Experience

Our principal engineer comes from nearly a decade of hands-on work with construction hoists on Manhattan sites, including projects that required MTA coordination. That experience is why a hoist filing from us includes the field details a hoist crew needs: tie reactions, anchor spacing, foundation bearing and the sequence that keeps the car in service while the building rises.

New Jersey

Hudson County and Newark are building towers at a pace that outstrips the number of local temporary-structure engineers. We are based in North Jersey and licensed in New Jersey, so hoist, runback and protection engineering for Jersey City, Hoboken and Newark projects comes from a firm that can be on site in under an hour.

If the same site also keeps a sidewalk shed, read our Local Law 48 explainer on shed permit renewals, or see the LL48 renewal report service.
