Dear Sir:
This is in reference to recent comments received from the St. Lucie County Building Department
regarding the Engineered plans as prepared by our office. Our responses to the comments are as
listed below.
Comment: Please provide steel crane structure plan set (by owner per sheet S100 of plan set) or
submit under separate permit.
Response: Please refer to revised drawings S001, S100, S200 and SD303, dated January 28, 2022,
as prepared by our office with outline the structural design for the crane.
Comment: The crane assembly and component parts are to meet and resist the anticipated design
loads for the location installed.
Response: It is our opinion that the steel crane structure as shown on revised drawings S001, S100,
S200 and SD303, dated January 28, 2022, as prepared by our office, is structurally adequate to
support the design loads for this location.
Comment: The crane lifting capacity versus the crane's anticipated design loads are to be
determined and coordinated to ensure the crane lifting capacity exceeds that of any anticipated loads
that may be imposed.
Response: It is our opinion that the steel crane structure as shown on revised drawings S001,
S100, S200 and SD303, dated January 28, 2022, as prepared by our office, is structurally adequate
to support the lifting capacity of the crane.
Comment: The assembly of the frame along with associated steel frame members and associated
bolting must be determined to be adequate to support the loads intended.
Response: It is our opinion that the steel crane structure as shown on revised drawings S001, S100,
S200 and SD303, dated January 28, 2022, as prepared by our office, is structurally adequate to
support the intended loads.
