Heavy Equipment Lift and Precision Placement

This project required lifting and positioning a 40-ft long, 8-ft wide, 8-ft high unit weighing 16,000 lbs into a tight space with extremely limited headroom between the crane hook and roof structure. Our team engineered the lift plan, coordinated rigging, and safely hoisted the equipment 250 feet into position with precision placement.

At Rego Construction Group, we specialize in complex hoisting and rigging operations, handling challenging lifts where space, weight, and safety requirements demand expert planning and execution. 

This project required a complete mechanical demolition of a facility’s plumbing and HVAC systems within a strict six-day deadline. The job included removing pipe systems, electrical wiring, 22 ceiling coolers, 3 rooftop condensers, and 12 compressors.

Through careful coordination and the hard work of our crew, the entire demolition was safely completed in three 12-hour shifts, keeping the project ahead of schedule.

Rego Construction Group provides reliable mechanical demolition and industrial equipment removal services for complex commercial projects. 

This project involved excavation, foundation preparation, and construction of a reinforced concrete pad with structural piers designed to support a cooling tower system.

The existing sub-base consisted of blue clay soil, which made achieving the required 98% compaction rating challenging. To create a stable foundation, our team excavated an additional foot of clay and replaced it with layered 4-inch stone wrapped in filter cloth, building a three-foot reinforced sub-base strong enough to support the structure.

After successfully passing compaction testing of the sub-base and base materials, work continued on preparing the large concrete pad with integrated pillars designed to support the steel cooling tower structure. The foundation includes high-load rigid insulation beneath a 12-inch reinforced concrete pad, with columns tied into a dense double rebar mat to ensure long-term structural stability and prevent shifting.

Once the foundation was ready, the pad was poured, tarped and heated to maintain proper curing conditions while awaiting concrete strength break tests. The next phase included forming and pouring the structural columns that will carry the cooling tower’s steel structure.

Despite encountering a few unexpected challenges during the project, our crew remained committed to keeping the client on schedule, even working through the weekend to maintain progress. This project highlights the level of planning, teamwork, and dedication required to complete complex industrial construction work safely and efficiently.
