MECHANICAL SUPERVISOR FOR EOT (ELECTRIC OVERHEAD TRAVELING) CRANES

DESCRIPTION

According to what was foreseen during the design phase, he guarantees the correctness of erection execution by the schedule. He should be able to find criticality that could compromise the normal pace of work, trying to anticipate and resolve those problems that could arise during the commissioning of the equipment and support contractors and final customers for proper and safe installation, especially considering the involvement of heavy lifting operations. To do this, he should review the project documentation and interact with NITCO’s technical office, and, in case of modifications compared with the engineering; he should produce technical offices the “as built” documentation to allow the Technical Offices to merge the engineering with what is done at the site.

Typical equipment to be installed and commissioned are:

– Jib Cranes, EOT, Scrapyard, Gantry Cranes, Automatic Cranes for scrap, liquid steel, finished and semi-finished products for steel factories – Cranes capacity 5 – 450 tons

– Manual and electric hoists

– Harbor Special Cranes

On “turnkey ” projects or projects where NITCO is also directly supplying the erection activities (through a third-party contractor), the mechanical supervisor coordinates directly with the worker crews (interacting only with their supervisors/foreman) for the correct execution of erection works or technical assistance.

Whenever contractual commitments with the customer are limited to the advisory service, the Advisor will only verify the correctness of executed activities, notifying the NITCO site manager of any criticality that could compromise the targets given by the erection schedule foreseen by the contract.
