Norfolk Southern Railway Company <br />Norfolk Southern - Special Provisions for Protection of Railway Interests <br />July 23, 2018, Updated March 11, 2021 <br />Appendix <br />E-9 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2. Submittal Requirements <br /> <br />a. In addition the submittal requirements outlined in Section 5.A.2 of these <br />provisions, the Contractor shall submit the following for approval by the <br />Railroad Engineer: <br /> <br />(1) As-built beam seat elevations - All as-built bridge seats and top of rail <br />elevations shall be furnished to the Railroad Engineer for review and <br />verification at least 30 days in advance of the erection, to ensure that <br />minimum vertical clearances as approved in the plans will be achieved. <br /> <br />(2) A plan showing the location of cranes, horizontally and vertically, <br />operating radii, with delivery or staging locations shown. The location <br />of all tracks and other Railroad facilities as well as all obstructions such <br />as wire lines, poles, adjacent structures, etc. must also be shown. <br /> <br />(3) Rating sheets showing cranes or lifting devices to be adequate for <br />150% of the actual weight of the pick, including all rigging <br />components. A complete set of crane charts, including crane, <br />counterweight, and boom nomenclature is to be submitted. Safety <br />factors that may have been “built-in” to the crane charts are not to be <br />considered when determining the 150% factor of safety. <br /> <br />(4) Plans and computations showing the weight of the pick must be <br />submitted. Calculations shall be made from plans of the <br />proposed structure showing complete and sufficient details with <br />supporting data for the erection of the structure. If plans do not <br />exist, lifting weights must be calculated from field measurements. <br />The field measurements are to be made under the supervision of <br />the Registered Professional Engineer submitting the procedure and <br />calculations. <br /> <br />(5) The Contractor shall provide a sketch of all rigging components from <br />the crane’s hook block to the beam. Catalog cuts or information <br />sheets of all rigging components with their lifting capacities shall be <br />provided. All rigging must be adequate for 150% of the actual weight <br />of the pick. Safety factors that may have been “built-in” to the rating <br />charts are not to be considered when determining the 150% factor of <br />safety. All rigging components shall be clearly identified and tagged <br />with their rated lifting capacities. The position of the rigging in the <br />field shall not differ from what is shown on the final plan without prior <br />review from the Sponsor and the Railroad. <br /> <br />(6) A complete erection procedure, including the order of lifts, time <br />required for each lift, and any repositioning or re-hitching of the crane <br />or cranes. <br /> <br />(7) Design and supporting calculations for the temporary support of <br />components, including but not limited to temporary girder tie-downs <br />and falsework. <br />EXHIBIT C
