Plan: assembly and dismantling of tower crane

Steps that must be performed in order when tower crane is erected or taken down

§Before assembly

  • 01Foundation or anchoring is checked and approved for the planned crane
  • 02Assembly plan from the manufacturer has been reviewed and the auxiliary crane for the task is correctly sized
  • 03Work is led by an expert and all involved are instructed in the order

§During assembly.

  • 01Tower sections are erected and bolted in the sequence prescribed by the manufacturer
  • 02Counterweight is installed in the correct amount and sequence so the crane is never unbalanced
  • 03Wind conditions are continuously monitored — assembly is postponed in too strong wind

§After assembly, before commissioning

  • 01Overload protection, emergency stop and brakes are tested and functioning
  • 02The pivoting brake's engagement function (flag weathervane) is checked
  • 03The crane is approved by an expert, and the approval is documented before it is put into use

§Disassembly

  • 01Disassembly plan is followed in reverse order of assembly unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise
  • 02Counterweight and sections are removed in a controlled manner so the crane does not become unstable during disassembly
  • 03The area under and around the crane is kept cordoned off throughout the dismantling
