Special Projects

Liftech designs pile-moored floating structures made of concrete and steel. We also provide structural analyses to determine stability, safety, and resilience in a variety of tidal environments and weather conditions. Our work includes floats, with associated mooring and berthing systems, and access structures for  ferry terminals, marinas, and fireboat and emergency stations.

We have designed or reviewed systems for lifting and moving large-scale hardware and equipment for both marine and inland construction projects, including for lifts up to 12,000 metric tons. We assist in developing lift procedures, design criteria, and hardware specifications. We are experienced in a wide range of lifting applications, including nuclear power plant lifts, offshore platforms, offshore wind farms ,and blimp hangar timber repairs. 

Liftech provides services to contractors specializing in heavy rigging and iron work, including engineering and designing erection schemes for lifting and jacking heavy structures. We are familiar with designs that incorporate rigging tackle and equipment including strand jacks, can jacks, cranes, lifting brackets, slings, wire rope, strand, reeving, and more.

Liftech has experience in the design of structural support and access systems used in new construction, as well as in the repair of compromised structures.

We provide design and review services for a variety of structures that require an extensive understanding of mechanics and may not be covered by standard building codes. We are familiar with dynamically loaded structures that experience their design loading on a regular basis.
