Also, having the ability to create a visual representation of the planned rigging for the job that may be unique to the load type, helps to ensure that everyone from the shop to the field are on the same page. Selecting a crane on 3D lift plan is made easy with multiple options – From manual selecting a crane or using the advanced search too quickly explore available options in your cranes library based on the given criteria. Thus, putting the customer’s mind at ease - this job for Stevenson Crane was no different. In addition, a good lift plan takes out all of the guess work and identifies any potential/costly issues before the crane even arrives on site. This gives not only the Owner/GC/customer a visual aid for how a crane will look on their jobsite, but also gives the project manager from the crane company the ability to show the operator and crew where a crane (and necessary matting) will need to be setup for a successful lift. One of my favorite things about 3D Lift Plan is just how easy it is to overlay a scaled satellite image of a jobsite into the project. In some cases, after a building has been up for 100 years or longer, it must been torn down so that something new can take its place.
