative.
-
After extensive testing was completed, the jib was painted and loaded onto a barge in advance of the return of the vessel.
-
The completed unit was lifted and reattached to the crane mast.
-
The crane wires were reinstalled and the crane was brought back to operational condition.
-
The crane was thoroughly inspected and tested, then officially put back in service.
-
The entire job was completed on time and on budget.
