We provide engineering support for crane refurbishment, upgrades, and structural modifications to extend service life, improve performance, and support compliance with current operational and regulatory requirements. Our services help owners and operators adapt existing cranes to changing load demands, operating conditions, and updated standards while maintaining safety and reliability.
Our approach combines structural assessment, load evaluation, and standards-based engineering to verify existing capacity and develop modification strategies that integrate seamlessly with the original structure. We evaluate the impact of proposed changes on strength, stability, fatigue performance, and defined operating limits, ensuring refurbished systems perform reliably under both service and extreme conditions.
Engineering evaluations consider as-built conditions, material condition, connection performance, and interface with foundations or supporting structures, supporting informed decisions for refurbishment, re-rating, or modernization. We also assist with alignment to applicable standards and certification requirements, helping streamline approvals and reduce downtime.
Our experience supports refurbishment and modification activities across industrial, offshore, marine, and port environments, enabling safe and efficient return to service.
