Lift & Fix.

On-site structural remediation, precision hydraulic jacking, and certified welding. Executed with purpose-built equipment and real-time monitoring at every load point.

Hydraulics.

Leveling and Repositioning

Hydraulic jacking plays a critical role in structural leveling and repositioning, providing precise control over the movement of large structural elements such as buildings, bridges, and heavy industrial equipment. This capability allows for correcting settlement, alignment issues, or relocating structures safely and efficiently. Hydraulic systems can handle delicate adjustments as well as substantial vertical or horizontal shifts, ensuring structural integrity throughout the operation.

Load Transfer Solutions

Hydraulic jacking facilitates efficient load movement and redistribution for a variety of structural tasks, from beam or column replacement to foundation strengthening through underpinning. By placing jacks at pre-determined points and applying controlled, incremental pressure, the existing load is lifted and carried by the hydraulic system. This allows for removing or reinforcing structural components and installing new supports -such as steel needle beams, micro‑piles, or reinforced concrete pads. Once ready, loads are gradually transferred back into the new / repaired support structure.

Research & Development.

Hydraulic System Design

We design and develop custom hydraulic jacking systems in-house that incorporate automated, computer‑controlled power units. Electronic closed‑loop control and proportional valves allow us to synchronize multiple jacks, program precise loading and unloading rates and schedules, execute complex multi‑point lift sequences, and maintain uniform movement via sensor feedback, ensuring coordinated adjustments in demanding structural operations.

Data Analysis

Our background in statistical analysis allows us to employ trend analysis, control‑chart monitoring, and outlier detection on the synchronized load and pressure readings throughout the lift and in post‑lift review. By calculating key metrics; mean, variance, and standard deviation; and applying confidence intervals, we quickly identify deviations from expected behavior. Regression and correlation analyses confirm that multi‑point load sequences remain aligned, while residual checks isolate any irregularities that could affect unloading or future lifts. These findings inform iterative adjustments to system parameters, continuously improving accuracy and reliability.

In-situ Repairs.

Building Repair

We collaborate with Consultants and Owners to execute repair strategies that accommodate limited access and tight schedules, delivering fabrication and erection solutions that extend asset life with minimal intervention.

Corrosion Remediation: Section replacement, cover plating, and web/flange splice repairs.
Structural Strengthening: Reinforcement of beams, columns, and trusses for updated load requirements.
Impact Repair: Rectification of vehicle or equipment damage in active facilities (warehouses, parking structures).
Connection Retrofits: Remediation of compromised moment and shear connections.
Limited Access Erection: Specialized material handling for basements, rooftops, and confined spaces.
Integrated Sequencing: Coordination of steel repairs with temporary shoring and unloading procedures.

Retrofit / Fitout

We execute structural modifications and architectural steel installation within constrained operating environments. Success in retrofit scenarios relies on precision; we mitigate fit-up risk by integrating our in-house Engineering and 3D Scanning capabilities.

Prior to fabrication, we capture existing site geometry and overlay proposed steelwork to identify spatial conflicts. This "digital trial assembly" ensures connection logic is valid and fabrication tolerances match site reality.

Structural Modifications: Installation of transfer beams, trimming steel for new slab penetrations (stairs, elevators, MEP shafts), and framing for rooftop additions or vertical expansions.
AESS & Feature Steel: Fabrication and erection of high-finish steelwork.
Process Versatility: Strategic selection of welding processes (SMAW, FCAW, MCAW, GMAW, GTAW) based on ventilation limits, fire risk, and positional access.
Load Transfer: Coordination of steel installation with temporary shoring and jacking sequences.
Site Engineering: Rapid resolution of field clashes and connection redesigns by our in-house engineering team.

Rebar Welding (CSA W186)

Managed by our in-house CWB W186 Certified Welding Engineer, we execute structural rebar welding for complex retrofits and seismic upgrades. Our internal engineering capability allows for rapid procedure development and technical resolutions, eliminating reliance on external approvals for non-standard conditions.

We specialize in the metallurgical evaluation of existing reinforcement, addressing the specific risks associated with legacy or "non-weldable" steel. Through chemical analysis and custom procedure qualification, we validate connections for rebar with high carbon equivalents or unknown material properties.

Metallurgical Assessment: Carbon equivalent (CE) calculation and weldability determination for existing/unknown steel.
Procedure Design: Development of welding procedures for weldable and non-standard grades, including pre-heat and cooling protocols.
Direct Butt Splices: Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) welds for axial load transfer in congested zones.
Indirect Splices: Lap splicing using structural angles or plates for retrofit connections.
Cross-Bar Welding: Prefabrication of complex cages and mats for accelerated installation.
Seismic Retrofit: Ductile connections for shear wall and column strengthening.
