Overhead crane inspections by qualified expertsOverhead Cranes

IIA provides expert design engineering & consultation services for the planning and layout of industrial overhead cranes of all types (single girder, double girder, top running and under running).

We can supply you with data on the static and dynamic forces generated by an overhead crane operation, including the following:

Maximum Wheel Load

Side Thrust Load

Collision Forces

Overturning Moments (for free standing overhead crane systems)

Overhead Crane Engineering & Inspections in Ontario

These loads are essential and very important factors to consider when performing a proper analysis on all kinds of industrial buildings utilizing overhead cranes. By proper analysis, the design engineer will be capable of assessing the following important structural members:

Roof beams (in case the overhead crane is an under running, roof mounted crane)

Building columns and corbels (or stools)

Building bracing system

Building foundation

All other additional loads on the building resulting from the overhead crane supporting structure (i.e. runway beams)

Crane Placement and Foundation Design

We excel in crane placement and foundation design due to the combination of our civil engineering expertise and expansive knowledge in all types of cranes. Our team of qualified civil engineers understand what’s required and will work alongside you to figure out the best options for your project. We will assess foundation reaction forces, soil conditions, and other site-specific factors to develop rock-solid foundation designs.

How can we support you?

Shoring – Temporarily supporting your buildings, structures, trenches, or total project.
Reshoring – Supporting your concrete to let your project grow.
Formwork – Designs to mold your project.
Scaffolding – Helping you to climb to new elevations.
Swing stage/Suspended Scaffolding – Supporting your people.
Material Racking & Mezzanines – Supporting your products.

We work with you to identify your precise requirements and offer viable solutions to meet your unique needs. It is important to us that you are confident with our services to design, support, and elevate your project. When working with you, our team’s experience and expertise will ensure a final design that meets your requirements in a timely manner and within budget.

We will help you raise your crane to new heights:

Select the right crane for the job
Find the best location for your crane
Determine the erection/dismantling process
Review bearing capacities and reaction forces
Design the crane foundation or pads
Integrate tie-back design and determine location
Place your crane above grade
Design the shoring required to support your crane on slab

If you need to support your tower crane or self-erecting crane, contact us today to speak with a Professional Engineer that can deliver on crane placement and foundation design.
