2.2. Utilization Charts and Resource Scheduling

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the impact of high wind velocity on crane operations?

   Hint

   Think about the safety measures involved.

2. 2.

   Define rolling resistance.

   Hint

   Consider the terrain’s influence on movement.

3. 3.

   What is the maximum wind speed for safe crane operations?

   • 30 km/h
   • 50 km/h
   • 100 km/h

   Hint

   Recall the guidelines discussed.

4. 4.

   True or False: Crawler-mounted machines are less effective in muddy conditions compared to wheeled ones.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the traction capabilities of different machines.

5. 5.

   Analyze a scenario where heavy rainfall leads to muddy conditions. Recommend machinery choices and justify your selections.

   Hint

   Think about traction and terrain performance.

6. 6.

   Design a detailed utilization chart for XXX construction project that requires cranes and dump trucks. Explain your approach.

   Hint

   Consider overlap and busy schedules when planning.
