How We Plan Steel Erection
Drawing Review
We review fabrication drawings to identify steel weights, lift points, and any handling requirements for each piece.
Sequence & Cranes
We plan the erection sequence and select appropriate mobile cranes based on lift weights, radii, and site conditions.
Lift Plans
We produce LOLER compliant lift plans for each crane position, including tandem lifts where required.
