From concept design through to on-site implementation, we deliver end-to-end support.
05. Reduced Traffic Impact
Structures are built adjacent to traffic lines and moved into place during short closures, minimizing disruption.
06. Documented Risk Management
Each heavy lifting operation is assessed using HAZID and HAZOP methodologies to ensure safety and reliability.
07. Proprietary Technologies
We use advanced Hebetec hydraulic systems and Megasteel® temporary structures for efficient and secure handling.
08. Over 40 Years of Experience
Proven expertise in managing complex operations, from small-scale to large infrastructure projects.
From Design to Execution
From Concept Design to Engineering Studies
From the earliest proposal stages, Freyssinet and Hebetec Engineering (a specialist subsidiary of Freyssinet) develop an initial concept for the structure’s heavy lifting and handling. As the project progresses, our teams refine this into a detailed design, incorporating client input to ensure alignment with project goals. We define the optimal solution based on safety, structural integrity, efficiency, work phasing, budget, and lead times.
Supply and Installation of Hydraulic Equipment
In partnership with Hebetec Engineering, we offer a full range of lifting and handling equipment. Our systems provide precise, real-time control, allowing for accurate and safe execution of each heavy lifting operation. Our specialists select and install the most suitable equipment for your project’s needs.
Supply and Installation of Temporary Structures
Most lifting and jacking operations require temporary support structures. Together with Hebetec Engineering, we deliver a turnkey service that includes the design, supply, and installation of Megasteel® and Mega-tube systems. We also perform structural checks and load control to ensure safety and performance.
Operations Execution
With the combined expertise of Freyssinet and Hebetec Engineering, our specialist teams carry out heavy lifting and handling operations with a strong focus on safety. Throughout every stage of the work, we perform regular checks on permanent structures to ensure stability and compliance with project requirements.
Freyssinet's Solutions
Heavy lifting operations can be carried out at various heights, depending on the structure or load involved—its dimensions, shape, weight, and the specific site conditions. Our teams use an assortment of hydraulic equipment and techniques to offer safety, precision and efficiency in all operation.
Sliding and rotation techniques are ideal for installing structures that need to cross over or under obstacles such as railways, highways, or valleys. These methods allow for precise positioning while minimizing disruption to surrounding infrastructure.
