The petrochemical industry is characterized by its complex operations, large-scale projects, and stringent safety and regulatory requirements. As such, it often requires specialized knowledge and skills that may not be available in-house. Contracting independent consultants can provide numerous advantages.
The process industry, which encompasses sectors such as metals and mining, plastics and rubber, automotive, pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, often involves complex operations that require precise lifting, rigging, moving around and handling of heavy equipment and materials.
The factory to foundation principle in building power plants emphasizes the approach of prefabricating equipment and components in a controlled factory environment before transporting them to the construction site for assembly and installation, thereby enhancing efficiency, quality, and safety.
The wind energy market is rapidly expanding as more countries and companies commit to renewable energy sources to combat climate change. The need for lifting, rigging, and special transport services is paramount due to the large scale of wind turbine components and the complexities involved in their installation and maintenance.
Lifting offshore is crucial for the installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of marine structures and equipment, as it ensures the safe and efficient handling of heavy loads in challenging marine environments, directly impacting the operational success and safety of offshore projects.
Rigging is extremely important for EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractors because it ensures the safe and efficient movement, positioning, and installation of heavy equipment and materials on construction sites, which is critical for meeting project timelines and adhering to safety standards.
Rigging is fundamental for civil construction because it plays a crucial role in the safe and precise handling of heavy materials and equipment, which is essential for the effective execution of construction tasks; this ensures that projects are completed on time, within budget, and in strict compliance with safety regulations.
Commercial construction refers to the building and renovation of hospitals, office buildings, hotels, stadiums and warehouses and is increasingly demanding with regards to (heavy) lifting, hoisting and specialised transport, which is vital for the efficiënt progression of activities while ensuring adherence to safety standards.
Lifting and special transport are crucial for the heavy steel industry because they ensure the safe and efficient handling of large steel components from manufacturing of steel to fabrication of heavy components and installation processes, which is essential for maintaining productivity and upholding safety standards.
Personal injury lawyers shall involve specialist knowledge for lifting and rigging-related injuries because these cases often involve complex regulations, industry standards, and technical details that are crucial for accurately establishing liability and effectively advocating for clients in pursuit of fair compensation.
The engagement of independent and specialised consultants with in-depth knowledge provides insurers with crucial expertise, enhances risk assessment and compliance, and fosters a culture of safety.

Lifting
Lifting is an activity during which the load is lifted in a controlled and guided manner, normally spoken from the bottom of the load, e.g. by means of a Fork Lift Truck, screw jack, rack jack, hydraulic jack, toe jack, lifting bag, etc.
Rigging
Rigging is the act of moving a load horizontally, vertically or at other angles and possibly through different floor levels, while using the appropriate lifting and hoisting equipment. It also involves erecting and dismantling cranes and hoists.
Hoisting
Hoisting is an activity during which the load is suspended and hangs freely, e.g. by means of one or more crane, chain hoist, lever hoist, hoisting portal, beam clamp, winch, floating sheer leg, strand jack hoisting system, etc.
Specialized transport
Transport of heavy and oversized objects by means of specialised transport equipment such as Self Propelled Modular Transporters (so-called SPMT), conventional modular and multi axle transporters, skidding techniques, heavy industrial roller sets and roller skates based on endless chain techniques.
