Freyssinet delivers end-to-end heavy lifting and handling solutions for both design-build projects and complex maintenance operations. These high-precision tasks demand expert control of structural stresses, advanced engineering methods, and reliable, high-performance equipment.

Our experienced teams plan and execute each operation with a strong focus on safety, risk management, and structural integrity—even in constrained or high-risk environments such as dense urban areas. Every project is tailored to deliver efficient, controlled outcomes that meet the unique demands of the structure and site.

Our solutions

From rotating cable-stayed bridges to lifting stadium roofs, sliding underpass bridges, and transporting water tower tanks, Freyssinet delivers customised solutions for complex handling challenges, particularly where conventional methods are impractical, high-risk, or cost-prohibitive.

Our heavy handling capabilities include:

  • Heavy lifting – Vertical movement of structures or loads.
  • Sliding – Horizontal shifting of large structures.
  • Rotation – Controlled reorientation of structural elements.

Many projects require a tailored combination of these techniques to ensure accurate placement and structural safety. Backed by expert teams and end-to-end project management, we deliver precise, efficient solutions for even the most demanding lifting and handling operations.

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.
