PROJECT OUTCOME
Engineering Assessment Result
The structural analysis identified overloaded elements of the trolley frame that could potentially be unsafe due to possible cracks and plastic deformation. The assessment results were used to define the required reinforcement of the trolley frame structure as part of the overall crane repair project
