Lifting Studies
This process ensures that each lift is carefully managed and within safe lifting capacity parameters.
DIV precise lift studies take the difficulty and risk out of a complex lift. This is invaluable for safety studies and guiding engineering requirements. Whether a job involves a crane with intricate rigging, is in a confined space, or contains a huge load, we can provide all maximum outrigger load calculations for geo-technical engineer review.
Engineered critical lifts help to ensure the safe delivery of any heavy load, and DIV has years of experience doing them.
Our services include:
- Provide plan, elevation, rigging studies, and matting drawings as required
- Select appropriate cranes based on capacities, accessibility, and availability
- Size up rigging (rigging studies)
- Lift equipment design and custom rigging design
- Specify the crane location(s) and the initial position of the load
- Ensure that the outrigger / crawler loads do not exceed the soil capacity
- Inspect and certify the crane and the rigging equipment
- Check boom, load, rigging, and swing clearances during the erection and lifting phases
- Detail the lift sequence including tandem lifts
- Provide safety precautions related to wind, communications or other site specific hazards
- Perform pre-start visit ensuring the set-up of the cranes and rigging is according to lift plan
