Heavy Transport & Installation

When 2.500 tonnes has to move and arrive intact, the engineering is the difference between a job and an incident!

In this market

We deliver engineering for safe and efficient heavy transport & installation

We deliver engineering for safe and efficient heavy transport & installation

Heavy transport and installation projects leave little room for uncertainty. We help clients plan, analyse and execute complex transport, lifting and installation operations, combining advanced engineering with practical experience to deliver solutions that work safely under real operating conditions.

Our expertise covers the complete engineering scope, from transport studies and route assessments to grillages, sea-fastening systems, lifting arrangements, motion analyses and installation procedures. Whether transporting structures over inland waterways or open sea, we design every component of the transport system to perform safely and efficiently.

Complex operations require more than calculations alone. We consider vessel behaviour, dynamic loads, crane limitations, weather conditions, operational sequences and local regulations to ensure every engineering decision is practical, compliant and executable.

Whether supporting a single lifting study or delivering the engineering for an entire transport and installation campaign, we work alongside our clients to solve challenges quickly and confidently. The result is engineering that reduces risk, supports efficient execution and gives project teams confidence when it matters most.

The specialists

So many different specialisms under one roof. For such a small company, and in Groningen too, I think that's pretty remarkable.
