Abstract
The Lampson Transi-Lift mobile crane is a lifting system purposely designed for construction activities related initially to nuclear power facilities. The combination of capacity, increased working hook height, and an unmatched radius to capacity ratio allowed for use of innovative construction techniques that decreased the construction schedule, increased facility integrity and construction safety, and reduced overall plant construction costs. The versatility of the Lampson Transi-Lift was immediately recognized, and it has become a mainstay of the heavy lift industry since its introduction in the late 1970s. Oil and gas, general construction, and offshore construction activities have all since benefitted from the unique capabilities of this heavy lift crane

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
