When working at height, the concrete placing boom stretches the pipes to the desired floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LIFTING OVERTURNED EQUIPMENT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An engineer must be consulted whenever equipment tips over to draw up a precise lifting plan. This plan identifies the steps, equipment and safety measures required such as evacuating areas and closing streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EXECUTING THE MANEUVER<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two mobile cranes are often used to straighten an overturned pump or crane. Operators must be trained, and a qualified person must coordinate the operation, ensuring that everything goes according to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>RISKS AND PRECAUTIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Failure to properly restrain the boom when lifting can cause the equipment to tip over again. Lifting cable anchors must be strong; they could cause serious accidents if they broke. With proper planning and execution, these maneuvers can be carried out without danger to workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.preventionautravail.com\/relevage-pompes-beton-tache-meticuleuse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to read the full article<\/a> (French)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have questions about concrete pumps or any other aspect of your work in the construction industry?
