R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services Completes Rigging and Machinery Relocation Project
R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, a specialized contractor providing expert heavy rigging and machinery relocation services, completed the relocation of a machine shop for a prominent university in New Jersey (NJ).
The client selected R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services (R. Baker & Son) due to their impeccable safety record, expertise and professionalism as well as their ability to economically move the equipment under a tight schedule.
The scope of work basically consisted of the moving of various machine shop equipment from one building of the campus to another nearby building. The equipment that needed to be moved consisted of one (1) Sheldon Lathe machine, one (1) Do –All machine, two (2) grinders, six (6) file cabinets and one (1) Quincy air compressor and associated air dryer.
To move the majority of the equipment, R. Baker & Son utilized a crew of three employees along with pallet jacks and a forklift. The forklift was a Hyster model with a 5,000 lb lifting capacity. The machinery was carefully rigged and moved to the other building and then set in their specified locations.
The Quincy air compressor provided R. Baker & Son with a bit of challenge as it was located in the basement and the compressor was wider than the door openings. R. Baker & Son dismantled the compressor by removing the tank from the rest of the compressor components and then carefully rigged these items out of the basement using skids, cables, rigging equipment and the forklift. The compressor parts were then brought to the other building and then re-assembled.
The project was completed in two days without incident or injury. All equipment was moved to the nearby building without any damage.

R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services Completes Dismantlement and Decommissioning of Steel Stacks
R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services performed the decommissioning and dismantling of four (4) gunite lined steel stacks from the top of PSEG’s Glenmont, New York Powerhouse. The 20 ft diameter, 170 ft tall stacks sat on top of the 165 ft high building roof for a total height from the ground of 335 feet.
Tasks involved cleaning and remediation of over 1000 cy of fly ash from the stack bases and breeching. Material management was critical including segregation of fly ash, gunite and carbon steel for recycling.
Rigging and dismantling procedures involved detailed lift plans, weight calculations, monitoring weather conditions and wind loads, confirming ground stability and a number of other critical factors to guarantee that all lifts were safely performed.
One of the largest obstacles was the type of crane to be utilized due to a confined footprint for which to assemble equipment and which was surrounded by live power lines, cooling towers and new powerhouse which remained on line 24/7. R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services decided to utilize a M760 ton Favco tower crane erected on top of the powerhouse which was used to facilitate the lifting and lowering to ground of stack sections. R. Baker & Son erected and installed a base for the Favco tower crane and tied it directly into the building's column lines.
A 500 ton hydraulic Demag was also utilized to hoist workers in a certified man basket over 350' in the air in order to perform rigging and dismantling activities.
R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services completed the strictly-controlled and potentially hazardous project on-schedule, within regulations, and, most importantly, incident free.

Historic Look Back at Large Rigging and Equipment Moving Project for R. Baker and Son
The following story is an historical look back at one of R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services larger rigging accomplishments. For more details and photographs go to http://www.rbaker.com/rigging.php
During the early hours on a clear September Saturday morning with the majestic downtown Manhattan skyline as a backdrop, a new chapter unfolded on the flourishing Jersey City waterfront. The landmark Colgate clock, which was originally mounted on an eight-story manufacturing building built in 1924. Standing seventy feet high and fifty-four feet wide is the world’s largest working vertical face clock as noted in the Guinness Book of World Records. The clock was moved to its new location where it will continue to provide the Metropolitan area and Hudson River travelers with the time of day and an unforgettable site for years to come.
The Colgate-Palmolive Company, in taking great care to preserve the historic harbor landmark and keep it running during the harbor front redevelopment of the firm’s 34-acre site mandated that the giant clock and adjacent 90 by 60-foot billboard be relocated and up and running within a 48 hour period to minimize the length of time the clock would out of service.
To accomplish this monumental feat, the operation's logistics and rigging were entrusted to R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services of Staten Island, New York. To protect the clock’s complicated and sensitive mechanisms and meet the overall project goals, R. Baker & Son decided to move both the sign and clock and its 70-foot high steel frame in one piece rather than dismantle and reassemble them.
R. Baker & Son went to great lengths during the planning stages to assure that all concerns and aspects of this complicated project were addressed. A structural survey was performed and an engineered rigging and lifting plan was developed. Plate bearing capacity tests over the course, which the crane was to travel, were performed. Wind speed was charted for a period of two weeks prior to lift. Precise calculations were developed in order to determine static load strength to determine the exact pick points to accomplish a perfectly level lift in order to walk the two structures to their new location.
R. Baker & Son utilized numerous specially manufactured spreader bars and rigging systems in order to lift and walk these massive structures, utilizing a 250-ton conventional crane along with a 150-ton hydraulic assist crane. To perform this delicate transfer R. Baker & Son coordinated the services of dozens of highly qualified personnel made up of iron workers, engineers, electricians, operators and local law enforcement officers.
Upon final setting and field certification of welds and anchoring systems a post inspection analysis was performed to verify that all aspects of the project were performed to the highest standards of quality. With work beginning at 6:00 am on Saturday morning and completed by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday evening R. Baker & Son successfully completed the goal set before them to have the billboard and clock up and running for the hundreds of thousands of metropolitan area commuters to set their watches by on Monday morning.
