About this file
This document is a detailed technical specification section (41 22 13.71 26) for the Intake Gantry Crane Data, Testing, and Training at Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota. The specification provides comprehensive requirements for replacing an existing 80-ton intake gantry crane, including detailed protocols for shop inspections, on-site testing, acceptance testing, functional testing, and field training. Key testing requirements include no-load, 100% rated load, and 125% rated load performance tests, with specific criteria for hoists, trolleys, gantry travel, and individual components like the main hoist, auxiliary hoist, and jib hoist.
The document outlines rigorous testing and acceptance procedures, including requirements for qualified crane inspectors, craftsmen, and operators, detailed testing protocols, and extensive documentation requirements. The testing process involves multiple phases, including initial and final inspections, with strict guidelines for test weight management, equipment monitoring, and performance verification. Additional requirements include providing spare parts, conducting field training sessions (16 hours of general operations and maintenance, and 16 hours of solid-state maintenance training), and submitting comprehensive test reports and as-commissioned variable frequency drive (VFD) parameters. The ultimate goal is to ensure the new crane meets all operational, safety, and performance standards before final government acceptance.

3.7 TEST WEIGHT
3.7.1 Test Weight Requirements
Test loads must weigh within plus 5 percent, minus 0 percent, of the
SECTION 41 22 13.71 26 Page 17 nominal load. Test weights may be solid media or water bags.
3.7.2 Below-The-Hook Lifting Devices
Any Contractor-provided below-the-hook (BTH) lifting devices must be clearly marked with the rated load of the device. The design, fabrication, marking, and load testing of the devices must conform to ASME B30.20 , ASME BTH-1, and EM 385-1-1 .
If BTH lifting devices are custom fabricated or not pre-engineered, include design calculations in the Test Weight Plan. Design calculations must meet the requirements of 41 22 13.75 26 LIFTING BEAM AND BELOW-THE-HOOK LIFTING DEVICES. Perform all fabrication or modification of custom fabricated below-the-hook lifting devices in accordance with
SECTIONS: 05 05 23.17 26 WELDING (STEEL), FABRICATION, AND MACHINE WORK
and 05 50 04.00 26 METALS: MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
All BTH lifting devices must be load tested prior to being used on-site for load testing. If a device has been previously load tested, include the documentation of the load test in the test weight plan. If a load test is required, notify the Government a minimum of 14 days prior to the planned date of the load test so that the Government may witness the load test.
3.7.3 Water Bag Requirements
If water bags are used as the test weight media, observe the following requirements:
a. Maintain clearance from electrical equipment.
b. Provide means of pumping water into the water bags from the forebay, and after testing, a means of draining the bags into the forebay. Do not drain water bags into the powerhouse drainage system. Size pumps, piping/headers and valves such that the total time to fill the main hoist water bags from 0-100% is no longer than four (4) hours. Use basket strainers that are approved by the pump manufacturer on the pump suction.
c. Check water bags, hoses, valves, and other associated equipment for leaks prior to using them on-site. Replace leaking equipment so that the volume of spilled water is minimized.
d. The river water at Gavins Point Dam contains invasive species. It is the contractor's responsibility to clean all water bag and test equipment after the completion of testing to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species to other water bodies.
3.7.4 Solid Media Requirements
If solid media is used as the test weight, observe the following requirements:
a. Solid media must be able to be stacked in under four hours (i.e.
for each iteration of load testing, assembly of the solid media for testing must not require more than 4 hours).
b. The test weights must be designed to be stacked on the intake deck without being suspended by a crane.
SECTION 41 22 13.71 26 Page 18
c. Stacking of the solid media test weights must not damage the intake deck or exceed intake deck load limits in any configuration.
3.7.5 Test Weight Plan
Prepare and submit a Test Weight Plan that contains the following:
a. Type of test weight.
b. Test weight handling and setup procedure, including but not limited to sequence of operations and methods of keeping the load stable. In general, the intake deck is designed for a live load of 1000 psf, and most hatch covers are designed for AASHTO HS20 truck loads. A load plan must be submitted for heavy equipment and for test weights for approval showing dimensioned and labeled anticipated loads and equipment to be used during the load test for government approval.
c. Detailed drawings showing test weight configuration with the crane, intake deck, and other features shown on the drawings. Show details of lifting beams, shackles, slings, and related equipment. If water weights are used, show the configuration of the fill and drain system, and deck protection measures. Lifting devices must be used in accordance with their design; for instance, if a lifting beam is designed to have the middle waterbags filled first and the end waterbags filled last due to the angle at which the bags hang from the lifting beam ears, that order of water bag filling must be observed.
d. Detailed procedure for how the load applied to the crane will be measured and verified.
e. Documentation for any below the hook lifting devices as required.
f. Copies of up-to-date calibration certificates for any instrumentation that is going to be used.
