The challenge Planning and engineering

We recognise that when it comes to lifting and transport We place the highest value on our people’s knowledge
operations clients are often faced with significant and and experience; we embrace technology that allows us
complex challenges, no matter what their industry or to approach the planning and engineering of projects in
where they operate. a very different way.

Standards, procedures and quality vary significantly
from continent to continent and contractor to
contractor. Skill levels, knowledge and experience can
be unpredictable and the choice of truly international
heavy lift contractors, that are fully conversant with
client systems and procedures, is limited.
So is there an alternative?
We believe there is and we are committed to challenging
the traditional approach to heavy lift and transport
projects by combining disruptive thinking with smart
technology and our extensive industry experience.
Techlift doesn’t own cranes or heavy transport. Without
these constraints and coupled with our in-depth
knowledge and understanding of the global heavy
lift and transportation industry, we have a unique
advantage over traditional contractors.
Working with our technology partners we are
developing real time 3D risk based planning and
simulation of lifting operations. This will provide an ideal
platform for process optimisation and risk assessment
by addressing the ‘what if?’ question in a virtual
environment. This approach will improve schedules,
reduce costs and increase project safety.
Data taken from site and route surveys is used to
produce detailed 2D and 3D drawings to cover every
aspect of a lifting and transportation project. These
drawings are supported by extensive engineering
calculations, project procedures and task specific risk
analysis ensuring that safety and quality are at the heart
of all our processes.

Having access to a worldwide fleet of heavy cranes and

transport from specialist regional suppliers, enables us
to objectively procure the optimum equipment required
for each project.

Working closely with our clients from a projects

inception and fully understanding their processes,
systems and work procedures enables us to deliver

technical and logistical challenges, and identify then

capital and operational cost structures, the need to
ensure the highest standards of asset safety, reliability
and performance has never been more important. At

measurable value to any heavy lift and transport project.
Our project teams have extensive experience in

global industries and locations.

experience of international legislation, standards, codes
and multi-party construction projects. However we
never underestimate the importance of understanding
local context and culture.

Techlifts engineers and site management team

work in close partnership with our client to
identify opportunities for planning efficiencies and
schedule optimisation. By proactively engaging
with subcontractors and stakeholders and fully
understanding their work scopes, we ensure that all
lifting and transport activities are coordinated to ensure
the safest and most efficient use of equipment.
By utilising the latest cloud based technology for project
collaboration and with engineering centres on opposite
sides of the world, we can literally work round the clock
to ensure deadlines are met and support our project
teams in the field.

Our people not only have a deep understanding of the

engineering and planning that is behind every heavy lift
and transport operation, they have built and operated
the cranes, driven the trailers and rigged the loads.
This unique combination of technical ability, practical
knowledge and management skills is why we have
successfully and safely delivered numerous heavy lift
projects for our clients.
