Our Port Engineers are experts in cargo movement technology. We provide crane assessments relative to maintenance and operations, physical equipment conditions, and traffic productivity. Our equipment surveys assesses the structural, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and accessibility elements of the crane. Once we understand the state of the equipment and its productivity, we can develop a strategy to maximize your equipment output based on the traffic forecast and the operating objectives. Once a strategy is in place, we can support in developing specifications, providing solicitation assistance, installation management and commissioning. As a part of Commissioning, we support owners and operators with training, project control, and warranty visits.
