1 Introduction
3 ERECTING OPERATIONS
3.1 CONDITIONS FOR LIFTING
The site lifting area is to be fully clear to allow the lifting operations to take place in a
safe and professional manner, without risk to those executing the operations and
others not directly involved with the lifting operations. All personnel not directly
concerned with the rigging, lifting and installation of the CC1800 components must
remain outside the barricaded working area.
The assembly of the CC1800 will be the responsibility of the Orascom Superintendent he
will be in charge of directing the crane maneuvers and installation of the crane components.
The riggers will carry out all slinging operations under the direction of the Orascom
Superintendent.
All personnel involved in the rigging operation shall wear personal protective equipment as
per site regulations and Orascom Safety Policy.

3.5.2 Lifting supervisor
The crane operator ensures that all crane segments are checked and ready to execute the
task. The crane operator strictly follows the instructions of the supervisor and maintains
communication.
3.5.4 Riggers
The riggers check, attach and release rigging tackle. Besides that, the riggers can be the
extra eyes for the lifting supervisor and monitor clearances to obstacles and verify crane
operations.

3.7 Communications
Communications between Orascom supervisor and operators on site will be verbal; face
to face or by mobile phone.
4 ERECTING PROCEDURE FOR CC-1800
The following procedure is a guideline for the assembly of the CC-1800. The Orascom
Superintendent will be responsible for the assembly of the CC-1800 and has the authority to modify
the procedure order and make field changes as necessary as long as the site’s safety regulations and
the manufacturer’s recommendations are followed and the engineered lifting limitations are not
exceeded.
The assembly of the CC-1800 crawler crane will be done in an open and leveled area at
the jobsite near to the lift-off positions. The ground must be fairly leveled and
compacted. After the assembly operations, the crane will travel to the required lift-off
positions. The length of the area required for assembly operations will depend mainly on
the boom length of the crane. The assembly area will be cordoned off and only Orascom
personnel will be allowed to work inside this restricted area.
The Superstructure will be delivered to the site using by a lowbed trailer (Wooden mats
will be positioned underneath the outrigger to spread the load.
4.3 Crawlers assembly
Once the Superstructure has been delivered, the crawlers can be installed. This will be
done with an assist crane.
4.4 Installing Superstructure counterweight
Set the A frame towards the position of the gantry. Then place the Superstructure
counterweight support base plates and install counterweights on the ground as suitable
for the gantry on the rear of the Carbody to install to the superstructure. Crawl the
crane backwards to approximately 70mm close to the counterweights. Connect the
gantry guy lines to the counterweight hanger using suitable pins. Extend and retract the
cylinders as suitable for installing the counterweights. Operate the remote control to
lift the counterweights. Install the gantry fixing points.

4.5 ASSEMBLY OF MAIN BOOM
The main boom will now be assembled directly in front position of the basic
machine, by using assist crane, the boom sections will be assembled according to
rigging manual on the ground.
The CC-1800 will commence to raise the main boom until the boom head lifts clear.
The hook block will be positioned under the boom head. The main hoist wires will
then be reeved to the hook block. All limits will be connected (Einzieh readings;
overload warnings; anti- two blocking device; etc.).

5 Weather conditions
In general the operation shall not proceed unless a weather report forecasting suitable conditions
for a minimum of twenty-four hours or three times the operation period whichever is the
greatest, has been received. Prior to the start of the operation, the Client will be consulted
regarding the decision whether to proceed with the operation or to postpone it due to weather
conditions or other restrictions. A maximum wind criteria for starting the operation is
proposed to be Wind- force 5 (Beaufort) and decreasing.
