The Importance of Experienced Crane Operators in Midland, TX

Crane operations play a critical role in the construction, energy, and industrial sectors in Midland, TX. As one of the most vital tools for lifting and moving heavy materials, cranes require highly skilled operators to ensure safety, efficiency, and precision on job sites. The role of an experienced crane operator cannot be overstated, especially in a region like Midland, where industries such as oil and gas, wind energy, and infrastructure development are constantly evolving.

In this article, we’ll explore the importance of experienced crane operators in Midland, focusing on their essential role in maintaining safety, operational efficiency, and project success.

1. Ensuring Safety on Job Sites

Safety is the top priority in any crane operation, and experienced operators play a pivotal role in preventing accidents. Cranes, due to their size and complexity, pose significant risks if not operated correctly. A slight error in judgment or mishandling of equipment can lead to disastrous consequences, including injuries, fatalities, and damage to property.

Experienced crane operators are trained to anticipate potential hazards, assess risks, and operate cranes safely in various environments. In Midland, where extreme weather conditions such as high winds and intense heat are common, experienced operators can make informed decisions about when to halt operations or adjust crane configurations to ensure safe lifting.

Furthermore, these professionals are well-versed in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, which are essential for reducing the risk of workplace incidents. Their knowledge of safety protocols, rigging practices, and emergency procedures enables them to create a secure working environment for everyone on the site.

2. Operational Efficiency and Precision

The ability to move heavy loads with precision and efficiency is key to the success of any project involving cranes. Experienced operators can execute complex lifts with minimal downtime, ensuring that projects stay on schedule. They have the skills to maneuver large and heavy objects in tight or restricted spaces, which is particularly important in construction or industrial sites where precision is critical.

In Midland’s oil fields and energy sector, where large equipment and machinery need to be transported or installed, experienced crane operators ensure that these tasks are completed accurately. A less experienced operator may struggle with complex lifts, leading to wasted time, increased labor costs, and even damage to the equipment being moved.

An experienced operator’s understanding of load dynamics, crane capabilities, and site conditions enables them to complete lifts safely and efficiently. This precision is essential for avoiding costly mistakes and keeping projects within budget.

3. Adapting to Challenging Environments

Midland, TX, is known for its challenging terrain, varying weather conditions, and high winds, all of which can complicate crane operations. Experienced crane operators are adept at adapting to these factors, using their knowledge and skills to make critical decisions on-site.

For example, windy conditions can make lifting operations dangerous, particularly when lifting heavy or large loads that have a high surface area. An experienced operator will know how to adjust the crane’s speed, boom angle, and load handling techniques to compensate for the wind, ensuring that the load remains stable and safe during the lift.

They also understand the unique demands of working in environments like oil fields or construction sites, where the ground may be uneven, or the space is restricted. Experienced operators can adjust their equipment settings and lifting techniques to handle these challenges, ensuring that the crane operates smoothly and safely despite adverse conditions.

4. Compliance with Regulations and Industry Standards

Crane operations are heavily regulated, and compliance with industry standards is crucial to ensuring both safety and legal responsibility. Experienced crane operators are familiar with these regulations, including OSHA standards, local safety guidelines, and manufacturer instructions for crane usage.

In Midland, where industries like oil and gas are highly regulated, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations is essential. An experienced crane operator can help companies avoid costly fines, legal disputes, and project delays by adhering to all necessary safety protocols and regulations.

Moreover, they understand the importance of conducting daily equipment inspections, reporting any issues, and ensuring that the crane is in top working condition before beginning operations. This level of diligence helps to prevent equipment failure and prolongs the lifespan of the machinery.

5. Cost-Effectiveness and Productivity

Hiring experienced crane operators is a long-term investment that pays off in terms of cost savings and productivity. Less experienced operators may require more time to complete a lift, make mistakes that cause delays, or even damage equipment. In contrast, experienced operators can get the job done quickly and safely, minimizing downtime and reducing the likelihood of costly errors.

In an industry where time equals money, having an operator who can work efficiently and avoid delays can save companies significant amounts of money. Experienced operators know how to manage complex tasks, work around obstacles, and make informed decisions that improve the overall productivity of a project.

6. Improved Team Coordination

Crane operations involve more than just the crane operator; it requires coordination between riggers, signal persons, and ground workers. An experienced crane operator knows how to communicate effectively with other team members, ensuring that everyone is on the same page throughout the lifting process.

They understand the importance of following standard hand signals, maintaining clear radio communication, and coordinating with riggers to ensure that the load is properly secured and lifted. This level of coordination reduces the risk of accidents and ensures that the job is done efficiently.

7. Handling Specialized Equipment and Lifts

Many projects in Midland involve specialized equipment, such as oil rig components, wind turbine parts, or large construction materials. These require specialized lifting techniques that only an experienced crane operator can handle.

Whether it's assembling a wind turbine tower or placing a drilling rig, experienced operators are equipped with the knowledge and skill set required to handle non-standard lifts. They know how to read and interpret load charts, understand the nuances of different crane models, and can make quick adjustments to accommodate the specific needs of the lift.

Conclusion

The importance of experienced crane operators in Midland, TX, cannot be overstated. They are the backbone of safe, efficient, and compliant crane operations, ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget. From maintaining safety standards to improving productivity and navigating challenging environments, experienced crane operators bring immense value to any job site.

Whether you are working on a construction project, oil field development, or infrastructure upgrade, hiring an experienced crane operator is a crucial step in ensuring success. By choosing operators with the right credentials, experience, and knowledge, you can protect your investment, reduce risks, and enhance the overall efficiency of your operations.

Operation Nestled Dragon

Even before the passage of its iconic Transport Act 1947, the first Attlee ministry had been laying the groundwork for what we would today call a strategic steam reserve. Operation Nestled Dragon, which went into effect as early as December 1945, called for “at least 4,000” steam locomotives to be stored and kept in constant readiness in the event of “any cataclysm which could strain supply.” This was a somewhat arbitrary number; the LMS alone had 8,000 locomotives on the eve of Nationalization. It was believed that a majority of the country’s engines would survive attack during a wartime scenario, the most likely reason to activate the reserve at the time. 4,000 engines kept as a backup to unscathed stock was deemed sufficient. (It has to be said there were no strategic reserves of coaches or trucks, whether planned or even merely discussed!)

These engines and the necessary facilities would be dispersed as needed throughout the country. Bigger towns would have more engines and more MPDs (motive power depots) allocated to them, London having the most. The number of engines kept in a single “strategic MPD” was always limited to 20. In this way, an attack such as an aerial bombardment would be less likely to take out a population center’s entire locomotive stud at once.

To “activate” the reserve, the Minister of Transport was required to approach the Prime Minister and his Cabinet, and a vote be held on the matter.

Strategic MPDs could be crude or elaborate. By design they were severed from the nearest railway, so that no tracks were visible for any overcurious trespasser, potential spies or reconnaissance aircraft to follow. Every MPD had to be able to have these missing rails laid back in “within or under three hours” if called upon. Often, abandoned mines and tunnels were used and their insides fitted out. These ‘naturally-occurring’ locations were codenamed “dragon’s lairs.” Other times a location had to be built from scratch; these artificial MPDs were codenamed “rabbitholes.” Always was there emphasis on keeping the MPDs dry, ventilated and fireproof. Each MPD needed a turntable, a reliable water supply, coal bunkers, storage space for rails, sleepers, a small number of spare parts, adequate headroom and an overhead crane for heavy repairs like boiler swaps, and of course bunks for crews should the reserve be activated and they be based there. Otherwise bunkrooms were vacant, although men on duty for maintenance of stock and depots did find use for them during their shifts.

There was little methodology in place for which engine classes were preferred for the reserve. Great Western engines were less favored as they were built to run on high-quality South Welsh coal, and it was assumed the quality of coal sourced during a crisis would be poor. In any event however, some still “found their way in.” In general however, Eastern, Midland and ex-WD locos formed the majority of the workforce. Every engine belonging to the various military railways such as that at Longmoor were considered part of the reserve too, so it could be said that several pieces of the reserve’s stock were out in the open all along. Also joining their ranks as they came about were BR Standard classes, some built specifically for the reserve. These had neither BR nor serial numbers, being built “off the books.”

At first, engines reserved were simply stored and maintained in the livery they wore at the time of their “reassignment.” As time went on, (and their maintainers became bored,) a semi-official livery of black with white and navy blue stripes was settled upon and applied, one engine at a time. Quickly a crest for the Strategic Reserve was designed by one anonymous artistic crewman, and the reserve’s motto agreed: “Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit,” a superstitious British phrase.

Attlee and Churchill were both said to have toured a strategic MPD at least once. “Here we are in the belly of the beast. You lot have done some splendid work; Britain thanks you,” Attlee had said on his visit. “Men will do anything to play trains away from the wife without interrogation,” Churchill remarked on his, perhaps half in jest.

Thus was the system. As steam on the public or “civilian” British Railways was phased out, further freshly withdrawn engines were added to the reserve stocklist. Much speculation was made as to why coal bunkers and hoppers and water towers continued to be maintained even as the steam engines finally vanished from the national network in August 1968. This was explained away as infrastructure left in place for railtours by preserved engines, and in hindsight must have sounded ridiculous.

As generations of enginemen retired, they had to pass on their skills to the fresh blood. The years then went by without significant cause for alarm. The closest the reserve came to being activated was at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis in late October 1962; declassified materials confirm that as many as half of the reserve was in full steam awaiting the call, and track gangs were ready and waiting to lay in rails. The crisis ebbed of course, and by the second week of November, the number of engines idle was back to “Normal.”

Margaret Thatcher’s Government planned to shut the program down, but this was averted… just. John Major however couldn’t be dissuaded. Privatization was in full swing, and the Soviet Union had dissolved itself. The reserve suddenly seemed very redundant, (but per its own 1945 definition, not completely,) and the winding down of it all began. On the 1st of December 1998, some 53 years after the beginning of Operation Nestled Dragon, all 4,855 locomotives and their associated depots and crews were demobilized by the Blair ministry and most of the reserve’s documentation declassified. Everything became public knowledge, including the engines themselves, quite literally overnight.

At once, the locos and their facilities were up for auction. Dozens of Strategic MPDs were made into living museums demonstrating how the reserve worked. Many of the engines belonged to classes otherwise thought extinct, such as the LNER Thompson L1s and the LMS Garratts, and here were surviving specimens being pulled out of the metaphorical wardrobe like nothing. The British preservation scene was in a matter of hours awash in perfectly functional engines no one expected to still exist, which coupled together in a line were longer than most if not all of the railways themselves! Several also were sold abroad to the United States and Canada.

The public couldn’t be blamed for this all being such a shock. They hadn’t been prepared.

Their predecessors however certainly were.

Sir Frederick Henry Royce, 1st Baronet, was born on March 27, 1863. He was an English engineer famous for his designs of car and aeroplane engines with a reputation for reliability and longevity. With Charles Rolls (1877 – 1910) and Claude Johnson (1864 – 1926), he founded Rolls-Royce.

Rolls-Royce initially focused on large 40-50 horsepower motor cars, the Silver Ghost and its successors. Royce produced his first aero engine shortly after the outbreak of the First World War and aircraft engines became Rolls-Royce's principal product.

Royce's health broke down in 1911 and he was persuaded to leave his factory in the Midlands at Derby and, taking a team of designers, move to the south of England spending winters in the south of France. He died at his home in Sussex in the spring of 1933.

Following a decline in trade after the Second Boer War, and the arrival of increasing competition by cranes and dynamos from Germany and the United States, Royce began considering the motor car as a potential new product for the company. With his fascination for all things mechanical he became increasingly focused on motor cars and bought first, in 1901, a small De Dion and in 1902 or 1903 a 1901 model two cylinder Decauville. This did not meet his high standards and so he first improved it and then decided to manufacture a car of his own which he did in a corner of the workshop in 1904.

Two more cars were made. Of the three, which were called Royce and had two cylinder engines, one was given to Ernest Claremont and the other sold to one of the other directors, Henry Edmunds. Edmunds was a friend of Charles Rolls who had a car showroom in London selling imported models and showed him his car and arranged the historic meeting between Rolls and Royce at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, on 4 May 1904. In spite of his preference for three or four cylinder cars, Rolls was impressed with the two-cylinder Royce 10 and in a subsequent agreement of 23 December 1904 agreed to take all the cars Royce could make. These would be of two, three, four and six cylinders and would be badged as Rolls-Royce.

The first Rolls-Royce car, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp, was unveiled at the Paris Salon in December 1904. In 1906 Rolls and Royce formalised their partnership by creating Rolls-Royce Limited, with Royce appointed chief engineer and works director on a salary of £1,250 per annum plus 4% of the profits in excess of £10,000. Royce thus provided the technical expertise to complement Rolls' financial backing and business acumen. By 1907 the company was winning awards for the engineering reliability of its cars.

The Rolls-Royce Eagle was the first aircraft engine to be developed by Rolls-Royce Limited. It was introduced in 1915 to meet British military requirements during the First World War and proved to be one of only two aero engines made by the Allies that was neither a production nor a technical failure.

Royce & Company remained in business as a separate company making cranes until 1932 when it was bought by Herbert Morris of Loughborough. The last Royce-designed crane was built in 1964.

The partnership ended when Rolls died in 1910 in a crash of his Wright Flyer aircraft.

Royce had always worked hard and was renowned for never eating proper meals which resulted in his being taken ill first in 1902 and again in 1911. Ill health had forced his move away from Derby in 1912. In the same year, he had a major operation in London and was given only a few months to live by the doctors. In spite of this he returned to work but was prevented from visiting the factory, which had moved to larger premises, fitted out to detailed plans by Royce, in Derby in 1908. He insisted on checking all new designs and engineers and draughtsmen had to take the drawings to be personally checked by him, a daunting prospect with his well-known perfectionism. He had a villa built at Le Canadel in the south of France and a further home at Crowborough, East Sussex. In 1917, Royce moved to the village of West Wittering, West Sussex.

In October 1928, he began design of the "R" engine while walking with some of his leading engineers on the beach at West Wittering, sketching ideas in the sand. Less than a year later, the "R” engine, designed in his studio in the village, set a new world air speed record of 357.7 miles per hour and won the Schneider Trophy of 1929. When the Ramsay MacDonald government decided not to finance the next attempt in 1931, Lucy, Lady Houston, felt that Britain must not be left out of this contest and sent a telegram to the Prime Minister stating that she would guarantee £100,000, if necessary, towards the cost leading the Government to reverse their previous decision. The result was that Royce found that the "R" could be made to produce more power and the Supermarine S.6B seaplane won the Trophy at 340.08 mph (547.31 km/h) on 13 September 1931. Later that month on 29 September, the same aircraft with an improved engine flew at 407.5 mph (655.8 km/h), becoming the first craft to fly at over 400 mph (640 km/h) and breaking the world's speed record.

Henry Royce married Minnie Punt in 1893 and they set up home together in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, and were joined by his mother, who lived nearby until her death in 1904, and Minnie's niece, Violet. The Royces moved to a newly built house in Knutsford, Cheshire in 1898. The couple separated in 1912.

Royce, who lived by the motto "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble", was awarded the OBE in 1918, and was created a baronet, of Seaton in the County of Rutland, in 1930 for his services to British Aviation. He had no children and the baronetcy became extinct on his death.

After he fell ill, Royce was looked after by a nurse, Miss Ethel Aubin for twenty years (after his death she married G.H.R. Tildesley, Royce's solicitor). He died at his house Elmstead in West Wittering on 22 April 1933. His cremated remains were initially buried under his statue at the Rolls-Royce works in Derby, but in 1937 his urn was removed to the parish church of Alwalton, his birthplace.

In 1962, a memorial window dedicated to his memory was unveiled in Westminster Abbey. The window is one of a series designed by Ninian Comper dedicated to the memory of eminent engineers. He is also commemorated in Royce Hall, student accommodation at Loughborough University, and until 2011 at one of Peterborough's Queensgate shopping centre car parks. The Sir Henry Royce Suite, a business suite, is named after him at the Peterborough Marriott Hotel in the Alwalton business park.

JupiterMLP Receives Funding To Advance Construction of Permian-to-Gulf Coast Crude Oil Pipeline

Company to build the 680-mile crude oil Jupiter Pipeline from West Texas to Brownsville, Texas

Open season for Jupiter pipeline project will be launched in November.

In addition to the Jupiter Pipeline, the company is constructing a crude upgrading, processing and export terminal capable of loading VLCCs on approximately 270 acres of land located in the Port of Brownsville, Texas .

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–JupiterMLP, LLC (Jupiter), a privately held midstream company that provides crude oil producers and gas plants with logistics and offtake solutions, today announced that it has secured a funding commitment from Charon System Advisors sufficient to build the 1,000,000 barrel per day capacity Jupiter Pipeline from the Permian Basin to the Port of Brownsville, Texas.

Expected to be operational in late third quarter of 2020 with origination points near Midland, Pecos and Crane, Texas and offtake points near Three Rivers, Texas, Jupiter has completed engineering, design, and right-of-way planning for the pipeline. As designed, it will be the only pipeline out of the Permian Basin that can access all three deep water ports in Texas (Houston, Corpus Christi and Brownsville) and will have direct access to a fully capable VLCC loading facility.

Charon’s investment comes on the heels of Jupiter announcing in May that it had secured all initial governmental and regulatory permits to load/unload vessels of up to 65,000 deadweight tons or Panamax sized vessels at the Jupiter Export Terminal. Jupiter had already secured permits to construct more than 2.8 million barrels of storage in Brownsville and has additional permits on file to increase its storage footprint to more than 6 million barrels, of the potential 10 million barrels of storage capacity. The company is also in the final stages of securing a permit to construct a 170,000 barrel per day processing facility which is designed to process light U.S. Shale crude into on-spec U.S. gasoline and ultralow sulphur diesel.

Albert Johnson, president of Jupiter Pipeline LLC, commented: “With the backing by Charon and the firm commitments that Jupiter has already secured on the Jupiter Pipeline, we will be holding an open season for the remaining capacity in November.”

Tom Ramsey, CEO of Jupiter, added: “From our first purchase crude oil business and Jupiter Transport trucking company, to construction of the Jupiter pipeline, its connections in the Permian and the ability to load VLCCs offshore near Brownsville, we are executing on our long-term, global strategy of connecting the ‘Wellhead to the World’.”

Adrayll Askew, Partner of Charon, added: “We are excited about our investment in the Jupiter pipeline along with Jupiter management and our investment partners. We are fully committed to Jupiter’s long term global strategy that focuses on integration of the midstream supply chain and distribution of Permian crude oil to the world.”

Secondment aids in major upgrade at live hospital site

When it comes to settings that are considered ‘live’ such as in healthcare, being at the heart of the process can only aid in a smooth operation. These complex projects often require a different approach to management, which is where seconding roles can be beneficial for both the client and consultant. Josh Sandbach, project manager at Pick Everard, discusses the benefits of this approach having delivered major works for the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL) through a full-time secondment.

Allowing the project manager to be fully embedded in the organisation means they are more available to jump in at short notice, have a greater awareness of the project by being able to communicate directly with the client and key stakeholders, can share expert knowledge to drive the project forward and allow for access to further input from colleagues on the secondee’s side.

Pick Everard recently successfully completed work on the £15m relocation of the East Midlands Congenital Heart Centre (EMCHC) from Glenfield Hospital to its new city centre home at Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI).

The relocation was carried out across three phases of construction – a new-build extension to the Kensington Building being the largest, followed by a new cardiac ward on the first floor of the existing Kensington Building and finally, installation of the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU), brand-new to the fifth floor.

Due to the complexities of working on a live acute hospital site and the number of stakeholders that require regular engagement, the decision was made to fully second the project management.

Josh explained: “With the existing Kensington Building being at the centre of the new heart facility, it was necessary to relocate the services previously housed here while work was carried out. To achieve this, we worked to refurbish two existing clinical areas on the LRI estate to re-house the maternity department and the gynaecology assessment and outpatients’ services.”

Seconding Josh meant he was available consistently throughout the project to provide on-site project management, contract administration and procurement advice. Initially, the secondment was for delivering the refurbishment and then for the EMCHC relocation, with the role becoming full-time after an initial three-month period.

He said: “Working closely with all the stakeholders also ensured a smoother project in terms of handling any issues that came up and it has also helped to develop my knowledge and understanding of clinical needs while undertaking design and construction works – especially in light of COVID-19.”

Working around patients

The main consideration of the secondment was working around a construction site that also needed to care for patients. Detailed planning was crucial due to the profound consequences that could arise.

During the creation of the PICU on the fifth floor, due to its location directly above the delivery suite, Josh also had to arrange access to replace and renew drainage connections. As well as the obvious technicalities around this work, the team also had to work around the nature of women going into labour, which is always unpredictable on when and how quickly things will progress. However, through close work with the matron, Josh and the team were able to agree a programme of works with minimal disruption.

A new air handling unit (AHU) and chiller was also craned in onto the roof of the Kensington Building for the PICU, which required a partial road closure. This meant that traffic had to be redirected to ensure those in labour could still get to the reception of the building quickly and easily. While this work was in motion, Josh was on site with a colleague as Trust representatives to support this and help direct patients to where they needed to go.

Similarly, for another project as part of the gynaecology department project, a new AHU had to be craned into a courtyard. The position of that crane meant the main entrance for the maternity building – which is where neonatal transfers happen – had to close for a short time. To overcome the associated risks, Josh collaborated with the clinical and estates teams to agree the crane lift from 5am on a Saturday morning, with Josh being present on site to manage the process from a Trust perspective.

Josh said: “Overall, being on secondment was integral to the delivery of this work. I was able to form much closer working relationships and work in true collaboration with the teams needed to tackle any given situation throughout the project. Being closer to the clinical team and services and being on the ground to have that true understanding of the impact of any construction work was completely invaluable to me and how made sure we kept the patients at the heart of every decision made for the construction work.”

Pick Everard provided principal designer services for all works, and electrical and mechanical design services for the PICU and cardiac ward. These services were also provided for work on the Kensington Building infrastructure, including phased strip-out, refurbishment and replacement of various features.

Hill House Box Construction

Construction Start for Hill House Box in Helensburgh

FIRST STEEL ERECTED AS WORK CONTINUES ON ‘BOX’ AT THE HILL HOUSE IN HELENSBURGH

The first major milestone has been reached in the pioneering project designed to save The Hill House in Helensburgh.

Robertson is currently constructing a unique mesh ‘box’ around the building, which is regarded as Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s domestic masterpiece.

The National Trust for Scotland has embarked on the ambitious project in an effort to protect the building from the elements ahead of a programme of extensive refurbishment to protect it for future generations.

Allan Cameron, project manager for Robertson with Richard Williams:

And now, the first of the steel mesh frame has been erected around the building – with a crane weighing 100 tonnes arriving on site this week to carry out the heavy lifting.

Ed Parry, Managing Director, Robertson Central West, said: “Since starting on site in November last year we have been laying the groundwork for this important milestone. It was an exciting moment for everyone involved in the project to see the crane arrive and for the first part of the steel structure to be put in place.

“This is a hugely important project and one that is genuinely unique – we look forward to keeping the public up to date with continued progress and to delivering on the National Trust for Scotland’s vision for The Hill House.”

The National Trust for Scotland launched a ‘Box The Hill House’ campaign in February 2018, which aimed to raise £1.5m towards the total cost of the ‘Box’ – to date, more than £1.2m has been raised, with fundraising continuing.

CGI of the ‘Box’ at the Hill House:

Richard Williams, General Manager for Glasgow and West at the National Trust for Scotland, said: “Seeing the box take shape is an extraordinary feeling and a significant milestone in our charity’s rescue effort to save The Hill House.

“After years of planning we can really start to see the scale of what we’re doing here, for the love of the building and where it stands in the history of Scottish architecture.”

The Hill House project, being delivered by Robertson, was procured through Scape Venture, a collaborative procurement consultancy and construction route, which supports public/private partnerships and the charity sector achieve best value in their programmes of work.

Mark Robinson, Scape Group chief executive, said: ‘It is great to see another milestone reached at this innovative project to conserve and protect The Hill House.

“Scape Venture is specifically designed to promote efficient outcomes for charities, and by using our framework the National Trust Scotland is ensuring it receives the best value for money. Our collaborative and transparent approach facilitates success for every project, and is supported by an extensive local supply chain which will support the local economic development agenda beyond the build process.”

Robertson has started building a unique ‘Box’ which will envelop the famous building in Helensburgh to protect it from the elements as part of the National Trust for Scotland’s ambitious restoration plans.

A truly unique construction project, it will see an innovative chainmail structure erected around the building over the course of the next six months. Designed by architects Carmody Groarke, the mesh pavilion will help the Hill House dry out after more than a century of absorbing rain, allowing further conservation work to be carried out on the famous house.

Once work on the ‘Box’ is completed in spring next year, it will then open to visitors who will be able to use the raised walkways to see the Hill House from a new angle while offering views over the Clyde estuary.

The Hill House was built in 1904 for publisher Walter Blackie – and to mark the start of the construction of the ‘Box’, representatives of the National Trust for Scotland and Robertson were joined by his granddaughter, Ruth Currie.

Construction work is now underway at the Hill House: From L-R: Andy Groarke, architect, Carmody Groarke; Fritha Costain, Business Manager, Glasgow and West, National Trust for Scotland; Peter Porteous, Business Team Leader, Scape Group; Ruth Currie, granddaughter of Walter Blackie who commissioned Hill House; Ed Parry, Managing Director, Robertson Central West; Richard Williams, General Manager, Glasgow and West, National Trust for Scotland.

Ed Parry, Managing Director, Robertson Central West, said: “It is an absolute privilege to be leading the construction of such a unique project. The Hill House is precious to us all and the ‘Box’ will play a pivotal role in allowing vital restoration work to take place.”

The National Trust for Scotland launched a ‘Box the Hill House’ campaign in February of this year, which aimed to raise £1.5m towards the total cost of the ‘Box’ – to date, more than £1.3m has been raised, with fundraising continuing.

Richard Williams, General Manager for Glasgow and West at the National Trust for Scotland, said: “Mackintosh was a pioneer and a visionary and we’re reflecting that spirit in our approach to saving his domestic masterpiece.

“This is a project that has been many, many years in the making and it is wonderful to be at the point that we’re now seeing work begin to save such a significant place. What we’re doing here is a rescue plan for the long term and will, we’re sure, protect this incredible building for future generations.”

Mark Robinson, Scape Group chief executive, said: “These careful conservation works will preserve and celebrate an important piece of our culture and history. Robertson have a strong track record of restoring heritage sites, a great example of which is the Spanish City restoration in Whitley Bay.

“By procuring the project through Scape Venture, National Trust for Scotland will benefit from time and cost certainty, with strong project performance derived from collaboration also securing value for money.”

HS2 to pioneer 3D printed graphene reinforced concrete

HS2 London tunnels contractor Skanska Costain Strabag JV is to pioneer the use on-site of 3D reinforced concrete printing.

First proof of concept trials will begin in the spring using 5 tonne computer-operated robots. These will initially be used to build part of the retaining walls for the mainline out of Euston station as well as materials stores on the project.

The cutting-edge technology, called ‘Printfrastructure’, promises to bring big environmental benefits and cost savings, if deployed more widely.

Reinforced concrete structures will be printed with internal lattice strengthening, significantly reducing the quantity of concrete required as well as cutting waste.

In a further big advance, steel reinforcement will be replaced by microscopic strands of graphene only several atoms thick running through it like stripes in a stick of rock.

Replacing rebar should help to improved site safety, offer greater construction flexibility and shorter build time.

By removing steel and simplifying the construction process, which will no longer require cranes and fewer delivery trucks, the carbon reduction could be significant.

SCS JV estimates that the process it is developing with the Midlands firm ChangeMaker 3D and materials specialist Versarien will reduce concrete used and contribute toward reducing carbon by up to 50%.

If trials are successful, 3D printing could be used for multiple structures including bridge parapets, staricases, walls, columns and station platform segments.

HS2 innovation manager Rob Cairns said: “The project SCS JV and ChangeMaker 3D are collaborating on is a fantastic demonstration of the kind of far-reaching innovations HS2 enables.

“With a build programme spanning the decade and across the country, the project is creating an ideal environment to develop technologies with the potential to transform how major infrastructure is built.”

SCS JV Temporary Works Manager, Andrew Duck, said: ”Automation enabled by Printfrastructure’s 3D reinforced concrete printing creates a factory-like environmental that delivers a high-quality product that both increases efficient use of materials, and reduces our carbon footprint.

“It is important that we give technologies such as Printfrastructure the opportunity to flourish because of the possibilities it offers the industry to make a step change in how projects are delivered.”

Safety Standards to Expect from Crane Companies in Midland, TX

Introduction Cranes play a vital role in heavy construction and industrial projects across Midland, TX. Whether lifting heavy loads on construction sites or assembling large structures, crane safety should never be compromised. Ensuring that crane companies adhere to stringent safety standards not only protects workers but also prevents costly accidents, downtime, and project delays.

This blog will explore the essential safety standards that you should expect from crane companies in Midland, including equipment inspections, certifications, safety protocols, and adherence to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.

1. Certification and Training of Operators One of the foremost safety expectations is ensuring that crane operators are properly certified and trained. According to OSHA, all crane operators must be certified by a recognized body like the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO). This certification verifies that the operator has undergone rigorous training in handling cranes, safety procedures, and recognizing potential hazards.

In addition to certification, operators should be required to participate in continuous education to stay up to date with new safety protocols and technology developments. Crane companies should provide evidence of operator certifications and ensure their personnel have knowledge of both site-specific safety conditions and general industry standards.

2. Regular and Thorough Equipment Inspections Cranes are complex pieces of machinery, and regular maintenance is crucial for their safe operation. Crane companies must implement strict inspection routines, both prior to and during the use of cranes on a job site. Daily inspections should cover critical components like hoist lines, hooks, slings, brakes, and safety devices to prevent potential hazards.

Additionally, thorough annual or semi-annual inspections by certified third-party technicians should be conducted, ensuring that all mechanical parts, hydraulics, and electrical systems are functioning properly. The frequency and detail of these inspections should be based on factors such as crane usage, age, and environmental conditions.

3. Adherence to OSHA Regulations Compliance with OSHA regulations is a non-negotiable aspect of crane safety. OSHA standards cover every aspect of crane operations, from equipment standards to operator certification and signaling protocols. Crane companies in Midland should adhere to the OSHA Cranes and Derricks in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC), which outlines safety requirements for operating cranes at construction sites.

Key OSHA regulations include requirements for ground conditions, working near power lines, proper use of load charts, and ensuring safe rigging practices. By following these guidelines, crane companies can prevent accidents, safeguard employees, and protect the public from hazards associated with crane operations.

4. Job-Specific Safety Plans and Risk Assessments Crane operations vary from one project to another, depending on factors like load weights, environmental conditions, and the complexity of the lift. Therefore, it's essential that crane companies conduct job-specific safety plans and risk assessments before starting any operation.

A comprehensive risk assessment should identify potential hazards such as weather conditions, proximity to power lines, unstable ground, or restricted workspaces. Based on this assessment, the company should create a customized safety plan that includes emergency procedures, lift planning, communication strategies, and the use of spotters or signalers.

5. Communication and Signal Protocols Effective communication is critical for safe crane operations. Crane companies should ensure that all personnel involved in the lifting operation, including riggers, signalers, and ground personnel, are trained in standard hand signals and radio protocols. According to OSHA, a qualified signal person should be present at all times during crane operations to guide the operator, especially when visibility is limited.

Clear communication between the operator and the signal person helps avoid miscommunication, which is one of the leading causes of crane accidents. Investing in technology such as two-way radios and signaling devices can further enhance safety.

6. Proper Load Management and Rigging Practices A critical aspect of crane safety is proper load management and rigging. Crane companies must ensure that loads are evenly distributed and secure before lifting. Overloading or improperly rigging a crane can lead to tipping or dropping heavy loads, causing severe damage and injury.

Riggers should be experienced and trained in selecting the right rigging equipment, such as slings and hooks, that can handle the load's weight and type. OSHA requires the use of proper load charts and that the crane is not operated beyond its maximum load capacity. Load calculations must account for dynamic forces like wind, which can destabilize a suspended load.

7. Emergency Response Preparedness Even with stringent safety measures in place, accidents can happen. That’s why crane companies should be prepared with a robust emergency response plan. This includes having trained personnel on-site who can respond to accidents, perform first aid, and contact emergency services immediately.

The company should also have procedures in place for crane breakdowns, sudden weather changes, or power failures that might affect crane operations. Quick and effective response in such situations can prevent injuries and minimize project delays.

8. Commitment to Environmental Safety In addition to worker safety, crane companies must also consider environmental safety, especially in regions like Midland, TX, where harsh weather conditions such as strong winds and storms can pose significant challenges. Crane companies should factor in local environmental conditions and adjust their operations accordingly to prevent accidents.

This could involve monitoring weather reports, using cranes with enhanced wind resistance, and avoiding operations during high winds or extreme temperatures. Additionally, ground stability should be assessed before deploying cranes to avoid incidents related to shifting soil or unstable ground.

Conclusion Safety should be a primary consideration when choosing a crane company in Midland, TX. By ensuring that the company you hire adheres to strict safety standards such as certified operators, regular equipment inspections, OSHA compliance, and proper load management, you can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and ensure the successful completion of your project.

Selecting a crane company that prioritizes safety will not only protect workers but also prevent costly delays and damage to equipment. Always ask for documentation of safety protocols, certifications, and inspection reports when hiring a crane service provider, and ensure that they are committed to maintaining a safe working environment.

What Are Landman Services in Midland and Odessa, TX

Dealing with property can be extremely challenging, especially when one does not have the required knowledge. It is natural for an individual to be surprised to know that a title company also offers landman services in Midland and Odessa, TX. The term is unfamiliar to homeowners who may be well informed about the importance of having all real estate transactions completed lawfully before shifting into a brand new home.

It suffices to know that a landman is usually hired by companies operating in the oil and gas industry and interested in either producing the all-important fuel or exploring the land for massive deposits that can be commercialized. It is the landman's onus to check the previous records to ascertain the existing rights titles and the right to the minerals in the area. A business owner or company that desires to obtain the rights for excavating and exploiting the minerals present underneath the concerned land needs to employ such a professional for negotiating the terms with the present owner.

Therefore, a landman can be described aptly as a broker who deals with all concerned parties, including a company wishing to get land's mineral rights and its existing owner.

Role of a Landman

The professional should be able to handle the following tasks:-

· Going through all courthouse documents to determine the rights of way. Drawing up agreements on behalf of the employer for leases, joint ventures as well as specific contracts required by the oil and gas industry

· A few landmen prefer to work exclusively for a particular company by helping them with title documentation for the assessment of rights

· They also secure the title related documents and update them per the regulations. Rectifying the paperwork by noting the omissions and correcting the errors helps in maintaining proper records that may be required by a court of law

· The staff engaged by an oil and gas company is gets ample support from a landman as and when required

· The geological development department may ask for assistance from a landman while exploring minerals beneath the land

· The company is likely to utilize contract staff for specialized projects. The landman often undertakes the task of assigning duties to the available personnel during the acquisition of land

· The status of rights and land acquisitions is reported to the management by a landman

· In short, a landman provides administrative support to the company by keeping all title documents updated and organized so that no need arises for having a second title search in Andrews and Crane, TX due to lack of the right documents in future

· The professionals have an additional responsibility for providing legal support to the team as well by drawing up lease agreements and monitoring and keeping a record of rent receipts of land & property documentation plus management

Handling Landman services is a complex process that requires the right kind of expertise and experience.

Duke of Lancaster by Paul Noden Along with her sister ships the TSS Duke of Rothesay and the TSS Duke of Argyll she was amongst the last passenger-only steamers built for British Railways (at that time, also a ferry operator). She was a replacement for the 1928 steamer built by the London Midland and Scottish Railway, RMS Duke of Lancaster. Built at Harland & Wolff, Belfast and completed in 1956, she was designed to operate as both a passenger ferry (primarily on the Heysham-Belfast route) and as a cruise ship. In this capacity, the Duke of Lancaster travelled to the Scottish islands and further afield to Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway and Spain. From the mid-1960s, passenger ships such as the Duke of Lancaster were gradually being superseded by car ferries. Rather than undertake the expensive option of renewing their entire fleet, British Railways instead began a part-programme of conversion. In order to maintain ferry services whilst these modifications took place, the Duke of Lancaster's duties as a cruise ship ceased. On 25 April 1970 the ship returned to service, having had her main deck rebuilt to accommodate vehicles via a door at her stern. The ship now provided space for 1,200 single-class passengers and 105 cars, with a total cabin accommodation for 400 passengers. The three ships continued on the Heysham-Belfast route until the service was withdrawn on 5 April 1975. The Duke of Lancaster was then briefly employed on the Fishguard-Rosslare crossing, before becoming the regular relief vessel on the Holyhead–Dún Laoghaire service until November 1978. The ship was then laid up at Barrow in Furness, Cumbria. The Fun Ship[edit] The Duke of Lancaster arrived in Llanerch-y-Mor, North Wales, in August 1979 to start her new life as "the Fun Ship". However, there were frequent legal battles with the local councils and the owners closed the business in 2004. They have continued to fight the case over the years and are still doing so but the ship has stood closed ever since. Despite having large amounts of its exterior paintwork covered in rust, the interior of the ship is in good condition. It was featured in the 2011 series of BBC Two's Coast. In early 2012 several local arcade game collectors made a deal with Solitaire Liverpool Ltd and were able to purchase most of the coin-operated machines left behind inside the ship at the time the Fun Ship closed. Removing the games required the use of cranes and other heavy lifting equipment. Later in 2012 a commemorative enamel badge was released by an admirer of the vessel. Only 100 badges exist and each one is individually numbered. These have since become a collectable item for fans of the vessel. https://flic.kr/p/2i4hvpo
