Condition Monitoring Terminology
• Condition Based Maintenance (CBM): A philosophy of maintaining equipment based on an estimation of its condition and maintenance logistics. Enhanced application of CBM is through the prediction (prognosis) of the equipment remaining useful life or time to service need.
• Prognostics and Health Management (PHM): A health management approach to reduce or eliminate inspections and time-based maintenance through accurate monitoring, incipient fault detection, and prediction of impending failure.

Establish Basis of Implementation
• Begin with the end in mind, and the overall implementation constraints
• Asset coverage – definition of system boundary• Asset Management Strategy• Cost
• It’s easy to collect data – but how do you know you are looking in the right place?
• Understand component relationships and system vulnerabilities through design and experience
• Maintenance history• Legislated inspection criterion• Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)• Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Analysis• Physics-of-Failure modeling

Maintenance Reasoning
• Monitor: Acquire, process, and deliver Objective Quality Evidence (OQE)
• Detection: Monitored parameter(s) has departed its normal operating envelope
• Diagnosis: Identify, localize, and determine severity of an evolving (incipient fault through functional failure) condition
• Prognosis: Reliably and accurately forecast remaining operational time to end of useful life, future condition, or risk to complete planned operations – “mission readiness”

Case Study – US Navy Shipyard Cranes• Customer has 28 portal cranes at 4 remote sites• No objective evidence of asset utilization• No automated workflow – pure schedule based
maintenance.• Program Goals
• Provide ability to monitor shipyard capital assets, facilities and equipment in support of performing maintenance based on objective evidence of need -- Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) IAW OPNAVINST 4790.16a
• Develop, install and accredit secure wireless network• Enable shipyard business processes and applications (e.g.,
IBM Maximo)
Improve Asset Availability – Decrease Maintenance Costs
www.impact-rlw.com 11© 2011, Impact-RLW Systems, Inc. – All Rights Reserved
System Key Characteristics
• Function usage data collected for bridge and portal cranes at one Shipyard. • In this case, usage is the first assessment of condition.
• Introduce at-the-hook load monitoring technology.• Provide data on asset usage to EAM application • Complete Certification and Accreditation (data security)
process to ensure integrity of wireless transmission.• Use Open Systems and a modular architecture to support
future applications.
www.impact-rlw.com 12© 2011, Impact-RLW Systems, Inc. – All Rights Reserved
Open Platform for Condition Monitoring
• Open systems approach permits easy installation.
• A modular approach permits hierarchical implementation.
• Embedded processing reduces bandwidth needs and increases overall system robustness.

Design Considerations – Integrating with the Enterprise• Use of Open Standards
• Open Systems Architecture – Condition Based Maintenance / Enterprise Asset Integration (OSA-CBM/EAI)
• Enterprise Asset Management Integration• Data enables workflow automation• Faults/incipient failures can be routed to the right person at the right
time• Enables Performance Based Logistics
• Hierarchical Components • Modules arranged in a hierarchical relationship that mirrors the
functional organization of the machine component, and the functional organization of the system
• Component level processing permits straightforward interpretation of the interaction between components
• Distributed processing increases system robustness

Conclusions
• Begin with the end in mind – design and apply asset monitoring technologies to enable an overall strategy. The data is only useful if analyzed in context.
• Early collaboration between engineering and IT to assist in the application of OT.
• Components that employ local processing and can be applied in a hierarchical, open system anticipate future needs and evolving analysis capabilities and enterprise planning needs.

Crosby “RFID equiped” products:
Points to consider…– Do you conduct onsite inspections?– How many hours are spent throughout the
entire inspection process?– How accurate are the inspection reports?– Are your inspection reports typed &
formatted?– Can you currently pick up any product to
inspect and quickly determine when it was last inspected, as well as the inspection status?
Different types of RFID– Active (long range, battery powered, finite life
span)– Passive (no battery, powered on by reader,
infinite life span)– Standards
• Low, High, Ultra high frequency
Components of an RFID assisted electronicinspection system:
1. Tag or chips2. Reader (pda & pen)3. Software
The basics:RFID simply assiociates the “globally unique” number of the RFID tag with the unique serial number assigned to your product (shackle, chain sling, snatch block,…)
Benefits– Accuracy of inspection reports– Timelines of reports– Inspection history– Product tracking– Improved employee efficiency– In field validation of inspections– Reduced liability

Temporary Lifting Facilities.16TH North Sea Offshore Cranes & Lifting Conference BP Magnus
Life Extension Project – 2010 / 11
Presented by: Gordon McCombie
Introduction
“BP Magnus Life Extension Project”
– Survey– Crane upgrade or crane
replacement– Opportunity for lifting
operations improvement – The challenges– Methodology
Survey
Survey objectives;– Define / identify all key plant locations– Define key lift weights & description– Confirm short/medium/long term lifts for each crane for life of field– Platform management to specify all major projects over next 10 years– Determine power requirements prime mover for new cranes (diesel / electric)– Identify all lay down areas– Confirm location of all existing blind lifts– Confirm pedestal strength / overturning moment
• Inspection reports• Any defects• Any limiting factors
Crane upgrade or crane replacement?
Analysis;
1. Crane replacement (new cranes)2. Offshore upgrade of existing Stothert & Pitt cranes3. Onshore upgrade of existing Stothert & Pitt cranes
Replacement / Upgrade Justification
• OEM recommended life • HSE integrity inspections• Single point failures (winches)• Fatigue (all major components)• Known boom defects• Capacity –future coiled tubing lifts on platform• Hoist speed – for boat lifts• Pump spares obsolescence• Motor spares obsolescence• Increasing maintenance costs
Pros / Cons - Crane Replacement
• Pros‐ Latest generation cranes‐ Less maintenance down time‐ Increased boom Length‐ Increased capacity @ 35m (for coil tubing lifts
‐ Increased spares for ‘B’ crane
• Cons– Greater initial cost– Long lead time– Possible boom rest & other
modifications
Pros / Cons – Offshore Upgrade
• Pros– Cheapest option– Shortest overall project
completion– Increased life of existing crane
• Cons– Limited scale of upgrade– Extensive platform disruption
• Crane downtime• Loss of lay down area• Loss of access to large portion of
pipe deck
– Increased exposure to un‐foreseen delays
Pros / Cons - Onshore Upgrade
• Pros– Delivery of a more
comprehensive overhaul/ upgrade compared with the offshore option i.e.
• Chassis overhaul / upgrade• “A” frame overhaul / upgrade• Cranes fully tested prior to re –
installation– Minimised disruption to sea
lifting cranes– Less platform disruption than
offshore upgrade option
• Cons– Higher upgrade cost compared
with offshore upgrade option– Longest project timescale of all
three options
Crane upgrade or crane replacement summary
• Stothert &Pitt OS200 ‐Upgrade considerations– Obsolete systems / design features– Single point failures– Age – Lifting performance limitations– Increasing maintenance costs– Upgrading work performed on or off the installation
• Kenz‐Figee B.V.DHC 70/3500 OS Ex. (Proposed replacements)– Pedestal height increased with installation of a new adaptor attached to
existing pedestal flanges– EN13852‐1 standard / compliant– Increase in lifting performance – Good for remaining life of platform– Existing OEM support
Opportunity for lifting operations improvement
• Improvements / benefits;– Elimination of obsolete systems & design features– Meets with EN13852‐1 standard– Physical increase in crane pedestal height– Elimination of blind lifting conditions – Improved visibility during deck & sea lifting operations– Improved/ increased lifting speeds– Overall safer deck & sea lifting operations
The challenges
• Overcoming requirement for temporary crane access to service both “a”& “c” cranes without re assembling the elevated skid structure.– Design /supply R.M.D (Kwikform) support structure.
• Overcoming the inadequate strength of the existing pedestal flange connection.– OEM design / supply purpose built segmented clamps creating a retaining ring
around pedestal.• Overcoming machining existing flanges to a pre determined size.
– Design & manufacture special purpose insitu machining equipment

Cat. 2: Equipment used with machinery for lifting goods?Exeptional use?
Launching/recovery of rescue boat:- training of rescue crew is performed regularly - rescue operations are exceptional, but, nevertheless, PLANNED operations
Access to work places with suspended work platform:- may be both PLANNED and UNPLANNED (exceptional) operations
Personnel transfer:- REGULAR operation in connection with crew shifts/transfers- an alternative means of medical transport (e.g. injured personell), exceptional, but,
nevertheless, a PLANNED operation - an alternative operation in case of weather conditions prohibiting helicopter transport
Crane designed for lifting goods only?
Offshore cranes in accordance with EN 13852-1 may be designed for lifting persons

Cat. 1: Interchangeable equipment (IE)?CONCEPT:
Definition, 2006/42/EC, Article 2 (b):- ‘interchangeable equipment’ means a device which, after the putting into service of
machinery or of a tractor, is assembled with that machinery or tractor by the operator himself in order to change its function or attribute a new function, in so far as this equipment is not a tool
IE canges the function of, or attributes a new function to existing machinery
IE does not have to fit the strict definition of machinery
IE may be put on the marked separately, by another manufacturer
IE follows the same formal procedures for CE-marking, as machinery
Manufacturer of IE takes responsibility for the combination machinery + IE
User manual for IE must inform which machinery the IE can be assembled with
End user may assemble IE with machinery. Does not need to consider if the combination is complying with the machinery directive.

Cat. 1: Interchangeable equipment (IE)?REQUIREMENTS AND CONSTRAINTS IN GUIDANCE DOCUMENT:
IE ”assembled with” lifting machinery- requires a certain integration between the carrier and the lifting machinery- to what extent?
”Equipment placed on (…) the hook of a crane is not considered interchangeable equipment (…)”- technical constraint to carriers suspended from the hook of an offshore crane, based on a
political decision- excludes carriers used with offshore cranes from the definition of IE

Guidance document – Problems Does not address the need for CE-marking of carriers to be suspended from
offshore cranes
Conflicts with harmonised standard for offshore cranes, EN 13852-1- Harmonised under 98/37/EC- Currently under revision, expected to be harmonised with 2006/42/EC- Contains technical requirements for lifting persons- No requirements to the carrier, but the carrier is intended to be suspended from the hook
Manufacturer of IE is responsible for the safety of the assembly of crane + carrier.- safety is depending on crane design- only the crane manufacturer is able to evaluate the safety of the assembly crane + carrier

Need for clarification
May carriers suspended from the hook of an offshore crane be regarded as interchangeable equipement, when the offshore crane complies with EN 13852-1?

Alternative approach – Lifting accessories Carriers suspended from offshore cranes = Lifting Accessories
Definition, 2006/42/EC Article 2 (d):- ‘lifting accessory’ means a component or equipment not attached to the lifting
machinery, allowing the load to be held, which is placed between the machinery and the load or on the load itself, or which is intended to constitute an integral part of the load and which is independently placed on the market; slings and their components are also regarded as lifting accessories
The term ”load” may be understood as both ”goods” and ”persons”, ref. definition of ”lifting operation”, 2006/42/EC, Annex I sec. 4.1.1.(a):- ‘Lifting operation’ means a movement of unit loads consisting of goods and/or
persons necessitating, at a given moment, a change of level.
A carrier suspended from the hook of an offshore crane will therefore in most cases fit the definition of ”lifting accessories”.

Lifting accessories – Annex IV machines? Categories of machinery to which one of the procedures referred to in Article
12(3) and (4) must be applied
List of machinery categories which require involvement of a Notified Body when machinery is not manufactured in accordance with a harmonised standard.
The term ”machinery” in the heading of Annex IV must be understood as machinery both in the strict sense and in the broad sense.- Ref. Guide to application of Directive 2006/42/EC – 2nd Edition – June 2010, §33
Item 17: Devices for the lifting of persons or of persons and goods (…)
The term “Devices” is universal, i.e. it can be:- machinery in the strict sense, e.g. a crane- lifting accessories- interchangeable equipment
Annex IV includes lifting accessories for lifting persons.

Lifting Accessories – ProblemGUIDANCE DOCUMENT, Category 2:
”(…) Such equipment is not used to attach the load to the machinery: therefore it is not a lifting accessory (although such equipment may be attached to the machinery by means of a lifting accessory such as a sling). Such equipment is to be considered as a part of the load. It is thus not in the scope of the Machinery Directive and shall not bear the CE-marking in relation to that Directive (…)”
May lead to the understanding that carriers suspended from offshore cranes are not lifting accessories.

Application of user directive 2009/104/EC Annex II, 3.1.2 ? Offshore cranes are already designed for lifting persons
Lifting persons with offshore cranes are NOT exceptional operations, but planned or regular operations
Application of national legislation does not necessarily give any further risk reduction compared to application of MD
Application of national legislation introduces a barrier to trade and impedes the freedom of movement of goods.
Application of user directive not appropriate.

Offshore crane carriers – interchangeable equipment?BY DEFINITION, NO:
Suspending a carrier from the hook does not change the function or introduce any new function on the crane, the functions are already there.
FROM MANUFACTURERS VIEW:
Manufacturer of carrier, takes responsibility for the assembled combination.
Requires in depth knowledge of the crane.
Crane types must be listed in the user manual and declaration of conformity for the carrier.
BY POLITICAL DECISION, YES:
Only minor changes to the guidance document needed to define them as IE.

Recommended solution
Condition: User manual for carrier must explicitly state that it is only intended for lifting with offshore cranes designed and manufatured for lifting persons in accordance with Machinery Directive
Modification of the guidance document is necessary
This solution will be an acceptance of EN 13852-1 as representing state of the art for lifting persons with offshore cranes, and enable conformity assessment of crane and carrier as separate objects.
