When it comes to Rigging and Hoisting in underground or industrial settings, one mistake can stall a project, or worse, put people at risk. Yet many lift plans still rely on copy-paste templates that ignore real-world variables. At Patrick Mechanical Ltd., we do it differently. Every lift is planned from the ground up to ensure safety, efficiency, and zero surprises.
Why Templated Lift Plans Don’t Cut It Underground
No two lift environments are the same, especially underground. Templated plans often overlook tight clearances, unstable ground, ventilation obstacles, and conflicting trades. These cookie-cutter approaches may look good on paper, but they fall apart in the field.
That’s why our lift plans are custom-built for every job. We account for:
- Load dynamics and swing control
- Equipment access and positioning
- Environmental and structural constraints
This tailored approach avoids costly adjustments and unnecessary downtime.
Certified Riggers Who Manage More Than Loads
Many companies claim to have “ticketed riggers,” but not all riggers are created equal. Ours are trained to think like project managers, not just equipment operators.
Here’s what sets them apart:
- They lead pre-lift risk assessments
- They work directly with site supervisors and trades
- They adapt on-site in real time without compromising safety
At PML, our riggers are trusted to solve problems before they escalate. That’s how we protect timelines and people.
Lifting Without the Downtime Fines
Coordinating a major lift with multiple trades in motion is no small task. Without alignment across teams, lift windows get missed, and that means lost productivity and unexpected costs.
We solve this by:
- Planning lifts around critical path work
- Communicating with every affected trade before mobilizing
- Scheduling and sequencing lifts for minimal disruption
The result? Projects move forward smoothly, with fewer stoppages and no last-minute scrambling.
When the Stakes Are High, the Guesswork Can’t Be
Rigging and hoisting is one of the highest-risk activities on any site. That’s why we treat every lift like it matters, because it does. With PML, you get a partner who plans better, communicates clearly, and delivers safely, every time.
