Rigging, Equipment Setting, Demolition & Plant Relocations
Heavy rigging, machinery installation, structural dismantling, and general industrial support for processing facilities.
Beyond routine maintenance, processing plants regularly require heavy, awkward, and high-risk one-time projects executed safely. That is industrial services, rigging multi-ton equipment, setting precision machinery, tearing out obsolete circuits, and relocating entire production lines. The TSS Group provides specialized rigging equipment, heavy machinery movers, and experienced field crews to execute your toughest plant modifications without compromising site safety or production timelines.

Frequently asked QUESTIONS
What specialized rigging and lifting capabilities does TSS provide for heavy equipment setting?
We provide complete heavy rigging services, including engineered lift plans, mobile crane service, hydraulic gantry systems, heavy-duty machinery skates, jacks, and spreader bars. Our crews are trained to handle critical, tight-clearance picks involving multi-ton crushers, screen boxes, and structural towers.
Can TSS relocate an entire processing plant to a new location?
Yes. We offer turn-key plant relocation packages that cover the entire lifecycle: initial site mapping and component match-marking, structural dismantling, heavy hauling, foundation preparation support, re-erection, mechanical alignment, and hot commissioning at your new site.
How do you ensure safety during selective demolition inside an active plant?
Safety begins with a detailed Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and structural integrity assessment. Our crews establish clear drop zones, temporary shoring, strict lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) procedures, and dedicated spotters to safely drop or crane-remove structural members without disrupting adjacent operating circuits.
Do you perform foundation repairs and heavy equipment regrouting?
Yes. High-vibration machinery like crushers and vibrating screens often degrade their underlying concrete bases over time. We chip out compromised concrete, install high-strength anchor bolts, set precision shims, and pour industrial-grade non-shrink epoxy or cementitious grouts to stabilize your equipment bases.
Do you offer general industrial labor support for seasonal plant outages?
Yes. We provide scalable crews of millwrights, riggers, certified welders, and industrial mechanics to support your planned winter overhauls, seasonal shutdowns, or emergency turnaround projects across stone, sand, asphalt, and concrete operations.
