What goes up and what moves

Structures lifted, moved and set back down, from houses to a submarine. Every project starts with the same survey on site.

The Onondaga submarine, at Pointe-au-Père

This is the job that best sums up what we do. A submarine sitting on the shore at the Pointe-au-Père Maritime Historic Site, to be lifted and carried on cribbing, between the river and the rocks.

The method proposed by an international player did not account for the tides of the St. Lawrence. Ours was built around them.

That is the kind of constraint that decides a job and exactly the kind of job we get called for.

What is coming

Detailed project files, with the loads lifted, the windows held and the methods used, are coming over the next few months. In the meantime, call us: we are happy to walk through how each of these jobs went.

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.
