Owner Enseada Industria Naval S.A. Architect Konecranes General Contractor Construtora Norberto Odebrecht S.A. Engineering Office Odebrecht Engenharia Industrial Construction Period 01/2014 - 03/2015 The Enseada’s Goliath Gantry Crane is 150 m high (it is Brazil’s highest equipment), has a 143 m span and capacity to lift up to 1,800 tons. In total, about 300 professionals from five different nationalities were involved in the assembly of the shipyard’s main equipment. The assembly was divided into three steps: (i) erection of the Fixed Leg, (ii) erection of the Hinged Leg (or A-frame) and finally (iii) lifting of the Main Girder. The analyzes in SCIA Engineer aimed to check Goliath’s structure during the assembly stages. Specifically in this model, the temporary works and structures involved in the erection of the Hinged Leg were analyzed. Part of the Main Girder and the Hinged Leg support structure was modeled with shell elements (2D). The boogies structure was modeled with frame elements (1D). The loads during the erection of the Hinged Leg were given by the crane manufacturer in global analysis and applied into the model through the hinge system. From these analyzes, local reinforcements were added, because of high stresses in the hinge system and bracing tubes. These reinforcements were developed and verified with the help of SCIA Engineer, ensuring safe operation. Construtora Norberto Odebrecht
