************************************************************************************* Over the road considerations: -
Overall height of the building (from bottom of
sill to peak)
-
Overall width of building
- the
traveling path of the building (widest point of the building x height) must be as wide as the load itself
- Overhead lines, bridges or overpasses
to consider
-
Obstacles in the path: poles, ledge, big rocks, other buildings
- Trees need limbing or cutting (think of the traveling path of load)
- Is it more ecomonical to have power
lines lowered or cut and move roof as its own unit. Usually distance and number of power lines dictates this answer
Generally speaking,
in Maine the last line on any given pole is hung at 18'. Our rigging will add 3' to the overall height
of the building; if the structure is 14' or less, the loaded height will be 17'6" (with springboard) and should
travel nicely under most wires. Rolling structures on site holds its own considerations: - Site will have to have enough room to roll
- (width or length of building x 2)
- Rolling
path in relationship to water and septic system
-
Obstacles in or around the rolling path (trees, shrubs, plants)
- What will the building set on in new location
- All power to the building will have to
be disconnected prior to move
-
Are you turning or rotating the building
Deciding to level a building
opens the door to the following considerations: - to what point will you level too
- level as best as practical with potential inside repair work to do
- or level till damage starts to surface in living area
and leave it at that
- are
there any bench marks we can use
- fireplace
base
- chimney base
- partial foundation or area that has not moved
- are there unseen factors to consider
- work done to building while it was out of level
- window/door installed to look level but is not truly
plumb
- once the building
is level - the window/door may not work
- if little work was done (shimming, trimming or planing) items not currently working
may be working when we are finished
-
after leveling the building what will it set on
- will
we shim of what is existing
- set
new pads/sonotubes or other "foundation" type
