This project encompassed the installation of large-scale industrial machinery — including turbine rotors, generator stators, boilers, and auxiliary components — for power and chemical plants.
Each component weighed between 60 and 120 tons, requiring specialized heavy-lifting equipment, precision rigging plans, and multi-crane coordination.

Greenspan Power’s heavy-lift division led the operation using computer-simulated lift planning, ensuring structural safety and load stability during all stages of movement.
Site-specific risk assessments were conducted for ground bearing capacity, wind influence, and lift-path optimization.

Engineering Scope

  • Development of rigging and lifting methodologies.
  • Coordination of multiple cranes and hydraulic jacks for controlled lifting.
  • Installation of base plates, turbine skids, and vibration-isolation mounts.
  • Alignment of mechanical interfaces between turbine assemblies and auxiliaries.
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) of anchor bolts and weld joints.

Safety & Risk Management

Every activity was performed under Lifting Plan Method Statements (LPMS) approved by third-party safety consultants.
A full-time safety officer ensured compliance with ASME P30.1 and OSHA 1926.753 lifting standards.
The project achieved zero lost-time incidents and a 100% on-time delivery rate across all sites.

Results & Outcomes

  • Completed 11 heavy-lift installations across 3 global regions.
  • Improved project setup efficiency by 35%.
  • Delivered all projects with zero safety violations.
  • Enhanced operational foundation reliability for turbine installations.
