600-ton crane for mole construction
Placing of caissons weighing up to 600 tons in 1000-m long mole under construction as part of Hanstholm Harbor project in Denmark involved particular handling problems; special crane was built by Sir William Arrol and Co, Ltd, to design developed in conjunction with Hanstholm Konsortiet; crane is carried on same 20-ft gage track as caisson transfer car; each of two moles will consist of continuous lines of precast reinforced concrete caissons, each 12.50 m in diam, set directly on chalk formation of sea bed at maximum depth of about 13 m below mean sea level; placing of caissons, caisson transfer, and crane are described; diagram showing arrangement of crane is included.
