Project Elevation: Ocean Level / Rough Terrain [Civil Engineering Crane & Rigging Services]
Positive Lifting recently partnered with New York Waterway NYC to provide expert crane and rigging services for an important and unique project involving the unloading of a new cargo ship carrying a variety of materials and equipment. Our team played a crucial role in ensuring the safe, efficient, and precise unloading operations, demonstrating our capability to handle complex and high-stakes lifting tasks.
Our team was tasked with lifting various materials off the cargo ship, including small boats, safety boats, yachts, marina equipment, steel, and fleet equipment. To execute these complex lifts, Positive Lifting utilized our 250-ton Liebherr LTM all-terrain crane, putting it to the test to handle lifts with a 50-150 foot radius. This required careful planning and precise execution to ensure all materials were safely unloaded and placed.
The scope of this unique project demanded rigorous safety protocols and engineering assessments. Our engineering team conducted geotechnical assessments to determine the ground’s capacity to withstand outrigger pressure. This was a critical step in ensuring the stability and safety of the entire operation. By thoroughly analyzing the crane engineering requirements and conducting the necessary pre-lift safety checks, Positive Lifting was able to execute each task flawlessly.
Additionally, we provided the client with detailed outrigger cribbing plans, ensuring full compliance with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) regulations. This was complemented by the expertise of our Master Riggers, who carefully selected the appropriate rigging equipment and handled each lift with the utmost care and attention to detail.
This project was unique not only due to the variety of materials involved but also because it required operating under the restrictive guidelines of the New York Waterways system. Our team ensured full compliance with all safety measures, including traffic mitigation, environmental precautions, and permitting processes. Positive Lifting’s exceptional planning, adherence to safety regulations, and the use of specialized equipment allowed us to achieve remarkable results—all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
At Positive Lifting, we pride ourselves on our ability to tackle complex, high-stakes crane operations, and this project with New York Waterway NYC is a testament to our commitment to delivering precision, reliability, and exceptional service in every lift we undertake.
