Ground condition assessment, soil compaction testing, and outrigger pad civil verification
|
- Punching shear failure of crane outrigger foot through soft soil
- Setting up over hidden underground voids, drainage culverts, or live utilities
- Uneven ground settlement leading to crane out-of-level tilt

- Insufficient outrigger mat surface contact area
|
- Catastrophic crane tip-over and structural boom collapse
- Crushing injuries and fatalities of surrounding workers
- Major utility pipeline rupture and site-wide flooding
- Severe asset damage exceeding crane total loss
|
Lifting Engineer, Geotechnical Surveyor, Crane Operator, Lifting Supervisor
|
- Obtain geotechnical Plate Load Test / California Bearing Ratio (CBR) report prior to setup
