Heavy Lift & Transport
We are experts in the Heavy Lift and Transport market. Every day, our heavy lift engineers prove that simple and functional solutions can be the best.
We bridge method engineering with equipment design to develop the most suitable plan for any heavy transport or heavy lifting project. Our in-house heavy lift engineers are specialized in developing method statements, conducting dynamic and marine analyses, and defining sea-going loads on cargo. We ensure a safe and easy construction project by designing tailored temporary works such as seafastening, jacking and skidding systems, and self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT) interfaces.
Looking for efficient heavy lift and transport solutions? Our comprehensive service can be of help to you. From defining transport method and on-site assistance, to bespoke lifting tool design and MWS services, we can support you every step of the way. Download our Track Record and explore more.
Our Solutions
Safety is a crucial aspect in Heavy Lift and Transportation operations. To execute your project safely and efficiently, a multidisciplinary approach is beneficial. TWD gathers structural engineers, lifting engineers, marine engineers, and geotechnical engineers all under one roof so that your project can be operated with high safety standards and quality. Some of our proud solutions in Heavy Lift and Transportation include lifting equipment, jacking and skidding equipment, seafastening, piling equipment, and chain handling equipment.
Engineering Services
Reliable structural and marine engineering form the foundation for successful heavy lift and transport operations. With over 15 years of expertise, we excel in both domains. Some of our typical structural engineering scopes include (modular) lifting tools designs, fatigue-friendly connections, reinforcement structures, vessel deck reinforcement, and integrity checks for lifting objects. Our marine engineering services, among others, encompass defining and minimizing cargo accelerations, developing stability and ballast plans, conducting sagging and hogging analyses, and assessing workability, weather windows, and weather routing.
Heavy Lift Seminar
Unlock the expertise of our Transport and Heavy Lift specialists with a seminar customized to your organization’s needs. Beyond expertise in the engineering phase of a project, TWD offers comprehensive knowledge in heavy lifting. We conduct seminars on heavy lifts for companies eager to delve into common practices, key considerations, standards, and codes. Interested in a seminar? Fill out the form, and let’s explore the possibilities together.
Tailored Design
No construction is the same. We recognize the uniqueness of each heavy lift and transportation project and come up with equally unique ideas. We identify the most efficient construction method at the very beginning of your project. Based on the method discovered and your project needs, we adjust our solutions to deliver you lean and safe engineering designs for your construction projects.
