When one #crane is not enough, then you can hire two, or sometimes even more in very specialised circumstances, to increase the #lifting power available.
We have a team of #experts who understand the challenges of hiring in crane for multi point lifts. We know what equipment is available on the market and how they best work together - find out more in the tip below.
In the meantime, you can also access technical papers, heavy lift tips and articles on the subject of cranes – and much more, in our free, impartial Heavy Lift Engineer magazine. Subscribe today!
To perform a safe and successful lift, the crane operator and rigger(s) must consider the crane, environmental conditions, load, sling and hitch, and the desired operation. Since unbalanced loads, exceeding the crane’s capacity, or using a defective sling can quickly result in catastrophic results, our latest blog article reviews each of the five components and their proper use and inspection.
✔ Underwater welding, also known as hyperbaric welding, is a specialized process used in marine engineering, offshore construction, and pipeline repairs. This procedure involves specific steps and considerations due to the unique underwater environment. Here's a concise overview of the underwater welding procedure:

1. Preparation:
- Site Assessment: Evaluate the welding site for water depth, visibility, current, and other environmental factors.
- Equipment Check: Ensure all welding equipment (welding machine, electrodes, cables) is suitable for underwater use and in good working condition.

- Diver Preparation: Divers must be certified for underwater welding and familiar with the specific procedures and safety protocols.
2. Welding Techniques:
- Dry Welding (Hyperbaric Welding): The welding is performed in a dry environment created by a hyperbaric chamber placed over the area to be welded. This method provides higher weld quality but is complex and costly.

- Wet Welding: The welding is performed directly in the water. While more economical and faster, it poses challenges like lower weld quality due to rapid cooling and potential hydrogen embrittlement.
3. Welding Process:
A). Surface Preparation:
- Clean the welding area to remove any marine growth, rust, or debris using underwater grinders or brushes.
- Ensure a smooth, clean surface for better weld quality.
B). Electrode Selection:
- Use specialized waterproof electrodes designed for underwater welding, typically coated with a waterproof flux.
C). Welding Procedure:
- Arc Initiation: Strike an arc to start the welding process, maintaining a consistent arc length.
- Weld Bead Control: Maintain proper bead shape and size, considering the cooling effect of water.
- Welding Techniques: Employ stringer beads or weave patterns depending on the joint configuration and material.
D). Post-Weld Inspection:
- Visually inspect the weld for defects.
- Conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) methods such as ultrasonic testing (UT) or magnetic particle inspection (MPI) to ensure weld integrity.
4. Safety Considerations:
- Electric Shock: Use low-voltage welding machines and ensure proper insulation to prevent electric shock.
- Diving Safety: Follow standard diving safety protocols, including proper decompression procedures.
- Environmental Hazards: Be aware of potential hazards like marine life, underwater currents, and debris.
5. Documentation:
- Maintain detailed records of the welding process, including the type of weld, materials used, environmental conditions, and inspection results.
Underwater welding is a specialized and challenging profession that requires a unique set of skills and expertise. This type of welding involves carrying out welding tasks in an underwater environment, typically in the construction or repair of structures such as offshore oil platforms, ships, pipelines, and dams.
One of the main challenges of underwater welding is the harsh conditions in which the work is carried out. Divers must contend with limited visibility, strong currents, varying water temperatures, and the risk of marine life encounters. In addition, the pressure at depth can be immense and requires specialized equipment to ensure the safety and efficiency of the welding process.
There are two main types of underwater welding: wet welding and dry welding. Wet welding involves carrying out the welding task directly in the water, while dry welding involves creating a sealed environment around the welding area to prevent water from entering. Both methods have their own advantages and limitations, depending on the specific requirements of the project.
Underwater welders must undergo rigorous training and certification to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their job safely and effectively. They must be proficient in both welding techniques and diving procedures, as well as have a thorough understanding of underwater construction principles.
Despite the challenges, underwater welding plays a crucial role in maintaining and repairing underwater structures that are vital to industries such as oil and gas, shipping, and infrastructure development. The work of underwater welders helps ensure the integrity and longevity of these structures, ultimately contributing to the safety and efficiency of various industries.
In conclusion, underwater welding is a demanding yet rewarding profession that requires a high level of skill, expertise, and dedication. The work of underwater welders is essential for ensuring the integrity and reliability of underwater structures, making it a vital component of various industries around the world.

How can you extend the lifespan of marine machinery and equipment?
"Just love the machinery the way you love yourselves", this was told to me by my senior Chief Engineer when I was a young 4th Engineer.
My machinery was shabby and dirty , there were leakages around. He told me, keep your machinery clean, it will take care of your career and your family.
When you keep your machinery clean, you basically look at every aspect of your machinery from leakages to vibrations everything.
Cleanliness is the first step to maintenance.
My post looks like just casual talk but it had a great impact on my life in keeping machineries in good condition all the time , increasing their life as well.
