f. For telescoping booms: An integrally mounted holding device (such as a load hold check valve) provided with boom support hydraulic cylinder(s) to prevent uncontrolled lowering of the boom in the event of a hydraulic system failure (e.g., supply hose).

21.5 For night operations, lighting shall be adequate to illuminate the working areas while not interfering with the operator’s vision.

21.6 Each load shall be rigged/attached independently to the hook/master-link in such a fashion that the load cannot slide or otherwise become detached. The practice of “Christmas tree lifting” steel is prohibited. Long slender objects (e.g. steel beams, pipe, bars) shall be rigged to be lifted horizontally using two independent choker or eyebolt type pick-up points in such a fashion that the load cannot slide or otherwise become detached, taking into account the sling angle to the load in determining sling loadings.

21.7 Comply with ASME B30.9 for slings, ASME B30.26 for rigging hardware, and ASME B30.20 for below the hook lifting devices.

21.8 For multi-purpose machines, material handling equipment, and construction equipment used to lift loads suspended by rigging equipment, the contractor shall have proof or authorization from the machine OEM that the machine is capable of making lifts of loads suspended by rigging equipment. The contractor shall demonstrate that the equipment is properly configured to make such lifts and is equipped with a load chart.

22. JACKING OPERATIONS PLAN (if applicable).

22.1 Definition. Jacking operations shall be designed and planned by a registered professional engineer who has experience in jacking systems. A jacking operation plan shall be implemented by the contractor and shall include detailed instructions and sketches indicating the prescribed method of erection or disassembly. These plans and designs shall include provisions for ensuring lateral stability of the ground or pier area during the lifting of the crane onto the crane rails.

22.2 A jacking operations plan shall discuss the following:

a. Jacks/lifting units shall be marked to indicate their rated capacity as established by the manufacturer. The rated load shall be legibly and permanently marked in a prominent location on the jack by casting, stamping, or other suitable means.

b. Jacks/lifting units shall not be loaded beyond their rated capacity as established by the manufacturer.

c. The operator shall make sure that the jack used has a rating sufficient to lift and sustain the load. Jacking equipment shall be capable of supporting at least two and one-half times the load being lifted during jacking operations and the equipment shall not be overloaded. For the purpose of this provision, jacking equipment includes any load bearing component, which is used to carry out the lifting operation(s). Such equipment includes, but is not limited, to the following: threaded rods, lifting attachments, lifting nuts, hook-up collars, T-caps, shearheads, columns, and footings.

d. Equipment shall be designed and installed so that the lifting rods cannot slip out of position or the contractor shall institute other measures, such as the use of locking or blocking devices, which will provide positive connection between the lifting rods and attachments and will prevent components from disengaging during lifting operations. In the absence of a firm foundation, the base of the jack shall be blocked. If there is a possibility of slippage of the cap, a block shall be placed in between the cap and the load.

e. Jacks/lifting units shall be designed and installed so that they will neither lift nor continue to lift when they are loaded in excess of their rated capacity.

f. Jacks/lifting units shall have a safety device installed which will cause the jacks/lifting units to support the load in any position in the event any jack lifting unit malfunctions or loses its lifting ability.

g. Jacking operations shall be synchronized in such a manner to ensure even and uniform lifting of the load. During lifting, all points at which the load is supported shall be kept within 1/2 inch of that needed to maintain the load in a

Page E-10 level position. The operator shall watch the stop indicator, which shall be kept clean, in order to determine the limit of travel. The indicated limit shall not be overrun.

h. If leveling is automatically controlled, a device shall be installed that will stop the operation when the 1/2 inch tolerance set forth in paragraph g above is exceeded or where there is a malfunction in the jacking (lifting) system.

i. If leveling is maintained by manual controls, such controls shall be located in a central location and attended by a competent person whole lifting is in progress. The competent person must be experienced in the lifting operation and with the lifting equipment being used. A "competent person" is defined as one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.

j. After the load has been raised, it shall be cribbed, blocked, or otherwise secured at once.

k. The maximum number of annually controlled jacks/lifting units on the load shall be limited to a number that will permit the operator to maintain the load level within specified tolerances of paragraph g above, but in no case shall that number exceed fourteen.

l. Under no circumstances, shall any employee who is not essential to the jacking operation be permitted immediately beneath the load while it is being lifted.

m. Jacks/lifting units shall be positively secured so that they do not become dislodged or dislocated.

n. Each jack shall be thoroughly inspected at times which depend upon the service conditions. Inspections shall be not less frequent than the following: (a) for constant or intermittent use, once every 6 months, (b) for jacks sent out of shop for special work, when sent out and when returned, and (c) for a jack subjected to abnormal load or shock, immediately before and immediately thereafter. Repair or replacement parts shall be examined for possible defects.

Jacks, which are out-of-order, shall be tagged accordingly, and shall not be used until repairs are made. All jacks shall be properly lubricated at regular intervals. Hydraulic jacks exposed to freezing temperatures shall be supplied with an adequate antifreeze liquid.
