ENGINEERED CRITICAL LIFTS

"Excellent work in an accelerated time period. Thank you for your support".

Steve Watts, Technical Support Manager, Americas
Rolls-Royce Energy, CSB,

"Thanks for all your work on designing our challenging lift at Whitby Cogen. It was good to see a lift go as planned without any unexpected problems."

Gary Epps, Electrical & Power Supply Technician
Whitby Cogeneration L.P.

Complications during a major lift can be very expensive. Crane costs, work crew wages, and downtime can easily add up to thousands of dollars even if the delay lasts only a couple of hours. A hoisting accident can cost millions and may result in serious injuries or even death.

Whether it's an extremely heavy load, a tandem lift, an installation into a "hot" area, or just a tight squeeze, sometimes you or your client will want the security of knowing that every detail has been planned.

We can help by:

  • Providing plan, elevation, rigging, and matting drawings, as required.
  • Selecting appropriate cranes based on capacities, accessibility, and availability
  • Sizing up rigging, taking into account the center of gravity
  • Designing and supplying custom lifting equipment
  • Specifying the crane location(s) and the initial position of the load
  • Checking boom, load, rigging, and swing clearances during the erection and lifting phases
  • Ensuring that the outrigger/crawler loads do not exceed the soil capacity
  • Inspecting and certifying the crane and the rigging equipment
  • Detailing the lift sequence, especially for tandem lifts
  • Providing safety precautions related to wind, communications or other site specific hazards
  • Visiting the lift site prior to the lift to ensure that the cranes and rigging have been set up according to the lift plan

Whether you want to check all aspects of a lift or you just want to check a few details, lift planning is cheap insurance that gives you, your client, and your work crew the confidence that the job will go smoothly.
