Cable Yarding Sample Clauses

Cable Yarding. Cable yarding involves the use of steel cables, or wire ropes, to skid logs to a truck road or log landing using a yarder that is set up on the truck road or landing. A yarder has a number of powered drums filled with wire rope, and a vertical tower or leaning boom that is necessary to elevate or provide lift to the cables as they leave the machine. The tower ("pole") or boom that provides this lift is held in position by three to eight wire rope guylines that are also stored on powered drums on the machine. With rare exception, logs are yarded uphill with cable systems. Cable yarding is usually described as either "high lead" or "skyline", depending on how much lift is applied to logs as they are yarded. High lead logging essentially attaches logs directly to the end of the "mainline" that exits the top of the yarder tower. The only lift provided is that resulting from the difference in elevation between the location of the log and the top of the tower. This system is quick to set up and is effective over short distances (generally less than 500') where, depending on terrain and tower height, the resulting lift will be sufficient to prevent the logs from digging into the soil surface during yarding. Over longer reaches some form of skyline logging is preferred to provide lift sufficient to increase productivity (reduced drag over long distances significantly increases yarding speed) and minimize ground disturbance. Skyline logging involves use of a skyline cable that extends from the top of the tower to an anchor located at some elevated point beyond the edge of the logging area. This anchor is usually a xxxxx on an opposing hill slope, but can be a suitable tree at the perimeter of the logging unit that has been climbed and rigged to provide the necessary elevation for the skyline. Logs are attached to a carriage that rides on the skyline, and the carriage is pulled to the landing with the yarder's mainline (also referred to as the skidding line in this application). Depending on which variant of skyline logging is used, the skyline can be lowered to attach the logs and then raised to provide lift, or the carriage can spool out its own skidding line through one of various mechanisms and then lift the logs towards the skyline. Either way, enough lift is provided to suspend the uphill end of logs above the ground surface unless an unusually large log is encountered or the only available skyline anchor point cannot provide enough lift.

  • Infrastructure Infrastructure serves as the foundation and building blocks of an integrated IT solution. It is the hardware which supports Application Services (C.3.2) and IT Management Services (C.3.3); the software and services which enable that hardware to function; and the hardware, software, and services which allow for secure communication and interoperability between all business and application service components. Infrastructure services facilitate the development and maintenance of critical IT infrastructures required to support Federal government business operations. This section includes the technical framework components that make up integrated IT solutions. One or any combination of these components may be used to deliver IT solutions intended to perform a wide array of functions which allow agencies to deliver services to their customers (or users), whether internal or external, in an efficient and effective manner. Infrastructure includes hardware, software, licensing, technical support, and warranty services from third party sources, as well as technological refreshment and enhancements for that hardware and software. This section is aligned with the FEA/DoDEA Technical Reference Model (TRM) which describes these components using a vocabulary that is common throughout the entire Federal government. A detailed review of the TRM is provided in Section J, Attachment 5. Infrastructure includes complete life cycle support for all hardware, software, and services represented above, including planning, analysis, research and development, design, development, integration and testing, implementation, operations and maintenance, information assurance, and final disposition of these components. The services also include administration and help desk functions necessary to support the IT infrastructure (e.g., desktop support, network administration). Infrastructure components of an integrated IT solution can be categorized as follows:

When other Employees are undertaking productive work in an area or areas not so affected then dewatering will only attract single time rates. (b) Where a part of a site is affected by surface water following a period of rain, thus rendering some areas unsafe for productive work, consistent with the Employer’s obligations under the OH&S Act, appropriate Employees shall assist in the tidying up of their own work site or area if it is so affected. Where required, appropriate Employees will be provided with the appropriate PPE. Such work to be paid at single time rates. Productive work will continue in areas not so affected.
