Crews Work Toward 2016 Deadlinefor Minnesota Vikings Stadium

Crews in Minneapolis are working diligently to meet amid-2016 deadline, as construction continues on the $1billion Minnesota Vikings stadium. The structure replaces

the outdated Metrodome, and is being built using the Terex Demag CC6800, the thirdlargest crane on record.

“It truly fits a theme that you see throughout this project,” said Jeff Anderson,executive director of communications of Minnesota Vikings Football LLC. “Youhave the largest construction project in state history that includes the world’s largestpivoting glass doors and the nation’s largest transparent ETFE roof, so it seems appro-priate that one of the world’s largest cranes is needed during the constructionprocess.”

The Terex Demag CC6800 is being used to raise the larger pieces of structural steelin the roof. The crane has a reach of 400 ft. (121.9 m) and can lift up to 1 millionpounds. Officials say the biggest challenge and safety concern when operating a craneof this size is the weather. It came to Minnesota from Pennsylvania, taking more than10 days, and was put together piece by piece by another crane. It arrived in June, andwill be on site for a total of 15 months.

“It was certainly impressive to watch from afar as 70 trucks pulled into the con-struction site, all carrying pieces of the crane,” said Anderson. “To see the crane oper-ate has been fascinating. Through our 24/7 live streaming cameras, we are watchingpieces of structural steel, some of which weigh more than half a million pounds, beinglifted into place with what looks like ease. Those large pieces of the building — andthe five tower cranes sitting on the site at all times — are what really bring this proj-ect to life for the organization and our fans.”

Mortenson Construction is serving as the general contractor on the project, which

places great emphasis on sustainability.“From the start, the project design and construction team has been

committed to building a stadium that is environmentally and energy effi-cient and achieves LEED certification,” Anderson said. “Those effortsreally began with the demolition of the Metrodome. The LEED-qualify-ing goal in terms of recycled materials was 80 percent.”

Anderson said that according to Mortenson, nearly 90 percent of theMetrodome’s materials were recycled, including more than 80 percentof the Metrodome’s steel and concrete, 80,000 tons (72,574 t) of con-crete, 4,500 tons (4,082 t) of structural steel, 25 tons (22.6 t) of pre-cious metals, 300 tons (272 t) of roof cables and 75 tons (68 t) of plas-tic that were recycled from the Metrodome seats that were not sold.

“Ultimately we will achieve LEED-certification, but at what level isyet to be determined,” said Anderson.

In early December, officials gathered to celebrate the one-yearanniversary of new stadium groundbreaking.

“We have hundreds of workers out there and over 200 Minnesotacompanies involved in this project, so it’s very exciting to see the amaz-ing progress,” Mark Wilf , Vikings owner and president said to thecrowd. “But as exciting as these past 12 months have been, between nowand July 2016 when this building opens is going to be even better. Wehave the glass doors coming in 2015, the ETFE clear roof, and all of thegreat features that our fans have gotten to see in the images are going tocome to life in the next year. People will want to bring their families hereto not only enjoy a Vikings game, but to also make it a day-long experi-ence. This is going to be an iconic building, the premier sports buildingin this country.”

The Minnesota Legislature and the Minneapolis City Councilapproved funding in 2012 for the new multi-purpose Vikings stadium,which is scheduled to open in time for the 2016 NFL season. One of thebiggest challenges on the project is the deadline.

“We have a very short time to construct this stadium,” said JenniferHathaway, director of communications of the Minnesota SportsFacilities Authority (MSFA), which will own and operate the stadium,and is responsible for the design and construction. “We are very good atscheduling and keeping things on track.”

The longtime home of the Vikings, the 32-year-old Metrodome hadto be torn down as part of the transition. During demolition, one part of

the ring beam fell out of place, leading to the use of controlled explo-

sives. Contractors used more than 80 charges of dynamite in 24

columns of the upper concourse. Preparation was key in bringing down

the stadium.

“The first step was to turn the power off to the building,” said

Hathaway. “The roof of the Metrodome was held up by air pressure. So,

when the power was turned off, the roof came slowly down. After that,

we needed to cut the roof off, blast the cables off, then proceed with the

demolition.”

Before demo work started, crews had to clear the building of anything

that could be recycled, repurposed or sold. As many as 15,000 of the

original seats were purchased by fans.

A total of 800,000 cu. yds. (611,643 cu m) of dirt were removed on

the project. Excavation took place from November 2013 through July

2014. Work on the drilled piers also has been completed, along with the

foundation. By July 2015, the super structure and concrete work should

be finished, with the enclosure and structural steel wrapped up by the

end of 2015.Most of the main concourse has been poured. 110,000 cu. yds.

(84,101 cu m) of concrete make up the entire stadium. The final pieceof the prow was placed on the site in October. It weighs 400,000 lbs.(181, 436 kg) is 200 ft. (60.9 m) long and 20 ft. (6 m) deep. The largestpiece of steel — the roof ridge truss — weighs 750,000 lbs. (340,194 kg)

and was placed in mid-November. Other work involves 11,000 tons (9,979 t) of long-span steel, the sta-

dium enclosure, ETFE at 10.6 by 100 ft. (3.2 by 30.5 m) long, and inte-riors and finishes. Glass installation will begin in early 2015, followedby zinc metal panel installation, which will mark the beginning of thepermanent closure in April. An October 2015 topping out party isplanned, followed by site work and landscaping in 2016.

One of the features of the new stadium will be its connection via sky-way to the Minneapolis downtown core. Vikings fans will be able topark at the ramps on the west side of Minneapolis near Target Field with-out stepping outdoors when heading to the new stadium. Thenew stadium will seat 65,000 people and could expand to accommodate72,000 fans during major sporting events. It will include 150 suites,7,000 club seats, and space for gift shops, restaurants, an NFL teammuseum and Hall of Fame.

The clear ETFE roof combined with the largest pivoting glass doorsand the expansive glass throughout the building also will give stadiumusers an outdoor feel in a climate-controlled environment.

“Throughout the design discussions, the stadium team looked at allpossibilities, including a retractable roof, but ultimately this was the bestsolution for our climate and our market,” said Anderson. “We are confi-dent this stadium will be unlike any other facility in the country. Whenpeople see it on TV and in pictures, they will know this is Minnesota’sstadium.”

Several characteristics of the stadium’s new roof were specificallydesigned for Minnesota’s harsh climate. The slope of the stadium willgive the building the ability to shed snow, while the translucent ETFEmaterial will allow more sunlight and radiant heat through the roof.Diverters will redirect the snow and ice it into gutters and collectionbasins located on the edges of the roof, preventing the precipitation fromfalling to the ground.

Fans also will be as close to the field as any stadium in the league,with seats 41 ft. (12.4 m) from the sideline. Seven levels in the stadium,including two general admission concourses with 360-degree circulationand different views into the bowl, will be connected via escalators, ele-vators, stairs and a continuous ramp. Two of the largest HD video boardsin the NFL will be located in both the east and west end zones. The sta-dium also will include a Vikings Hall of Legends and a team store.

To mark the one-year of construction, the team released a time-lapsevideo showing the progress to date, along with a photo gallery andhighlights from the first year of construction. The MSFA also recentlyreleased its most recent “State-of-the-Stadium” update. The documentshows that as of Oct. 31, the project was 29 percent complete, with 60percent of all concrete poured, including the entire two lower levels ofthe stadium. Currently, minorities and women make up 40 percent and

10 percent of the construction workforce.The Minnesota Vikings will be required to play in the new stadium

for the next 30 years. The stadium will be available 355 days a year forpublic use. The team is playing two seasons at the University ofMinnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium as work on the new structure continues.

Once completed, the stadium will include nearly twice the squarefootage as the old facility, because of wider concourses and additionalrestrooms, as well as signature gathering spaces. The multipurpose sta-dium also could accommodate a major league soccer franchise, able toconvert into a 20,000-seat soccer stadium by masking the extra seatswith large panels and advertising boards. The team has even displayedimages of the new stadium with a large MLS soccer logo superimposedon it, and has broadcast a video showing football players making touch-downs and soccer athletes scoring goals in the structure.

As for the economic boost to the area, Anderson said the impact ofthe new Vikings stadium cannot be underestimated.

“First, more than half a billion dollars in private and team contribu-tions are going toward this publicly-owned and operated project,” saidAnderson. “That is significant in itself. Secondly, this project will requirenearly 4.3 million work hours to complete and approximately 7,500workers will spend time on the site and receive an estimated $300 mil-lion in wages.

“Additionally, more than 200 Minnesota companies have alreadycontributed to the project, and ultimately nearly 80 percent of the dol-lars spent on construction will go back to Minnesota companies. But theeconomic impact moves beyond the construction itself and continueswhen the stadium opens in 2016. Adjacent to the stadium is another$500 million-plus mixed-use development that was announced just oneday after the new stadium design was unveiled.”

In the past eight months alone, the new stadium has secured two ofthe most high-profile sporting events in the world — Super Bowl LII(2018) and the 2019 NCAA Final Four — which, combined, will bringmore than 150,000 people and significant economic activity to the mar-ket.

“With the unique stadium design and the tremendous fan amenitiesthroughout the building, stadium operator SMG fully expects to com-pete for numerous large events, all of which will have a positive eco-nomic impact for Minnesota,” said Anderson.

“In the first nine months since our New Stadium Preview Centeropened, we have had more than 8,000 tours, which just goes to show thatfans are incredibly excited to get a feel for their future game experience.And on the construction site, each month brings more exciting mile-stones. Now being nearly one-third complete, the vision we all had isbecoming reality.”

H&E Equipment Unveils ManitowocCrane Remanufacturing Complex

Manitowoc EnCORE partner, H&E Equipment Services, has opened

a new crane remanufacturing complex to service Manitowoc cranes in

Belle Chasse, La. The new center marks a significant upgrade to the

company’s abilities to rebuild, repair and remanufacture Manitowoc

Cranes, tripling its capacity.

The new complex has two primary facilities: one devoted to crane

remanufacturing (Crane Remanufacturing Center) and another devoted

to heavy equipment structural repair (Structural Repair Center). It is

strategically located on the Intercoastal Waterway near the Mississippi

River with access to the Gulf of Mexico, which gives the complex ship-

ping capabilities.

Frank Arthur, branch manager of H&E, said the company had out-

grown its older remanufacturing center, so it was time to upgrade with

new buildings and equipment. The move adds more capabilities to care

for crane and heavy equipment customers.

“We are excited about the improvements to our facilities and capabil-

ities,” Arthur said. “We used to have a small facility where 75 percent of

our work was performed outside, but now we can do 85 percent of our

work inside. This will allow us to achieve greater quality and productiv-

ity by working in a controlled environment.”

The Crane Remanufacturing Center measures 40,000 sq. ft. (3,716 sq

m), with six large service bays, each equipped with an 11-ton (10 t)

capacity overhead crane. The entire service floor can be accessed by an

83-ton (75 t) mobile industrial gantry crane. The large shop accommo-

dates up to six crane remanufacturing projects at one time, along with

numerous component rebuilds.

The Structural Repair Center is 15,000 sq. ft. (1,393.5 sq m) with two

11-ton (10 t) capacity overhead cranes. The structure is fully-equipped

with five structural alignment welding tables, fixtures and special tool-

ing for crane boom and component repair.

The services H&E offers at the new complex include crane remanu-

facturing and repair, structural repair, component rebuilds, marine proj-

ect mobilization, derrick service and equipment cleaning, blasting and

painting. The company employs a team of Manitowoc-certified staff,

including technicians, blasters, painters and welders.

“H&E became a Manitowoc dealer 40 years ago,” Arthur said. “We

have grown and changed, but we maintain that same customer focus

even today. Manitowoc is a significant reason for our success — we

have a great partnership.”

Since opening in July 2014, H&E’s customers have steadily been vis-

iting the plant. Arthur said customers are impressed and consider the

new complex a practical and innovative resource that will contribute to

their future success.

Family-Run Company in Ponca CityMeets Customers’ Storage Needs

About eight years ago, Jimmy and Allen Hawkins decided to starttheir own business. The brothers grew up often working alongside theirfather, who had been in the tank-erection industry for several years. Theyworked for other companies as well before they determined the time wasright to go out on their own.

“With the experience we’d gained, it was a move that made sense tous,” said Jimmy. “We got off to a good start, and it just kept expanding.”

The brothers, along with Allen’s son Cody, started Heartland TankLLC out of Allen’s home and a 30 by 50 ft. shop where Cody set upmachinery to cut steel. Within months they had enough materials tobuild their first tank, and not long after, growth forced them to move toa larger location just outside of Ponca City, Okla. The three are ownersand general managers with each claiming their own role. Allen handlesestimating and pricing, Cody runs fabrication and Jimmy oversees fieldoperations.

“Our business is building flat-bottom, cone-roof tanks, and we pro-vide full service from taking a customer’s information and building aproposal to final erection of the tank,” said Allen. “Our customers aregenerally coops and others who need storage capacity for liquid fertiliz-er. Most of our tanks are cookie-cutter sizes, starting from 500,000 gal-lons to 3 million gallons, but we offer custom sizes as well. It all dependson what a customer needs.”

Heartland Tank Services, an affiliated company, handles sales forHeartland Tank. The company gathers customer information that’sturned over to Heartland Tank LLC. Allen provides a price and propos-al. Once it’s accepted, Heartland Tank LLC’s drafting department putstogether a design that is then sent to fabrication.

Fabricating Puzzle PiecesFabrication is done in Heartland Tank’s shop. Cody’s brother Justin is

the company’s fabrication supervisor.“About 95 percent of fabrication is done in-house, using two burn

tables and our welders,” said Cody. “In essence, our shop is buildingpuzzle pieces that fit together once they get out in the field. Everythingis steel, and we believe that, along with using larger sheets of steel thanmost and building to precise tolerances with superior welds, sets usapart. It allows us to put together high-quality tanks.”

Once fabrication is complete, Heartland Tank ships the pieces to cus-tomers’ locations with its own trucks and occasionally works with otherlogistics companies. After the pieces are delivered, field crews put thepuzzle together. The company typically has nine or 10 jobs going at anyone time and mainly serves the Midwest, or “where the corn grows, andfertilizer is required,” according to Jimmy. The Hawkins consider theirterritory to be from North Dakota to Texas, north to south, and fromColorado to Indiana, east to west.

Heartland Tank LLC now employs 70-plus people, more than half ofwhich are in the field and travel extensively to erect tanks. Cody notedthat a significant portion of the company’s staff includes family mem-bers.

“This is a true family business, and that’s something we take greatpride in,” he said “Even those who aren’t related are considered part ofour family, and we treat them as such. We believe that if you build anddevelop employees who work hard, that equates to success. Obviously,as spread-out as our work is, I can’t be on job sites, so I place a lot oftrust in our foremen and laborers, and they don’t let us down.”

Operator Jared Dowler moves a steelplate with Heartland Tank’s Grove RT700E60-ton (54.4 t) rough-terrain crane at thecompany’s headquarters and fabricationshop in Ponca City, Okla., where it fabri-cates the pieces that are assembled intotanks in the field.

A Smooth ProcessTypically, tanks range in size

from 30 ft. (9.1 m) in diameterby 32 ft. (9.7 m) tall to 127 ft.(38.7) in diameter by 32 feettall. Before erection, HeartlandTank sets the grade and laysdown the bottom, then beginsbuilding the structure and set-ting the roof. Once assembled,the company finishes a tank withnozzles and other items to makeit functional.

“All of the tanks require secondary containment, so we build somedouble-wall tanks to suit that need,” said Jimmy. “Once those are com-plete, they’re ready to be used. Others require someone to come inbehind us and install a bladder, a service, which Heartland Tank Servicesoffers. What goes up depends on what the customer wants.”

“The entire process, from the time we get an order to final erection,usually takes a few months,” said Allen. “First, it gets scheduled in pro-duction, then we acquire the steel, and finally, fabrication begins. Thattypically takes one to three weeks. Erection takes another three to sixweeks. The tank size determines how long we need for fabrication anderection. It requires a lot of coordination and logistics to make it all work,but our experience and expertise make it a fairly smooth process.”

Grove Cranes Were the First ChoiceFor tank erection, Heartland Tank uses three 40-ton (36. 2 t) Grove

RT540E rough-terrain cranes, which have as much as 102 ft. (31 m) of

boom length, a maximum tip height of 154 ft. (46.9 m) and a total gross-

vehicle weight of about 64,000 lbs. (29,029 kg). The company uses a 60-

ton RT700E in its yard to unload, load and move steel plating for fabri-

cation and transport material to job sites.

“I had experience running about every brand of crane before we start-

ed this business, and Grove was always my preference,” said Jimmy.

“That made it an easy choice when we started looking for our own.

Within the first year, we bought a 30-ton crane that we’ve since traded

in. I believe what sets Grove apart is the workmanship that goes into its

cranes. They’re the best built on the market, they perform every day in

all types of conditions and they are easy to operate.

“The RT540Es are definitely

the right fit for tank erection.

They easily handle the fabricat-

ed pieces, as well as the varying

ground conditions. We move

them from one site to another,

and generally we don’t need a

permit to haul them, which is an

added bonus. The RT700E gives

us everything we need in the

yard to handle large steel plates.”Heartland Tank performs

maintenance on the equipment, but calls on Kirby-Smith Machinery Inc.as needed for help and parts.

“Our Territory Manager Todd York and Kirby-Smith in general have

been great to work with,” said Allen. “We worked with them when we

were at other companies, so we knew they would take care of us.

Whenever we need something, they help us quickly. We have a good

relationship with them, and that’s another reason we’ve continued to buy

Grove cranes.”

More Controlled GrowthHeartland Tank LLC has developed good relationships with its cus-

tomers, which has led to a lot of repeat work. The owners count that as

a big feather in their caps because it shows they built the company the

right way. It has expanded considerably during the past eight years, and

they are happy with Heartland’s current size.

“We built Heartland Tank on performance, so we’re proud of where

we stand,” said Allen. “One thing we always keep in mind is our ability

to take care of the customer, and we can do that very well. That’s some-

thing we want to continue, so we’ve reassessed lately. Our plan is con-

trolled growth from here, so we are able to continue to offer our same

level of customer service.”

“One area where we could grow is in fabrication,” said Cody. “We’ve

started doing outside work for other tank companies, and there are other

possibilities out there. As long as it doesn’t get in the way of us taking

care of our customers, we’ll look at ways to expand.”

Flach Uses Link-Belt ATC-3210 asTaxi Crane in Port Rensselaer, N.Y.

Flach Crane recently lifted and placed 70-ft. (21.3 m) long propane

tanks weighing 85,000 lbs. (38,555.3 kg) each for a storage facility in

Port Rensselaer, N.Y. Hiltz Propane of Lancaster, Pa., contracted Flach

Crane and its new ATC-3210 to place six tanks in a single day at the

Hudson River port. The tanks were unloaded from a drop off point on

the east side of the terminal and swung 90 degrees where they were

placed on reinforced concrete slabs 45 ft. (13.7 m) apart.

The crane of choice was Link-Belt’s new ATC-3210, a 210-ton (190.5

t) all-terrain crane, which Flach hopes will get them back into the 200-

ton (181.4 t) taxi crane market due to customer demand.

“The only comparable machine in this class that we had was a 200-

ton crawler [248 H5], and it’s used for long-term rentals, rather than any-

thing taxi related,” said Flach President John Flach.

Flach purchased the crane from Wood’s CRW of Williston, Vt., and

is impressed with the ATC-3210’s capabilities.

“The ATC-3210 is lightweight for its capacity, as well as meeting all

our requirements that we need for plant maintenance, and the taxi-crane

type work we’re involved in. It also has the reach that we need for the

technology companies that are coming into this area,” said Flach.

Flach operator Mike Smith said, “We’ve used this crane for many

tank placements already, the heaviest being 102,000 pounds.”

Once the tanks are placed, they are rotated so they sit perfectly upright

for pressurized valve connections, and using rigging ropes, the tanks are

rotated into place.

Flach Crane is pleased with the performance of the machine.

“Link-Belt is constantly upgrading and trying to make their machines

better. There are no complaints from us on Link-Belt Cranes. And as far

as the technology and ease of working on them, Link-Belt is really doing

a good job,” said Flach.

Wood’s CRW has additional locations in Massachusetts, New York

and Pennsylvania.

Hiltz Propane of Lancaster, Pa., contracted Flach Crane and its new ATC-3210 to place six tanks in a single day at the Hudson Riverport.

With the new Explorer 5500 crane, Terex Cranes is expanding its

Explorer series by adding a new model in the 143 ton (130 t) capacity

class. Just like its “big brothers,” the Explorer 5600 and 5800 cranes, the

Explorer 5500 crane convinces with its impressive performance data.

The new crane features a 197 ft. (60 m) long main boom; three exten-

sions of 36, 69 and 108 ft. (11, 21, and 33 m) in length are available, all

of which can be offset. The maximum system length is 284 ft. (86.5 m).

The maximum load moment is 435 tons (395 t), with the maximum lift-

ing capacity when telescoping 27 tons (24.5 t). Outrigger extension posi-

tions of 8.3, 15.4 and 23 ft. (2.54, 4.7, and 7.0 m) can be selected. With

a carrier length of 39.7 ft. (12.1 m), a total length of 47 ft. (14.3 m), and

a width of 9 ft. (2.75 m), this 5-axle crane is more compact than any

other in its capacity class, which enables it to be used inside cities as well

as on narrow construction sites. In addition, steerable axles provide good

maneuverability in tight quarters.

For comfort and safety in driving operation the new Explorer 5500

crane has a dynamic launch control function that prevents the crane from

rolling backwards when starting up and maneuvering on uphill grades.

Due to various configuration options, the new Explorer 5500 crane

can be adapted to fulfill the road service approval regulations of key

markets for this capacity class. This is possible with variable axle loads

and axle pair intervals, the dismountable main boom, transport dolly

preparation, a maximum front overhang of 5 ft. (1.52 m), and other fea-

tures.

Focus on Economic ViabilityTerex Cranes placed a

strong emphasis on eco-

nomic viability during

development. That is why

all components for the

Terex Explorer 5500 can be

transported using a single

standard support vehicle.

This also results in low

operating costs — as does,

the automatic counter-

weight setup system,

which allows the crane to be

readied for operation quickly.

The electronically controlled

brake system makes for lower

wear and thus reduced operating

costs while at the same time increas-

ing brake power. Simple — and

therefore equally cost-effective —

maintenance is provided by easily

accessible service points on the

crane. For instance, the diesel and

DEF tanks can be conveniently reached from the ground.

Terex Single-Motor ConceptThe new Explorer 5500 crane also features the Terex single-motor

concept already seen on the Explorer 5600 and Explorer 5800. This low-

ers the operating costs even further, since only one motor requires main-

tenance. Terex has outfitted this system to give it special technical

sophistication. The control system automatically recognizes each

demand; for instance, it switches from high power in driving operation

to energy-saving mode during crane operation. Moreover, the system

also has an energy-saving start/stop function. The motor is a powerful

and, at the same time, economical 368 kW unit that meets emission stan-

dards Euromot 4 and Tier IV (final). On request, a 331 kW motor for

Euromot 3a / Tier III also is available in applicable markets.

The Explorer 5500 all terrain crane is equipped with ergonomically

designed and spacious cabs for comfortable operation: The carrier cab

lacks a B-column to provide optimum visibility, and the superstructure

cab offers ample leg room. It also is tiltable up to 16 degrees to ensure

comfortable work for extended periods. Both cabs are equipped with

ergonomic seats and have ventilation nozzles that can be adjusted indi-

vidually.

For operational safety, monitoring displays on a touch screen with

intuitive controls provide the driver with important data on more than ten

operational parameters of the carrier, such as tire pressure, brake system

status, and the suspension system. In addition, there is constant monitor-

ing for maintaining the axle loads. In the superstructure, the time-tested,

likewise intuitively operated Terex IC-1 control system is used, in which

all load charts, the respective working range limits, and more are saved

to offer rapid, simple, and safe configuration.

NCCCO Marks 20 Years of ProvidingCrane Operator Certification Services

The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators(NCCCO) announced the 20th anniversary of its professionally devel-oped and nationally accredited personnel certification programs.

“Over the past two decades, CCO certification has made an indeliblecontribution to crane safety by establishing a national benchmark of theknowledge and skills needed to operate cranes,” said Thom Sicklesteel,NCCCO president. “CCO certification, without question, is one of themost powerful tools available to an employer in ensuring only qualifiedpersonnel work with and around cranes.”

NCCCO was established in January 1995 as an independent, non-

profit personnel certification organization following almost a decade of

commitment by a group of industry volunteers dedicated to improving

the safety of lifting operations.

“They believed a major part of the solution to reducing the high rate

of crane accidents lay in establishing effective performance standards for

crane operators and those who work with them,” said Graham Brent,

NCCCO chief executive officer. “The result of this vision, determination

and sheer hard work was a fair, valid and reliable assessment of crane

operator knowledge and skills.”

NCCCO is preparing a slate of activities and announcements as part

of a special 20th Anniversary Recognition Program developed to mark

the occasion.

“We want to be sure that we recog-

nize this historic milestone appropri-

ately,” Brent said. “There’s a tremen-

dous amount that administering

almost one million examinations can

tell us, and we’re excited about shar-

ing that information with the industry,

as well as outlining the role we

believe professional certification can

play in addressing such issues as the

nation’s skills shortage.”There would, he added, also be a

powerful retrospective element, chart-ing the achievements of NCCCO todate. Studies have demonstrated an 80percent decline in crane-related fatali-ties in areas where professionallydeveloped certification has beenadopted.

“Insurance companies, projectowners and risk managers recognizethe key role that CCO certificationplays in workplace risk mitigation andthe impact it has on the safety of craneoperations overall,” he said. “CCOcertification has been successful forone major reason — it works.”

“It’s been a remarkable journey,” said Kerry Hulse, NCCCO vice

president, “one that has far exceeded the expectations of those who con-

tributed their time and expertise to this effort for years even prior to the

formation of NCCCO two decades ago.”

Hulse, who is vice president, Deep South Crane & Rigging, Houston,

Texas, was chairman of the original certification task force established

by the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) that ulti-

mately led to the formation of NCCCO. He served as chairman of the

commission from its inception until his election to the board in 2012.

“That initial group of industry volunteers had one simple goal — to

make this industry a safer place in which to work. And all the evidence

is that they have achieved that.”

And the pace of adoption continues to grow, he added, noting the

achievement of another milestone just last year when the 100,000th per-

son to be certified through NCCCO programs was issued his CCO cer-

tification card.
