Summary of Scope of Work: The work consists of rehabilitating two (2) 600-ton bridge cranes located one (1) each in the Powerhouses of Little Goose Dam and Lower Granite Dam. The bridge cranes are used for handling hydroelectric generating unit components inside the powerhouse involving routine maintenance as well as emergency repairs. The Little Goose bridge crane was installed in 1967 and the Lower Granite bridge crane was installed in 1976. Each bridge crane has a span of approximately 74 feet and a bridge travel of approximately 606 feet. Each bridge crane has two (2) trolleys that support one (1) 300-ton main hoist per trolley and one (1) 30-ton auxiliary hoist per trolley. This work includes, but is not limited to, the replacement of existing operator cabs with new larger enclosed cabs designed for maximum line of sight capability. The new cabs will include electrical circuit breakers, hoist/trolley/bridge controls, operator's chair, windows, and climate control. The electrical scope of work for the project includes, but is not limited to, the replacement of items such as the main line conductors and collectors, AC drives, motors, controls, cabinets, lights, and other associated equipment. New equipment will include power track to the trolleys, isolation transformers, limit switches for hoists and trolley travel, load cells and associated readouts, remote control for auxiliary hoist, trolley, and bridge travel, lights on the bottom of the crane, emergency stop switches, and outlets on the walking platform and in the cab. The mechanical scope of work for the project includes, but is not limited to, the repair or replacement of items such as the bridge drive gear motors and trucks at each corner of the crane, bridge travel limit switches for the north and south ends of the powerhouse, trolley gearbox oil, trolley drive shaft couplings and seals, main and auxiliary hoist gears, main and auxiliary hoist drums, main and auxiliary hoist gearboxes and gear covers, main hoist cross-shafts, main and auxiliary hoist shaft couplings, main and auxiliary hoist drum and pinion outboard bearings, auxiliary and main hoist wire rope (replace), main and auxiliary hoist rotary limit switches, main and auxiliary hoist weighted limit switches, main and auxiliary hoist upper blocks, and the main and auxiliary hoist load blocks. A critical element of the project involves the removal and precision mechanical/structural repair or replacement of the main and/or auxiliary hoist drums. Each auxiliary hoist drum is approximately 8 feet in length, has a pitch diameter of approximately 48-inches, and weighs approximately 7,000 pounds. Each main hoist drum is approximately 21'-3" in length, has a pitch diameter of approximately 80-inches, and weighs approximately 43,000 pounds. The structural scope of work for the project includes, but is not limited to, the repair or replacement of items such as the bridge walkway guardrails, lower bridge walkway access platforms, crane access gates, bridge bumpers, rail sweeps, toe plates adjacent to main and auxiliary hoist drums, and guard rail on trolley deck. Equipment bases for motor and brake assemblies shall be modified or replaced. Fall protection measures shall include the installation of fall protection anchor points, fall restraint system at the crane runway corbels, trolley skirt at trolley drive side, grab handles and safety devices at trolley access ladders, and trolley deck extensions between the two trolleys. The project includes the repair or replacement of crane runway rail and trolley rail components such as rail, rail clips, anchor bolts, and splice plates. Miscellaneous work within the project includes the painting of all new features and painting of all affected or damaged existing features, minor lead paint removal and disposal from existing components, minor removal and disposal of asbestos containing material from existing components, performance of post rehabilitation inspection, load testing, customer training on new equipment, and delivery of Operation and Maintenance Manuals, As-Built Drawings, and spare parts to the customer.
