Engineering Construction Period 05/2016 - 09/2016 The purpose of the lifting frame is to lift prefabricated steel units (almost the complete steel structure of a power plant) with a weight of 420 tons to a ship. The engineering contains the analysis of general stability and design of connection details. SCIA Engineer was used, namely the steel check according to American standards. The difficulty was to know the possible scenarios that may occur during lifting. The loads per lifting point are provided by the client, however, they are not directly applicable since they are determined with the assumption that the lifting frame does not deform. In reality, however, the loads are distributed differently because the end sections of the structure deform more than the middle part. To take this effect into account, different load distributions were evaluated. The type of cables used, the existence of one or two lifting cranes etc. All of these factors play an important role in the design of a lifting frame.
