Heavy transport and lifting seminar places available

There is still time to register for Marco van Daal’s heavy transport and lifting seminar in Dubai on 7 December 2016.

The seminar will be the day before the Cranes and Transport Middle East (CATME) conference, which is being organised by International Cranes and Specialized Transport magazine and its publisher KHL Group. Both the seminar and the conference will be held at the Conrad Dubai hotel.

The co-operation with KHL will make it easy to attend both the seminar and the conference. It will be an ideal opportunity to combine a detailed, technical seminar with a day of high-level presentations covering trends in heavy transport and lifting, tower cranes, safety, and the economic outlook, said industry expert and seminar presenter Marco van Daal.

Modules

A total of seven modules will be presented during the seminar, supported by more than 500 slides and many videos. The interactive nature of this seminar will teach every level of an organisation to assess a project and detect potential disasters in the early stages and prevent them from happening, van Daal explained.

1. Terminology
2. Dimensions, weights and forces
3. Heavy transport
4. Heavy lifting
5. Jacking and skidding
6. Load outs (roll-on, roll-off)
7. Accidents and how to avoid them.

Commenting on the format, Marco van Daal said, “My seminars are very different from others in the sense that this is not a ‘sit and listen’ seminar, this is a highly interactive event where dialogues take place and questions are asked (and answered). The sessions are based on slide shows with many images and videos of actually executed projects. This gives a true and realistic impression to the audience.
