(iv) Inspection & Maintenance Guidance Notes for Mobile Structures
All mobile structures should be inspected prior to any moves to determine the integrity of the
structures has not been compromised. All components should be securely fastened.
Upon completion of your operations, all tools, materials, debris, etc. should be removed
and all platforms left in this condition. Before usage of structure and prior to structure being
moved, all platforms should be checked to ensure that they are free of any loose items.
All personnel should be clear of structure prior to movement of that structure. However, if
it has been determined by the person in charge that it will be necessary to have personnel
on board the structure to assist in the safe passage of the structure then the following is
necessary:-
i. Check with Turner OCTO
®
Design Dept. to ensure that personnel can be positioned on
board the structure.
If Item (i) has been affirmed then temporary guardrails have to be placed in position to
protect those on board when the structure is moved.
It is absolutely necessary to ensure that brake locks are in the off position during all
movements of the structure to avoid unnecessary damage occurring to the Castor wheel
and Jack arrangements or “flat spots” appearing on the wheel.
When the structure has been successfully moved to its required location, and is stationary,
all brake locks must be on.
Protruding items are potentially hazardous and may cause injury to personnel or damage to
surrounding areas. To prevent such incidents occurring all protrusions should be removed, if
possible, or protective measures deployed before movement of structure.
If structure is to be stored outside, said structure should be adjoined to other such structures
in storage area to add stability and suitable anchorage / ties utilised to prevent overturn
or movement due to prevailing weather conditions. Deck locks should be on and further
supplemented by other means such as cable ties especially if exposed conditions are
expected.
When structure is stored and not in use, access to the structure should be restricted by any
means necessary at all access points on all structure.
