 PROJECT:- Balance work 0f Two Lane with Paved Shoulder of Piparakothi-Motihari-

Raxaul Section of NH-28A from km 0.650 to km 62.064 and Construction of (2-Lane with
paved Shoulder from km 62.064 to 68.650 and 4-Lane with Paved Shoulder from km
68.650 to 69.241 ICP Raxaul ) Link Road ( 7.177 km length ) in the state of Bihar under
NHDP Phase-III

 Basic information
The cast in situ girders are of the length varying from 23.200m-29.600 m
and the weight of the girder is 60 MT to 80 MT respectively.
It is proposed to make use of Telescopic cranes/Mechanical crane of
varying capacity depending upon the weight of girder.

 Preliminary work to be done at Erection Site:

 Proper access will be prepared for the cranes to reach there & work.
 Proper Survey.
 Compacted surface shall be prepared around the piers prior to
mobilization of cranes for erection.
 Procedure for Erection:
 First, the 2 cranes of varying capacity will be placed close to the
Pier / Pier Cap adjacent to the erected span along with
the pathway.
 All the girders have the lifting strands embedded inside each girder.
The lifting hooks of the telescopic cranes will be firmly secured in the
lifting strands of the girders.

 Cranes are perfectly in working condition and we have assumed

their efficiency at 90%. The load chart of both the cranes are
available at site.
 The girder will be lifted from the bed and rest directly over sand
jacks/wooden peg. Supports will be provide to avoid any kind of
toppling till the casting of diaphragm.
 Once the girder is self-supported and stable, the crane hooks will
be unlocked from the lifting strands of the girder.
After erecting all the girders in a span, the cranes will be moved
away from the span. All the girders in a span will be secured with
one another by connecting the reinforcement of diaphragm and
casting diaphragm as early as possible.
 Initially the farthest girder in the span will be placed in position.

 Survey.
PRE LAUNCHING SURVEY:
 Prior to girder erection bearing centre and I-girder centre line will be
marked on the pedestal/pier cap on longitudinal and
transverse direction.
 Centre to centre distance of the pedestal of the span shall
be checked.
POST LAUNCHING SURVEY:
 Girder positioning shall be checked along with centerline of girder.
 True position and verticality / plumb shall be checked.

 BEARING PLACING

Girder Erection M/s Designilla.

 Bearing shall be placed and positioned and shall be checked prior to

diaphragm concrete.
 GIRDER ANCHORING / SECURING ARRANGEMENT

 Before the Cranes leave the girder onto the final position the same
will be anchored /secured properly with help of bracket frame and
turnbuckle arrangement.
 Alternatively diaphragm reinforcement shall be tack welded
for further strengthening and securing the launched girder
till the diaphragm is cast.

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
 Care should be taken to prevent Toppling/Tilting of the Girder during
Transportation, Erection & after placement.
 Proper barricading should be done with suitable traffic signs (warning
signs, diversion signs) to avoid any vehicles on the road encroaching
in to the working area.
 The Equipment’s will be operated by competent persons & within the
safe working limits and all the equipment’s will be
properly maintained and checked. No personnel will be allowed in the
area of working/swing radius of the crane and other equipment.
 All workers would be made aware regarding the methods of work
and safety awareness.
 Employing safe working practices by the concerned
Engineers, foreman & supervisory staff.
 Unauthorized / outside persons will not be allowed to
enter inside/near during the erection of girders.
 All the workers will be provided necessary safety equipment.

 Availability of site First Aid facilities.

 Proper Lighting arrangement during the night.

 PRECAUTION AND PLANNING WITH CRANE

 Planning before Start-Up
 Level and ensure support surface is firm and able to support the load
 Know the basic crane capacities, limitations, and job site restrictions,
such as the location of power lines, unstable soil, or high winds.
 Make other personnel aware of hoisting activities.
 Barricade areas within swing radius if public movements.
 Ensure proper maintenance and inspections.
 Determine safe areas to store materials and place machinery.
 Load Capacity - Speed - Warnings

 Know the Weight of the Load

• Ensure lift calculations are correct.
• Ensure load is within load chart rating for boom length and load
radius of crane
