Tower Crane Dismantling Method Statement

Tower Crane Dismantling Method Statement is a critical safety document that outlines the step-by-step procedure for decommissioning a tower crane. It ensures that the sequence follows manufacturer guidelines to maintain structural balance and worker safety. 1. Preliminary Preparations

Spill Containment: Protocols for managing hydraulic fluids or other environmental hazards. Conclusion tower crane dismantling method statement

5. PRE-DISMANTLING PREPARATION

Secure a radius around the crane to prevent unauthorized entry. This may require road closures or nighttime work. Weather Monitoring: Maximum wind speed for dismantling is typically 20 mph (9 MHz) , though manufacturer specs take precedence. Tower Crane Dismantling Method Statement is a critical

15. Inspections and documentation

  • Certificates for lifting gear, crane inspection reports, mobile crane setup checklists.
  • Permits to work, lift plans, RAMS and toolbox talk attendance sheets.
  • Record of weather checks and daily briefings.
  • Completion checklist and handover certificate on job completion.

The following quality control measures will be implemented during the dismantling work: The following quality control measures will be implemented

6. Risk Assessment Highlights (High-Risk Activities)

| Activity | Hazard | Control Measure | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Working at height | Fall >10m | Double lanyard harness, static line, scaffold platform if needed. | | Lifting operations | Crane collapse | Lift plan, certified rigging, no side loading. | | Counterweight removal | Crushing | Stay out of line of fire, use tag lines, never walk under suspended load. | | Weather | Swing/sudden gust | Stop work if wind exceeds manufacturer limit (usually 20 mph). | | Electrics | Arc flash/short | Lock-out-tag-out (LOTO) before cutting any cables. |

8. Site preparation

  1. Undertake ground bearing capacity check where mobile crane outrigger loads will be placed; install crane mats as required.
  2. Establish exclusion zones and pedestrian segregation (minimum radius per lift plan).
  3. Temporary access and working platforms installed; remove loose debris from area.
  4. Check weather forecast; do not commence if wind exceeds limits.
  5. Confirm all permits and inspections completed.
  6. Utility sweep to locate overhead power lines and underground services.
