Abstract/Summary
For several years the Construction Management Department faculty have discussed implementing a better system of lifting heavy items in the Simpson Strong-Tie Lab. Currently, student assistants and faculty use a forklift to perform heavy lifting, there are definitely more safe and efficient alternatives available. An under running single girder crane system is in the process of being built in the Simpson Strong Tie lab. A full structural analysis has been calculated assuring the crane can lift up to two tons. This crane will help students and faculty use the lab to build the tiny house as well as other projects in need of lifting heavy items. In order to facilitate this project various preconstruction services are required to get the concept from a good idea, to a viable project. The items I am responsible for are a full construction risk analysis, construction schedule, and an in depth vendor buy out analysis.
