scope:
A NASA contractor was engaged in setting pilings using a hydraulic vibratory driver / extractor(HVDE) and a lattice boom mobile crane atop a barge in the Indian River north of Titusville, Florida. Several pilings had already been successfully placed earlier that day. During crane movement to position the final piling, the load on the hook exceeded the crane's capacity and caused the crane to tip over. A closed-loop process should be used to verify the correctness of data contained in lift plans.
