FEM - Guideline Safety Issues in Wind Turbine Installation and Transportation
Guideline Safety Issues in Wind Turbine Installation and Transportation
This document serves to inform crane operators, project planners and also crane companies about safety issues during rigging of wind mills, especially about wind influences on a mobile crane on the job site.
The third chapter is an introduction to the basics of wind loads as e.g. covered by the European Standard for mobile cranes, EN13000.
In the following it will be shown how wind loads and finally special load cases, such as when erecting wind-power turbines, can be calculated.
Likewise it will be shown which information is required.
This document does not claim to be complete and is complementary to the operating instructions of the particular crane. As such it does not replace the operating instructions and the load chart book for the crane in question.
It is intended to create more sensitivity for the work with heavy plants by issuing this document.
FEM herewith offers the experience of all manufacturers joined in the association.
