Our specialtyLifting a structure
Lifting a structure
is how you save all of it
Every building we lift is a building recycled. Thousands of tonnes a year that never reach the dumpster.
Houses, apartment blocks, mining camps, control buildings, hangars, oversized equipment. The method is rebuilt for every structure: equipment adapted or fabricated on site, removable axles, extendable platforms. One small crew covering hydraulics, structure, machinery and transport.
- Residential, heavy commercial and industrial lifting
- Moving on site or to another site
- Relocation in coastal, island and northern settings
- Underpinning and excavation in tight spaces

Who calls us
When a structure has to move and the schedule does not forgive.
Mining and resources
Camps, control buildings and oversized equipment, as far as Labrador and the Far North.
Energy
Generating stations, control buildings, transport and placement of heavy equipment.
Government and municipalities
Expropriation, coastal erosion, relocation of buildings and of entire areas.
Northern communities

Engineers and general contractors
Lifting subcontracted out, with the method, the equipment and the liability that come with it.
Residential in the Islands
Foundations, drains and lifting in the Magdalen Islands, where we have been the only provider for six years.
Our method
Survey. Method. Window.
No two structures are lifted the same way. That is why we start by understanding this one.
01
Survey of the structure
We record the load, the bearing points, site access and the soil, then the constraints that decide everything else: tides, wind, ice, frost.
02
Purpose-built method
A lift plan specific to the structure, with equipment adapted or fabricated for the job. Fixed price, no meter running.
03
Delivered in the window
One crew covers hydraulics, structure, machinery and transport. We deliver inside the window we were given, first time.

A structure to lift or move?
We come to the site, survey the structure, the access and the constraints, then come back with a method and a fixed price.
