1. BACKGROUND

The Noell ship to shore crane was manufactured and commissioned at the Port of Durban
Container Terminal in 1998 and the crane was relocated to the Port of Port Elizabeth in
2019. The crane is utilized for the offloading and loading of containerize cargo.

2. PROBLEM

The rust on the crane structure has been identified in some of the areas and urgent
attention needs to be given to ensure rust does not accelerate to the integrity of the main
structure and also ensure the crane is still safe for operational use.

3. PURPOSE

By initiating a rust refurbishment program on the Noell ship to shore crane the lifespan of
the crane will be extended, structural integrity ensured, safety risks can be reduced and
increase in operational performance will occur ensuring higher customer satisfaction. The
rust repairs will consist of following:
The Refurbishment to consist of removing rust on critical safety area on the
machines and re-paint the repaired areas.
Rust removal will require that some parts to be newly fabricated and welding in
place.
Supply and replacement of components that are beyond repair.
Ensure the worked performed is line with the scope of work (SOW) and relevant
Transnet specifications well as the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Perform inspections and testing in accordance to the QC plan.
By incorporating a clear rust preventative product (wax product) over the newly
painted areas and cavities to prolong the life of the refurbished areas.
Ensure the worked performed is line with the scope of work (SOW) and relevant
Transnet specifications.

4. SCOPE OF WORK

The project scope for this project is to refurbish and repair energy chain on the Noell crane ship
to shore (STS) crane at the Port of Port Elizabeth Container terminal.

4.1. DETAILED SCOPE WORK ADDRESSING THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

4.1.1. Energy Chain Structural Repairs

The following services are required from the service provider by TPT. The removal, manufacturing,
replacement, installation and rust proofing of the components of the energy chain structure
(across the entire span), listed below. This list serves as a guideline but, repairs are not limited to
the components on the list:
Energy chain guiding trough structure (including the nylon bars for the energy chain
trough)
Supports and all connecting elements

The span of the energy chain structure is approximately 65 meters, as per drawing 152239RB
from the drawing pack (the measured span on site may differ from this). The entire span of the
energy chain structure is to be replaced, installed and rust proofing to be done. Areas to be
addressed in repairs (across the entire span of the structure) 5
Energy chain guiding trough structure
Nylon bars for the trough
Other internal elements of the trough, excluding the energy chain
Supporting elements (base of guiding trough) around the guiding trough structure and
other supporting elements
Any bolts attached
Welds

The examples below illustrate the current condition across the energy chain system. Similar work
is expected across the entire system. The manufactured guiding trough shall be hot dip
galvanized, conforming to the EEAM-Q-008 corrosion protection document. The supporting
structure of the trough shall be painted white, as per EEAM-Q-008 document, code RAL 3012. All
other sections must be painted as closely to the original colour as possible.
