3319.8.1 Plan for the erection, jumping, and dismantling of tower cranes.
BC § 3319.8.1
An erection, jumping, and dismantling plan for tower cranes, other than truck and crawler mounted tower cranes, shall be submitted to the department by a licensed engineer. The plan must be prepared by a licensed engineer in conjunction with a licensed rigger and must be in compliance with the manufacturer's recommendation for erection, jumping, or dismantling of the specific crane where such manufacturer's recommendations exist. The plan must be filed with the certificate of on-site inspection application as required by Section 3319.3. No erection, jumping, or dismantling of a tower crane shall take place without the prior issuance of a certificate of on-site inspection by the cranes and derricks unit. The plan shall include the following: 1. Identification of the equipment proposed to be used, including all machines proposed to be used in the erection or dismantling; 2. A detailed identification of the assemblies and components required for the erection and dismantling of the equipment; 3. Location of the equipment, sidewalk sheds (or Department of Transportation street closing permits, if applicable), surrounding buildings, protection for their roofs and the pick-up points, loads, and radius of swing of all loads. In addition, the safe load from the approved load radius chart shall be submitted for lift radius; 4. A weight list of all assemblies and components proposed to be lifted. Components are to be clearly marked with their weight painted on the assembly or stamped on metal tags attached to the assembly. The manufacturer of the tower crane shall certify the weight of assemblies and components. Alternately, in lieu of painted weight markings or metal tags, or when the manufacturer's certification is not available, the licensed engineer applicant shall certify an erection, jumping, or dismantling weight list indicating how such weights were determined; 5. The center of gravity of all asymmetrical components shall be located and shown; 6. A sequence of operation detailing the erection, jumping, and dismantling, along with the rigging materials to be used in such operations; 7. The certification of the calibration as required in Item 6 of Section 3319.8.8; and 8. Cranes or derricks located either within the lot line or on the street and used to erect, jump, or dismantle a tower crane shall be indicated. (Am.
