PRELIMINARY INFORMATION ON LIFTING AND CODES

The DNV standard Rules for Planning and Execution of Marine Operations, Pt2, Ch5, Lifting, 1996, is
specifically for lifts greater than 50T.
The 2009 release of this standard will cover lifts down to 5T.
This spread sheet should only be used for lifts >50T until the it is updated with information from the 2009
release.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE OF SPREADSHEET

General Information
This spreadsheet calculates the rigging required for a 4-point lift according to DNV standard, Rules for
Planning and Execution of Marine Operations, Part 2, Chapter 5 for lifts >50T.

Refer to ASSUMPTIONS on Design Report page in addition to this information.

Note that symmetry is not required and padeyes can be place at any x,y and z coordinates.

Limitations
1) 4 leg lift only
2) IWRC GR1770 wire rope and Green Pin shackles and masterlinks only
3) Wire rope diameter is only calculated for the critical sling and UC is based on this sling
4) Above water/ offshore/ onshore/ on-platform/ inshore lifts only
5) Single hook lift only

Coordinate System y
COG is at the origin 2
z axis is vertical
x and y axis are in the horizontal plane
Lifting points are labelled anti-clockwise starting from the positive x and y quadrant 3

Inputs required
All inputs are in blue
The title block needs to be completed on the first page of the design report only
Inputs
1 Type of lift- Select as applicable (Offshore, On-platform, Inshore, Onshore)
2 Lift weight, to nearest 0.1T
3 Rigging weight, zero initally
4 D/d ratio must be greater than or equal to 4 (DNV Pt2, Ch5, Section 3.1.3), if no bending enter 4
5 Minimum sling angle (must be >= 60 deg)
6 Configuration and tolerance
7 Lifting point coordinates defined with COG at origin
8 Skew factor data, only required for 4 point, approximately double symmetric lifts
9 Sling details are used to determine sling safety factors
10 Override rigging selection
The spreadsheet will determine the rigging with UC's closest to 1
If a lower UC is desired input larger rigging size
11 Splicing reduction factor. Equivalent to termination factor in WEL standard.
12 Padeye UC from padeye spreadsheet

SOLVING
Define all required inputs as above. Solve without rigging weight and then increase weight by including rigging
weight to determine UC's. If original UC's are close to 1 the rigging required may change and the process
repeated. If the approx UC is used for the SKL calculation this should be checked against the results and
iterated if required.

Other Relevant Information

Input 1 Type of lift: Inshore, Onshore/ On-platform or Offshore
d, Rules for Input 4 If no bending insert a number greater than 4
Input 6 The rigging configuration and tolerance effects the SKL.
Three rigging configurations and SKL calculation methods as below:
i) Symmetrical and within specified tolerance, SKL=1.25, section 2.3.2.5
ii) Approximately symmetrical, outside tolerance, SKL calculated as per section 2.3.2.
iii) Any unusual geometry, SKL calculated assuming one leg inactive at a time
Input 8 The SKL is dependent on the sling load, and diameter so cannot be directly calculated.
A best estimate of fabrication tolerance and UC is required. The lower the UC the higher the SK
therefore the design should not be too conservative.
his sling Input 9 If the weight is well controlled and skew thoroughly considered, f=1.2, otherwise 1.3
If the slings is for single use, w=1.0, if multiple use and sling in good condition,
If wire rope is new,m=1.35, if used, m=1.5

Rigging Design Options
