Chimney Removal & Heavy Rigging Project – Industrial Crane Services at Bush Terminal, Brooklyn

Project Overview: Chimney Removal & Heavy Rigging Project – Industrial Crane Services at Bush Terminal, Brooklyn

Location: 4110 1st Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11232
Zoning: Industrial – Bush Terminal

Positive Lifting was contracted to perform a highly specialized chimney removal project within a dense industrial zone. The lift required precision engineering, expert rigging, and coordination between multiple skilled trades.

A 250-ton Liebherr LTM 1250-5.1 all-terrain crane was deployed at full capacity to execute the lift. Due to the complexity of the structure, a custom rigging plan was developed and implemented under the supervision of a Special Rigger and a Licensed Master Rigger, ensuring maximum safety and control throughout the operation.

In addition to the crane, a 150-foot man lift was used to position welders and torch cutters at height to dismantle and break down sections of the chimney for controlled removal.

This project required exact timing, clear communication, and full adherence to NYC DOB safety standards for heavy lifting and structural dismantling in tight industrial zones.
