2. The Situation
A car rolled off of the pier in
Roundstone, Co. Galway, and
into the harbour.
Walsh’s Recovery was
called to extract the car from
the harbour.
3. Operational Planning
The following slides show a
series of events during the
recovery mission.
If you were in charge of the
recovery operation what factors
would you take into
consideration?
4. Task to recover car
Looking at the photo above
what are your first thoughts?
5. Think about it!
Any new factors to consider?
Reevaluate your plan if you
want, or state why you are
happy to go ahead.
7. OOPS!
Why?
Possible Reasons why the
accident happened.
The crane was too small.
It was badly set up.
Both?
The operator was not certified or
sufficiently trained?
9. If at First.
Try again?
With two vehicles now clogging
the harbour, a truck and crane
from another contractor “Michael
Long” was called. They arrived
with a much larger Palfinger
crane and the Harbour was
eventually cleared. Note the one
Garda overseeing the operation.
