PORTS Presentations Available on Liftech’s Website

Anna Dix, a Liftech engineer, represented the company at the twelfth triennial ASCE Ports 2010 conference last week.  About 600 people in the port and harbor development industry attended the conference.  Most attendees were from North America. 

Anna had her first experience as a conference speaker, presenting two Liftech papers.  “Extreme Loading of Wharf Crane Girders” is about wharf crane girders subject to extreme loads, their expected performance, and which loads should be considered in the girder design.  “Container Crane Recycling: Upgrade and Relocation” discusses reasons for reusing cranes and considerations for upgrading and relocating existing cranes.

The two papers and presentations are now available on our website.
