Resistance to Lifting Equipment Damage
In safety-critical industries, lifting equipment must be capable of withstanding exceptional loading conditions to ensure the safety of personnel, protect facilities, and maintain operational continuity.
These studies are particularly relevant to the nuclear, chemical, metallurgical, defence, and port infrastructure sectors.
What is an extreme event?
An extreme event is an accidental or exceptional load that may compromise the integrity of lifting equipment. Depending on the operating environment, this may include earthquakes, explosions, tornadoes, or a combination of several of these events.
Why perform this type of assessment?
The purpose of the assessment is to verify that the lifting equipment maintains safe performance under these extreme conditions. Such studies help identify critical areas, validate the existing design, and determine any reinforcement or design modifications that may be required.
