HOW Will They Move Key Bridge Off MV Dali Ship?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Jeff Ostoff shows you the latest updates on the engineering disaster aftermath of the MV Dali ship striking the Francis Scott Key Bridge causing the bridge collapse in Baltimore, Md. on the Patapsco River. The video also shows how they started to remove the Key Bridge collapsed truss and roadway debris off the deck of the MV Dali ship. You'll also see the incredible new massive underwater hydraulic claw in operation, dredging up massive sections of bridge debris of the now re-closed channel. They closed this limited access channel on April 29, 2024 after the first ships to pass through the new limited access channel, a deepwater 300 ft wide, and a 35-foot deep access channel for larger ships, the first time since the MV Dali collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD on March 26, 2024. You'll see progress so far in this Baltimore bridge collapse.

They barge the bridge collapsed bridge debris to the new 10-acre laydown yard used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to process wreckage from the Francis Scott Key Bridge site. An estimated 50,000 tons of concrete and steel collapsed; once removed, the wreckage is sorted and transported two miles away by barge to Sparrows Point. Debris and wreckage removal is ongoing in support of a top priority to safely and efficiently open the Fort McHenry channel.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for your evaluation of the debris removal. I am blown away as to the speed of this operation has been, and the competence of the engineering team that they have gathered to accomplish it. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for discussing the support needed for Longshore men! There are still thousands of non-union folks that also needs community support.
My thinking on the truss on the port side of the Dali is different from your approach. I believe the bottom will be left on top of the Dali while the top portion is cut off. Your idea of suspending the entire piece would requires too many cranes over an extended period of time. Plus the weight shifting would be highly unpredictable. Removing as much weight from it without disturbing its stability will most certainly be the approach.

Pretty sure I heard in one of the many press conferences that they plan to use shaped charges and blow the entire truss up. All cranes combined can't lift that thing anyway, this is obvious even to a layman (if those 'smaller' parts are around 500 tons, the entire truss must be 10.000+ tons). Also the containers have not been removed for weight reduction but to make space for this operation and create a safety zone.

Yup, multi crane lift is a recipe for disaster. I still think they should have brought in a bigger crane to pick up this section. All may go well, but too much is left to luck imo.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I agree with your suggestion that they will likely remove that span from the top down, thus relieving the weight stress from the lower trusses and also from the Dali. It will necessary to determine in which order the pieces are cut free and removed to minimize the risk that the span weakens enough to fold as they're working on it.
Jeff, they will be using precision cutting charges to cut the steel so no workers will be in harms way, because any shift in the weight not only could possibly refloat the ship upwards completely shifting the debris. they would rather use precision demolition charges / controlled demolition. This was briefly mentioned in one of the questions at the end of Tuesday's press conference.

The shrapnel from a shape charge cutting steel can throw shrapnel pretty far. I remember when they were imploding a power plant in California a bystander was watching from 2,000 feet away. He got hit by a piece of shrapnel and it cut his leg off. I hope they don't have any sightseers nearby. I hope they can protect the gas pipeline too
Seeing that roadway draped across the bow and the past four decades I've traveled across it. Truly chilling!

I'm still on team shaped charges. When the tension on those beams is released, I wouldn't want to be within 100 ft of them. Also supported by an infographic that is on Sal's video from April 19th (Baltimore Update w/William Doyle) at 2:32. Logisticsinsider has a screenshot on their website. It says "Explosive cutting, Span 18, section 4". I'm sure the Army Corps has probably already analyzed the most likely modes of collapse to figure out where to cut. Once the stresses are off, chessie can come in and they can cut to smaller chunks with torches.

Worker safety is only one issue. The other is the ship's safety. I wouldn't be surprised if some charges are used, but its going to be limited because they can't risk the structure sliding off the Dali and gouging a hole into its side.

You will be amazed when they finally put properly positioned "Shape Charges " on the remaining portion of the 5K tons of bridge . They will take a wedge out of it and pull the remainder off the deck with the top rails of the bridge and with a delayed charge cut it into manageable pieces as it jumps deck.
Fantastic coverage, thank you! BTW we seafarers say those ships 'sailed' not 'unloaded'. Unloaded means cargo was removed from a ship or discharged in port. But everyone knows what you meant.

Love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Glad you did a video on how they might take the bridge off the Dali! I was having a discussion a few days ago with my brother (AF Col. Retired), who said the most efficient way would be to use explosives. Apparently there are some that have a real low blast profile? He's an engineer and his take on it was that the same people who demolish buildings in huge cities like New York would know exactly where the pieces would fall if they used explosives because it's their 9 to 5. He seemed to think if they set the explosives to go off at the same time and placed them so they separated the beams in the water from what was sitting on the boat on each side it would make clean-up faster as you can get the span off the Dali more quickly and get her out of the picture so the rest of the work could be focused on. He said he thought he read somewhere the keels were already damaged from the ship twisting so the Dali would be a complete loss. Can't wait to see how they do it!

Get the Army Core of Engineers to plant Thermite and Cordite charges at the Truss Plates, Navy Seals go underwater to key points as well, then clear the area and blow the bridge truss into manageable chunks in one second !! Model the work so no chunk is heavier than 1,000 Tons so "The Claw" can work effectively. Clear the bottom with "The Rake" and "The Dust Pan" !!
Jeff great job , following you daily.
Love it thank you sir and those who make are country work God bless you.

Nice action plan. I thought about the suspension method but you had the cranes.
Dam bro that was epic I wish I still worked in the ship yard thank you. You and your true working heros thanks
Jeff, appreciate the great videos and evaluations along the way. Kudos! With regards to the Dali’s removal, what if they lift as you suggested, but instead allow the Dali to reverse under power along with the assistance of a few tugs pull her backward and away? Thus freeing the Dali and allowing salvage and removal of the debris of the bridge to be made easier.
When you fly into the BWI airport make sure you have your phone ready. You’ll get a clear view of the bridge stuck on the ship. It makes for an incredible picture.
I like the size of the claw is the answer keep showing your videos double thumbs up
Great pictures!
Excellent video footage
I think the engineers might use explosive cutting charges to section the remainder of the bridge into the water.It could be done from the underside so it folds back off the deck of the Dali without having guys endangered by using torches to cut the sections.

Wonder if, since they have the resources on hand, if they will put out a contract to remove more of the bridge approaches then just the minimum necessary to open the Federal ship channel?
I would start on the left side of the ship. Then on the RIGHT side of the truss on the right side of the ship using the Dali to support the left side of the truss as you work. Maybe put a buoy with a cable attached to multiple parts of the truss so if, when it sinks, you can find it.
Great video, very interesting 🤔👍🇺🇲
Once again,thank you for the detailed update! Not like the regular news whos like...another piece moved today! Thats it! Lol

They said that they were going to use shaped charges to clear the Dali bridge section, and then use a dredge along sides to try to re-float it.
Jeff im here watching all your pictures So this next one coming up your talking about splitting bridge in pieces and getting it off dali im ready to watch it 😎 and hopefully they find missing 2 people people but i think there on the bridge by the dali on anle, sorry about this thought😢
I suspect that the barge of shipping containers are the ones that were removed from the Dali. The Dali is floating high in the stern to keep the bow firmly aground. The clam shell is better suited to the removal of removal of the bridge deck and sediment, dredge, from the channel. There is video of it working in conjunction with a 'wrecking ball' remove solid debris.
That's the whole thing right there, those large ships should have always been under tug control going through there. Hopefully they'll continue this safety practice and avoid another PREVENTABLE CATASTROPHE

A ship the size of Dali can't be stopped that quickly by two small tugs. Only thing that would have changed if tugs had been present in that configuration was the front tug would have been smashed into the pillar by Dali. What needed to happen was the installation of suitable bollards/dolphins to ground even large vessels before they can strike the bridge supports.

Missed you Jeff- it's been a few days. Like your style of reporting. My thoughts on pulling that large truss section would be much like you said, but stabilize it with 4 of the heaviest lift cranes at the corners. And wrap heavy straps underneath the entirety of the truss, and use flotation bags to swing the truss up off the bottom. The truss could then be dragged partially submerged to the reclamation area. They already make bags that can float cars, and I know custom bags have been made in attempts to re-float ships and at least one sub. I'm pretty sure that once they get the weight off the Dali bow, it will want to jump up like a cork. Once water floods in under the hull and the imprint of the hull on the bottom, it will be so slick that the ship will slide out backwards with little effort. Too bad the Unified Command isn't scouring media like this for ideas because I'm sure there are dozens of ideas like this one that could work. Thanks for another awesome report Jeff, and I look forward to the next one!
I read that the Army Corps of Engineers were talking about using small charges to blow that piece of the bridge free that is resting on the Dali . They said it is a safer operation then putting torch operators onto that perilous Ibeam piece and cutting it loose . I don't know if things have changed since I read that
Did you See the Size of the Jaws on that Dude ? WOWsers! 🤔👍
Thanks, at least ships are moving, but why bring 20/40s in on a barge I wonder? _Missed the stream as I was making brekky. Breakfast was nice, cool new claw too._
That claw is awesome! I could watch that baby all day. Thanks for another great video.
I don't think the removal of the large bridge truss will work that way. I think you're underestimating the weight of the structure - if that section Chesay 1000 carried off was 560 tons, that section that has one end resting on Dali is at least 10000 tons. Even if half of it is resting on the bottom, the combined capacity of all the cranes on scene will not suffice to keep the load from dropping. However, I seem to recall some slide from the Army CoE that mentioned explosive cutting of the truss structure to get it off the Dali. I'm not a structural engineer, but I think with enough cutting points the truss will just turn into a lot of small(er) pieces that will tumble into the water without doing too much damage. They might even use the Chesapeake 1000 to hold up the piece that's directly on top of Dali so it doesn't need to tumble off but I'm not sure they're going to expose that crane to the risk of shrapnel from the blasting. After the blast, they can just use The Claw to collect all the pieces.
Flauting cranes letting work together to hold such a big weight is very dangerous.........when there is one that is going a bit out of balance,everything collapse
Taking it apart from the top down, leaving the bottom lengthwise girders for last, is probably the safest and easiest way to do it.
Instead of cutting it into sections, you could slice the top half so the bottom half is in place but with less weight on top. If rigidity is a problem, you may need to temp add bars to keep it together so it doesn't fold up or use the cranes to keep it from falling into to the water.
I think maybe they could spilt the truss down the middle lengthwise leaving a larger area for load support and two cranes could keep one side standing while they work cutting up the other.
8:05 there needs to be 2 barges on either side for a mounting foundation. The barges should be only lightly mounted and designed so the Dali can rise as they remove pieces. Scrap truss can be used as stiffeners. All the loose and lightly stressed truss can be removed first. This is a game of horizontal jenga/pickup sticks. If I haven't made it clear, the barges are to support the main section of trusses to allow Dali to rise as pieces are removed.
Mutiple Crane lift would be possible with the Capacity of the Cranes there it is surely in the planning or discussion. Ive worked big scrap jobs in cleveland and would love to work this job.
Dear Jeff, is the audio track automatically translated? Is it a KZread option or a separate tool? Quality is not perfect but understandable.
Was looking earlier pics and the starboard side of the Dali had a lot more of the truss, span 17 was a mess, but I somehow missed how much was gone until today.
3:18 The type of claw I need to open one of those stupid vacuum sealed jar of pickles
50/50 chance is they might clear what they can on the right side or Starboard side make sure everything is clear. Then slow cut parts of the bridge away to try to get as close to the weight. Because we all know the cranes a lone can't lift that huge section. Cut as close as possible to the water but try to keep the joints in tact so it able to stay up right. Lift what they have so off the ship, pull it out and keep going with the under water cutting and clearing. But their is sure many way they can do the lift, cut, move and all. So much going on in one small area and so many people. They doing amazing job clearing.
*RESPECT THE CLAW!*
Good ideas Jeff!! They could maybe just hold it long enough to pull the Dali backwards.
With all due respect, RORO = Roll on/Roll off = car carrier. Cars load in one end and unload at other end simultaneously. Still great info. Thank you.
Are they making a time lapse video displaying the pieces being removed one at a time in a few short minutes?
Are those hydraulic lines snaking over from the crane? Or is there a hydraulic pump on the claw itself?
I think the channel only opened to allow the trapped ships get out, and let in ships that will be staying in port for a while. They could start cutting it horizontally So the only part that needs support would be the bit they are working with. Until they get down a little. interesting video 2x👍
I think that they will remove the truss in sections, starting from the top of the truss.
They'll likely have the larger crane hold it still and cut the upper section off in small pieces that the smaller cranes can grab until it's small enough for larger sections to be taken safely.
In And Out! That's. The Way A Port Works!

I can think of an alternative: Hold a large section that rests on the Dali with the Chesapeake 1000. Then locate some dynamite on the trusses to cut it from the remaining part. The cuts should be made so that the larger part does not touch the Dali when it falls down into the water. And they should enable the larger part to shear clear off of the section held by the Chesapeake 1000. Lower cuts closer to Dali, uppercuts more away. Alternatively that section could be secured by trusses to the left remainder of the bridge. So that you have that section and the remainder resting on the Dali without tipping when the right portion gets cut off.
Jeff- Not hearing about the two workers in pickups, I’d point out that the pickups probably floated and could’ve floated away from the bridge, could be downstream.
