Heavy rigging for nuclear projects

Tatum, C B (1983) Heavy rigging for nuclear projects. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 109(1), pp. 48-60. ISSN 0733-9364

Abstract

The heavy rigging operations for setting of large components at a nuclear project are described. Industry background in the use of several types of rigging systems is first reviewed and applied to the unique requirements of the project described. The evaluation of alternatives and the detailed steps in planning and preparation are then described. The importance of interface planning and coordination of the multiple organizations involved is emphasized. Field activities in the successful completion of the rigging operation are described. Conclusions and practical applications regarding both the rigging technology and the management approaches used are presented.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
