Freyssinet provides end-to-end solutions for lifting and handling heavy structures in both design-build projects and maintenance operations. These complex tasks require precise control of structural stresses, advanced engineering, and reliable, high-performance equipment.
Our expert teams ensure safe execution, structural integrity, and site protection, even in the most challenging environments such as dense urban areas. With a strong focus on risk management and safety, Freyssinet delivers efficient, controlled operations tailored to each project’s demands.

Our solutions

From rotating cable-stayed bridges to lifting stadium roofs, sliding underpass bridges, and hauling water tower tanks, we provide tailored solutions—especially when conventional methods are impractical, risky, or costly.

  • Heavy handling includes:
  • Heavy lifting: Moving a structure or load vertically.
  • Sliding: Shifting a structure or load horizontally.
  • Rotation: Adjusting the orientation of a structure.

Complex projects often require a combination of these techniques to achieve precise positioning. Our expertise, specialized teams, and comprehensive project management ensure efficient and successful execution.

Freyssinet offers customised lifting and handling solutions adapted to each project’s configuration, from design to execution. Depending on the structure’s size, shape, weight, and site conditions, operations may be carried out at varying heights using Strand Lifting or Precision Jacking

Freyssinet uses sliding and rotation methods to install or remove heavy structures over or under obstacles such as railways, highways, or valleys. These operations can be performed at ground level or height and are suitable for new construction, dismantling, or partial structure replacement.
