Building Relocation & Lifting

What must be assessed before lifting a whole building?

Feasibility depends on structure, foundations, target level, surroundings and use. Support, force transfer, synchronization and monitoring are project-specific and cannot be decided by floor area or storey count alone.

Define objectives and boundaries

Explain the reason for lifting, target level and intended use. Provide services, nearby-building and access information. State relocation and tilt-correction objectives separately if relevant.

Using previous examples

Existing lifting and relocation cases explain work types. Feasibility, methods and schedules must be established anew for each building.

Information to prepare

    General information for project discussion. Specific decisions require site investigation, testing and professional design.
