Strategies for Heavy Lifting

L&T EduTech via Coursera Specialization

Overview

The specialization “Strategies for Heavy Lifting” consists of three courses: "Concepts of Heavy Lifting" "Machineries for Heavy Lifting and Design of Lifting Elements" and "Planning and Execution of Heavy Lifting." It provides a thorough exploration of heavy lifting techniques and rigging operations crucial in engineering. The program starts with basic engineering principles and advances to machinery and sector-specific applications, including power, hydrocarbon and construction industries. Key topics include force handling, friction mechanics, mechanical advantage, lifting gears, hydraulic systems and practical applications such as sky bridge installations. Further modules cover winches, pulley blocks, crane operations, oversized cargo handling and structural design principles. The course also includes feasibility studies, crane chart interpretation, rigging planning and advanced construction methods. Emphasizing practical skills and safety protocols, this specialization prepares learners for effective and safe project execution in industrial settings. Target Learners: - Undergraduate and Post-Graduate students in Civil and Mechanical Engineering - Practicing engineers involved in heavy lifting - Faculty in Civil and Mechanical Engineering - Professionals and project managers in the construction industry Prerequisites: - Basics of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics - Understanding of Construction Techniques
