Overview
Supplying equipment is only half the job; it has to be installed correctly to perform as specified. We coordinate and supervise the mechanical installation: reviewing foundation and interface drawings before delivery, planning lifting and rigging, assembling and aligning the equipment, and connecting it to the mechanical, hydraulic and utility services around it. Work is executed under the site's own HSE plan — lockout, confined space, hot work and lifting permits — and scheduled inside the shutdown window whenever production cannot be interrupted.
Typical Applications
- Installation of crusher unblocking boom systems on existing structures
- Installation of filter presses and hydrocyclone clusters
- Equipment replacement inside a planned shutdown window
- Retrofit and relocation of existing process equipment
Typical Problems We Solve
- Interface mismatch discovered on delivery day, stalling the shutdown
- Misalignment at installation causing premature bearing and coupling failure
- Lifting plan and site access not prepared for oversize equipment
- Installation subcontractor without the required site HSE qualifications
What You Receive
- Interface and foundation review issued before shipment
- Lifting plan, rigging study and installation method statement
- Alignment and torque records signed off on completion
- Installation dossier and punch list at mechanical completion
Timeline
Typically 1 to 4 weeks on site, planned to fit the shutdown window.

Service FAQ
Do you install equipment you did not supply?
Yes, provided the manufacturer's installation documentation is available and the interface can be verified beforehand. We will say so plainly if the documentation is insufficient to install the unit safely rather than improvise on site.
Can the installation be done during a shutdown window?
That is the normal case. Planning starts from the shutdown dates and works backwards: delivery, pre-assembly, lifting sequence and the critical path on site. Spring and winter shutdown windows in Quebec and Ontario are booked months ahead, so early engagement matters.
