ESSAY:
This week’s reading material shows that in comparison to a small site with a single crane, a multi crane is more challenging to plan. Briefly explain 4 planning characteristics in multi-crane building construction sites. Multiple parties being involved. Multi-crane projects involve more functional parties in the equipment planning in comparison to a single crane project. The increase in the number of involved parties results in project complexity. Reputation and visibility:
Companies with multicrane projects tend to care about the appearance of the site whilst the
construction is progressing. Companies tend to colour coordinate cranes, whilst using different manufacturers on the same site. This process can be time consuming and often needs a lot of management to meet the companies expectations. Crane layouts When multiple cranes are involved in a project it poses various managerial risks in comparison to a single crane project. Multi-crane projects often involve multiple shared zones that can pose various managerial and safety challenges in the construction process of a multi-crane project. Multi crane projects must ensure that they employ experienced and trained operators and plan daily and weekly schedules of the cranes to avoid the collision of two cranes during the construction process. Logistics of planning. Multicrane projects need more coordination and communication between operators in comparison to a single project. Construction mangers need to ensure that the cranes can reach all areas of the site. They must also ensure that there is substantial space for the cranes dismantling on the site, as this can often create complications on a multicrane site. On average, remediation work in Project Remediate is estimated to take around ____ to complete. ANSWER: 6 months
A contractor was awarded a medium scale repair and restoration work for a 10-storey building project. The site is congested due to adjacent buildings resulting in a constrained access. Moreover, the awarded contractor needs to work within a short period of time, thus,
a system which has the lowest down time is the preferred option. The work among others includes:
1m x 1m aluminimum architectural façade cladding Mechanical works Masonry works
Based on the description what is the best equipment to carry out the work?
ANSWER: Mast Climber What is accelerated aging test of a façade system? ANSWER e. Placing the façade in contact with specific acida and chemicals to create an aggressive atmosphere environment to test durability. Which of the earthmoving equipment suits best for the list of activities. Foundation backfilling Debris removal from site Rocks and aggregates removal to a dump truck. ANSWER: Loader and excavator What is spandrel panel in high-rise building façade? ANSWER: C. An opaque glass or non-vision According to Health and Safety Executive (HSE), what are the main hazards of using an excavator? ANSWER: A Moving slewing and working. In Andrews lecture, data collected from ____ years old class 2 buildings in NSW found that 39% of them had serious defects, costing $332,000 per building to rectify. ANSWER: 4 An electronic sensor part of the new mechanical system was installed on each panel of John Hancock Tower in Boston. How does the mechanical system work?

Group Problem: You are planning to build a log cabin in Northern Minnesota on a remote hill with a beautiful
view of the setting sun. You will drag the logs up a long sometimes rocky hill to the building site by means of a
rope attached to a winch. You will need a rope for this job so you aim to know how much weight the rope would
safely support. You are operating on a tight budget so matching the rope strength would be a cost saver. You
know that the logs are heavy, and estimate the heaviest as 1,000 lbs. From maps you verify the hill is steeped
at an angle of = 70° with respect to the vertical, and you estimate a coefficient of kinetic friction between a
log and the earthen hill as 0.5. When pulling a log you will ensure that the uphill acceleration is never more
than 3.0 ft/s². The maximum recommended load is th of the nominal strength for the ropes considered as
stated on the product labels, you have three ropes in mind: 12 kN, 18 kN, & 24 kN. Which one of these three

Case Study: Paula’s Pain
Paula has worked for Brindle Corporation for 3 years. During this time, she has worked as a machine operator/cell leader in various work cells. Recently, the plant went to mandatory 12-hour shifts and plans to remain on this schedule for several months.
Paula’s present work cell is manufacturing 3-inch diameter exhaust tubes that are made from stainless steel. These tubes get a hole punched in them, a flange welded on, and burrs ground off. The pipe then gets placed into a gage to check that it was made correctly. (The tubes weigh about six pounds.)
Paula has been performing the welding operation. She leans into the machine and loads the part into a fixture then positions the flange. Both pieces are clamped (using hand clamps) into position and the machine is cycled by depressing two palm buttons.
The gaging operation requires placing the finished part into the gage and clamping it (using hand clamps) into place. A pin is depressed to verify the position…

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.
In talking with the workers, Jeff learns of some of…
