Mobile crane selection, modular rigging optimization and on-site utilization for heavy industrial projects

加拿大是主要的能源生产国，石油储量位居世界第三，油砂生产是该国的主要经济驱动力。随着世界原油价格逐步上涨，艾伯塔省的石油公司正在扩大业务，投入数十亿美元用于新的生产、维护、维修和运营。由于油砂生产厂通常是拥挤的地区，新的组装作业需要在设备位置和操作方面仔细规划，以确保最佳生产率。就起重机而言，设计良好的操作包括选择、支撑系统设计、运动规划和3D验证。因此，这项研究的目的有三个；它建议(I)制定一种方法，以便能够有效地规划起重机的运行；(Ii)设计适当的支撑系统和创新的索具机构；以及(Iii)利用流体动力学原理分析风速和风向对起重机稳定性的影响。

Canada is a leading energy producer, with the third-largest oil reserves in the world, and oil sands production as a major economic driver for the country. With world crude oil prices gradually rising, oil companies in Alberta are expanding their operations, devoting billions of dollars toward new production, maintenance, repair, and operations. Because oil sands production plants are generally congested areas, new assembly operations need to be carefully planned with regards to equipment location and operation in order to ensure optimal productivity. In the case of cranes, a well-designed operation includes selection, support system design, motion planning, and 3D validation. The objective of the research is thus threefold; it proposes to (i) elaborate a methodology which enables efficient planning of crane operations; (ii) design an appropriate support system and an innovative rigging mechanism; and (iii) analyze the impact of wind speed and direction on crane stability using the principles of fluid dynamics.
