Statement of Work ______________________________________________________________________________ MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND N722 MARINE ENGINEERING DIVISION USNS PEARY (T-AKE 5) Cargo Crane No. 4 Failure Analysis Start Date: Upon Issuance of Order Period of Performance: 8 May - 16 June 2017 MCS Technical Point of Contact (TPOC): Mr. Justin H. Arrington, (757) 322-9873 (office), (757) 289-5863, justin.arrington@navy.mil Alternate Technical Point of Contact (TPOC): Mr. Daniel Norton, (757) 705-5849 daniel.t.norton@navy.mil References: (a) NSWCCD T-AKE-1 Class Cargo Crane Recertification Test Procedure (b) Technical Manual: TG811-BL-MMC-010 "Boom Crane, Electro- Hydraulic, Model EB270-87-47" (c) Technical Manual: TG811-BN-MMC-010 "Boom Crane, Electro- Hydraulic Dwg AMD-1875" (d) MSC Standard Drawing 803-7081122: Military Sealift Command General Technical Requirements (GTRs) 1. Background: On 17 NOV 2016 the USNS Robert E. Peary (T-AKE 5) had a failure of the No. 4 cargo crane while performing the 125% (27,600lb) dynamic weight test in accordance with reference (a). During the weight test the winch hydraulic motor had a catastrophic failure in which it came apart. The failure resulted in the load test weight having an uncontrolled free fall. Military Sealift Command (MSC) N722's Marine Engineering Division is tasked to perform a Root Cause Analysis to ascertain the reason for the failure. The objective of this tasking is to: 1. Complete detailed inspection, testing, and analysis of the components associated with the crane failure. 2. Provide a technical assessment as to the possible root causes of the failure. 3. Provide recommendations on inspections and maintenance to reduce the likelihood of another failure. 4. Review reference (a) to determine if the testing is exceeding the design limits of the crane or potentially causing damage to the crane components. The pieces of the winch hydraulic motor that were able to be recovered, the winch, and motor hydraulic hoses will be provided for inspection, analysis, and testing to assist in determining any possible causes or factors that could have resulted in the failure of the crane. The crane certification history is as follows: 1. The ABS registration as a lifting appliance for the T-AKE 5 was June 2008. 2. The date of the last certification in accordance with reference (a) was June 2012. 2. Scope of Work: 2.1. Determine any causal factors that resulted in the failure of the crane. 2.2. Determine if any indication of material degradation can be traced to the lubricating oil by sampling and analyzing in accordance with reference (b). 2.3. Perform a tear down inspection of the winch in accordance with reference (b) to determine condition of the internal components of the winch. 2.4. Perform visual inspection of provide components, and perform dimensional verification of all parts which appear to have failed, or deformed. 2.5. Provide physical property inspection and analysis of any points of failure. 2.6. The results from 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 shall be documented and presented with an Appleton Marine, INC and sub-component Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved expert analysis and identification of possible causal factors, if any. 3. Specific Tasks: 3.1. The Government will ship all materials to Appleton Marine, INC. 3.2. Appleton Marine, INC shall obtain the services of a certified service representative for the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Rex-Roth winch hydraulic motor for the failure analysis.
