OUR ENGINEERING SERVICES
Advanced Engineering Expertise
01
Residual Life Assessment
We assess the remaining service life of cargo handling equipment and crane steel structures, both when original structural drawings are available and when they are not.
> Assessment without original structural drawings
> Specialized methodology for undocumented structures
02
Buying / Modernization of Equipment
We provide independent engineering support for the purchase of new equipment and modernization of existing cranes to meet new operational requirements.
> Review of manufacturer’s structural analysis
> Review of structural and mechanical drawings
> Review of mechanism calculations
> Verification against applicable design standards
> Assessment of outreach, height and capacity modifications
03
Crane Mounting / Dismounting
We provide structural engineering support for crane mounting and dismounting to ensure structural integrity throughout all stages of the process.
> Structural integrity verification of partially installed crane configurations
> Drawing preparation for different mounting and dismounting stages
04
Structural Repair
We provide structural engineering support for repair projects on existing crane structures, from structural assessment to repair drawings and procedures.
> Independent structural analysis
> Preparation and review of structural and mechanical drawings
> Preparation and review of repair procedures
05
Heavy Lift Arrangements
We develop heavy lift arrangements based on structural analysis to ensure safe lifting, fixation and handling of large crane components and steel structures.
> Development of lifting and fixation arrangements
> Local reinforcement of the lifted structure where required
06
Crane Data & Log File Processing and Analysis
We process and analyze crane PLC data and log files to evaluate crane utilization and determine important operating parameters.
> Determination of hoist cycles per hour
> Identification and assessment of crane overload events
> Calculation of operating parameters from measurement data
07
Investigate Existing Problems of Steel Structure
We investigate existing problems in crane steel structures to determine the causes of structural damage and develop appropriate engineering solutions.
> Assessment of plastic deformation and other structural problems
> Determination of structural problem causes
> Development of potential engineering solutions
08
Crane Real Weight Measurement
We determine the actual crane weight using an original methodology based on a combination of strain gauge measurements and Finite Element Analysis.
> Finite Element Analysis
> Determination of actual crane weight
> Methodology requiring no complex weighing equipment
