Rigging & Equipment Setting

Certified rigging solutions delivering safe, accurate equipment placement for demanding industrial environments.

Heavy equipment installations at Titan Mechanical combine meticulous planning with certified rigging expertise. From 50-ton vessels and industrial boilers to large HVAC units and manufacturing presses, our experienced team manages the complete process—planning lift sequences, coordinating crane operations, and ensuring precise placement that sets the foundation for successful project execution.

Rigging and equipment setting form critical components of nearly every major mechanical installation we undertake. As certified Local 50 pipefitters with specialized rigging training, our field professionals bring technical knowledge and practical experience to safely handle equipment that demands exacting precision. Through detailed rigging plans and close coordination with crane operators, millwrights, and installation teams, we minimize risk while delivering equipment placement that meets exact specifications.

EXPERIENCED TEAMS MANAGING COMPLEX LIFTS

The success of equipment installations hinges on thorough planning and skilled execution. When vessels weighing 50 to 100 tons must be lifted into position, or when boilers need removal from tight mechanical rooms, having experienced professionals who think through every detail becomes essential. Rigging plans address load calculations, lift points, clearance requirements, and safety protocols specific to each installation.

Titan’s approach integrates rigging and equipment setting with our broader mechanical capabilities. This coordination ensures equipment arrives on site when needed, rigging operations proceed on schedule, and installation teams are ready to continue work immediately after placement. From automotive facilities with large presses to manufacturing plants with process equipment lines, our crews have successfully managed diverse installations across industrial environments.

COMPREHENSIVE RIGGING & EQUIPMENT SETTING SERVICES

Detailed lift plans that account for weight, dimensions, clearances, and site conditions. Our planning process identifies potential challenges before mobilization, ensuring safe, efficient execution with appropriate equipment and personnel.

Certified rigging operations for industrial equipment including vessels, tanks, boilers, chillers, HVAC units, manufacturing presses, and process equipment. We coordinate crane operations ranging from standard lifts to complex 600-ton crane requirements for the most demanding installations.

Accurate positioning and leveling of equipment to exact specifications. Equipment setting ensures machinery is placed correctly for subsequent millwright work, piping connections, and electrical tie-ins—establishing proper foundation for long-term performance.

Strategic planning and execution for moving machinery within facilities or removing machinery during retrofits and upgrades. Our demolition planning for equipment like boilers includes comprehensive material and labor assessment to ensure smooth, safe removal.

Seamless handoffs to millwrights, pipefitters, and other trades following placement. Once equipment is set and secured, our installation teams proceed with piping connections, alignment work, and system integration.

Virtual Design & Construction technology provides digital roadmaps showing placement, clearances, and installation sequences. VDC visualization helps facility managers understand the process before equipment arrives on site.

STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR SAFE EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT

Equipment rigging projects benefit from our systematic approach to lift planning, safety assessment, and resource coordination. Our certified rigging professionals evaluate each installation, considering equipment specifications, site access, and coordination requirements. When complex lifts demand specialized crane capacity, we leverage established relationships with crane companies to secure appropriate equipment—from standard cranes to 600-ton capacity lifts for the most challenging installations.

VDC technology supports our planning by providing digital visualization of equipment placement within existing facilities. We can scan installation areas, model equipment virtually, and identify clearance issues before mobilization. This digital approach reduces field surprises and allows facility managers to review placement plans in advance.

Rigging plans developed for each project specify lift sequences, personnel requirements, safety protocols, and coordination with other trades. The goal is executing lifts as smoothly and safely as possible, minimizing disruption to ongoing operations while protecting personnel and equipment throughout the process.

  • VDC enables precise pre-planning of equipment placement digitally, allowing our team to identify clearance issues, access challenges, and rigging requirements before equipment arrives on site, preventing costly delays and field modifications.
  • VDC provides digital roadmaps for installation teams, showing exactly how fabricated components and equipment integrate into existing facilities, reducing confusion and ensuring efficient execution from rigging through final installation.
  • VDC supports coordination between rigging operations and subsequent trades, ensuring millwrights, pipefitters, and electricians understand equipment placement and can plan their work accordingly for seamless project flow.
  • VDC allows facility managers to visualize equipment installations before execution, providing confidence in placement decisions and opportunities to address concerns during planning rather than during costly field operations.
