When Heavy Rigging Support Is Needed

Heavy rigging is typically required when equipment weight, access constraints, or operational risk make standard handling impractical or unsafe.

Heavy Component Removal or Installation

Pumps, motors, gate actuators, valves, or hydraulic assemblies exceeding manual handling limits

Limited Access or Confined Spaces

Tank tops, elevated platforms, underground vaults, or equipment rooms with restricted entry

Precision Alignment Requirements

Equipment that must be positioned within tight tolerances or specific orientations

High-Risk Operational Environments

Active facilities where dropped loads, equipment damage, or personnel risk must be minimized

Tight Project Timelines

Shutdown windows, inspection deadlines, or time-sensitive repairs requiring coordinated lifts

Multi-Trade Coordination

Projects where rigging must integrate with mechanical, piping, or electrical work
If the lift requires planning, load calculations, or site-specific coordination, AIM can provide the rigging support needed.

All rigging work is coordinated with facility staff and follows site-specific lift plans and safety protocols.

How AIM Approaches Rigging Projects

Heavy rigging requires planning, coordination, and disciplined execution to ensure safe, controlled lifts.

Lift Planning

Review equipment specs, site conditions, access constraints, and develop lift plan with load calculations.

Site Coordination

Coordinate with facility staff, other trades, and conduct pre-lift safety briefings with all personnel.

Controlled Execution

Execute lift with constant communication, load monitoring, and adherence to safety protocols throughout.

Verification & Documentation

Confirm placement, secure equipment, document lift completion, and provide records for project files.
This approach ensures controlled lifts with minimal risk and maximum coordination.
Every rigging project follows the same disciplined process regardless of equipment size or complexity.

Safety, Compliance, and Reliability

All rigging services are performed under strict safety standards with comprehensive documentation.

LOTO & PPE

Full lockout/tagout compliance and proper personal protective equipment on every lift.

Site-Specific Lift Coordination

Alignment with facility protocols and coordination with site personnel for safe operations.

Incident-Free Since 2015

Zero incidents maintained through rigorous safety practices and crew training.

Fully Insured

Comprehensive insurance coverage with COI available upon request for all rigging work.
Every lift is treated as a critical operation requiring full planning and safety protocols.
We don't compromise on safety, documentation, or coordination - regardless of lift complexity.
