Tower Crane Electrical And Mechanical Inspection

The Ministry of Labour has placed a great deal of emphasis on the electrical and mechanical problems that plague Ontario's aging fleet of tower cranes. While the Regulations are (more) clear on the need for structural inspection, the requirement to inspect the health of the electrical controls and critical mechanical components (brakes, gearboxes, bearings, reeving systems, etc.) is often left to the Operator on a quick visual inspection.
The MOL tasked Professional Engineers Ontario to come up with a more comprehensive Standard for the inspection of tower cranes. This Standard is currently in development:

PEO Standard For Tower Crane Inspection

CCP Engineering can put together a comprehensive tower crane inspection plan or just add an electrical/mechanical inspection component to your existing plan.

I never knew that the Ministry of Labour has placed a great deal of emphasis on the electrical and mechanical problems that plague Ontario's aging fleet of tower cranes. I never thought that it would be like this, it is really a good article. Thank you for the information about fea services.

Thank you for mentioning that Ontario's outdated fleet of tower cranes has several electrical and mechanical issues, on which the Ministry of Labour has focused a lot of attention. My father needs to construct his tower for commercial purposes. I'll advise him to hire a crane and an operator with experience.
