Services
Rigging/Lifting Studies
We conduct detailed rigging studies for equipment installation using mobile cranes. Our engineers analyze load capacities, crane positioning, and safety protocols for modules, exchangers, and tanks. This service ensures compliance with industry standards while optimizing efficiency for projects like oilsands plant expansions and refinery upgrades.
Transportation Studies
Our transportation studies address movement of heavy loads via highways, rail, and site routes. We design support structures for Self-Propelled Modular Trailers and hydraulic platforms. Clients benefit from route analysis, load distribution calculations, and compliance documentation for transporting equipment weighing up to 1500 tons across western Canada.
Installation Studies
We develop installation methodologies using non-conventional systems like hydraulic gantries and strand jacks. Our studies include structural analysis for lifting devices, support frameworks, and sequencing plans. This service enables safe installation of large-scale equipment such as reactors and flare stacks in challenging industrial environments.
Constructability Planning
Our team evaluates logistical challenges for equipment transportation and erection. We identify potential conflicts in existing infrastructure and develop mitigation strategies. This service integrates with major projects like pipeline installations and plant expansions, ensuring practical execution plans for complex construction phases.
Lifting Device Design
We design specialized lifting devices including spreader bars, lift beams, and jacking systems. Our engineering ensures compliance with safety standards while accommodating unique load requirements. These custom solutions support installations of equipment ranging from 300-ton columns to 1200-ton reactors in industrial facilities.
