OVERVIEW

Flow diagrams Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the high level activities involved in the management of monorail systems through design, installation and operational phases.

6.1

DESIGN PHASE FIGURE 1 (3 SHEETS)

The process commences with an engineering project request to either upgrade an existing monorail system, or design and install a new one. If the Safe Working Load (SWL) of an existing monorail is unknown it is necessary to check through maintenance records, archived project files etc, to determine the monorails history, initial usage and whether design calculations are available. The condition of the existing monorail, connections and support structure shall be checked for corrosion, deformation etc as this could impact the design and consequently the Works. Based on findings, the SWL of existing monorail and loads on existing support structure shall be determined, enabling engineering design modifications to monorail and/or support structure to be established. ALL design work for monorail systems with a SWL of ten (10) tonne or greater shall be carried out and checked by an external engineering company / consultant. Monorail systems less than ten (10) tonne shall be either designed / checked externally or, designed internally by CSBP and checked externally by a suitably qualified and experienced structural engineer. An Independent Design Review shall be carried out on ALL monorail systems with a SWL of ten (10) tonne or greater, to ensure proposed modifications and loading conditions comply with relevant standards and regulations. Independent Design Review of monorail systems less than ten (10) tonnes shall ONLY be carried out if specified in the Works by the Superintendent. Monorail systems with a SWL of ten (10) tonne or greater shall be reviewed and approved by WorkSafe or their authorised agency, prior to commencement of fabrication or remedial work. A new monorail in an existing plant basically has the same design steps as previously outlined, whilst a new monorail with a new support structure follows normal design activities as indicated in the flow diagram. Reference to relevant clauses in this Standard and other CSBP and Australian Standards are made in Figure 1, covering design phase activities.

6.2

INSTALLATION PHASE FIGURE 2

This process commences with an approved monorail design and includes design modifications and structural strengthening of existing structural steelwork where required. Normal project development sequence activities are followed through to Customer handover and project file close out.

Reference to relevant clauses in this Standard and other CSBP Engineering Standards are made in Figure 2, covering installation phase activities.

6.3

OPERATIONAL PHASE FIGURE 3

This process commences with a commissioned monorail system that has been handed over to the Customer. The maintenance strategy, monorail system technical details and the inspection and preventative maintenance requirements are finalised and recorded in the JDE Maintenance System, (activities commenced in the design / installation phases). Based on inspection findings, maintenance work is carried out in accordance with work priority or if an engineering modification is required, changes are implemented in accordance with Figure 1 and Figure 2. Closure details are recorded in the JDE System. Reference to relevant clauses in this Standard and other CSBP Engineering Standards and Departmental Procedures are made in Figure 3, covering operational phase activities.

7.1

BASIS OF DESIGN
EXISTING MONORAIL OF UNKNOWN CAPACITY

The safe working load of an existing monorail of unknown capacity shall be established by a search through existing records and/or a design check, dependant on results of search. This information search will include archived project records, maintenance, inspection and testing records in order to determine equipment history, initial and current usage and availability of original calculations. If required, design calculations shall be carried out in accordance with applicable standards and based on the properties and condition of existing structural steelwork members and the current loading requirements. Refer Sections 7.2 to 7.4, 12 and 24.2. Note: Where the strength or serviceability of an existing monorail or structure is to be evaluated, the actual properties of the existing structural steelwork shall be used, NOT the properties of sections currently available, which have replaced superseded sections.

7.2

CONDITION OF EXISTING STEELWORK

Existing structural steelwork, including monorails to be rated or upgraded, shall be inspected prior to commencement of design work for structural adequacy, as condition could impact on the extent of remedial and strengthening work that may be required. Refer to Section 24.2.

7.3

DESIGN STANDARDS

Monorails and supporting structures, including strengthening of existing steelwork members where required, shall be designed in accordance with this Standard and Australian Standards AS3990, AS4100 and AS1418.1 as applicable. Refer to Sections 8, 9, 10 and 12 for details. For free standing monorail structures concrete footings shall be designed in accordance with AS3600 and CSBP Engineering Standard Concrete (ES-14-202-10).

7.4

DESIGN

ALL design work for monorail systems with a SWL of ten (10) tonne or greater shall be carried out and checked by an external engineering company / consultant. Monorail systems less than ten (10) tonne shall be either designed / checked externally or, designed internally by CSBP and checked externally by a suitably qualified and experienced structural engineer. Note: Externally produced designs can be checked within the same organisation provided that the company has in place a QA checking process. If not, design shall be checked by a suitably qualified and experienced structural engineer from a different company.

For requirements on design calculations refer to Section 12.1.

DEFLECTION LIMITS

The calculated deflection of the beam shall satisfy the requirements of AS1418.1 Clause 5.6. 9.4.1 Cantilever Monorails

Calculations for the deflection of cantilever monorails shall include the effects of adjacent spans. 9.4.2 Jib Cranes

Jib Cranes that can rotate through 90 or more will impose torsional stresses in supporting building columns. Deflections due to torsional and other loading on building columns or structure shall be considered when calculating total effects.

9.5

LONG SPAN MONORAIL BEAMS

Strengthening of long span monorail beams, to increase lateral buckling strength and stability, can be achieved by the addition of bracing or ties to the top flange of the beam. Design shall be in accordance with Section 8.

10.

END STOP DESIGN

End stop connection to monorail beam, shall be designed to withstand dynamic loads transmitted by hoist trolley, in accordance with applicable standards. End stop shall be sized and positioned to suit the actual hoist trolley to be used, such that the calculated vertical and horizontal interference dimensions, between monorail and trolley end stops, shall not be less than those specified in Figure 4. Note: If original hoist trolley is to be replaced a verification check shall be carried out, to ensure minimum interference dimensions are maintained, PRIOR to putting the new trolley into service. End stops shall be replaced if needed. Refer to Section 24.5 for commissioning requirements.
