We provide engineering support for heavy component change-out operations, ensuring safe, controlled, and well-planned removal and replacement of large or critical components. Our services support complex change-outs involving significant loads, constrained access, temporary conditions, and interaction with existing structures and operations.
Our approach integrates structural evaluation, load path assessment, and construction sequencing to confirm that both existing and temporary conditions can safely support the change-out activities. We focus on minimizing operational disruption while maintaining safety, stability, and compliance throughout the process.
Engineering considerations include temporary load redistribution, support conditions, stability during intermediate stages, and environmental effects, ensuring the structure and supporting systems perform reliably during removal, handling, and installation phases.
Scope of Services
- Evaluation of existing structural capacity and load paths
- Assessment of temporary and intermediate load conditions
