What we deliver

Six services, from engineering to execution

Structural design and calculations, lift plans, planning, constructability studies, execution, and training.

  • Design and verification of structures, lifting devices, and more.

    Analysis examples
    • First global mode — flexural buckling about the minor axis.
      Linear elastic buckling analysisFirst global mode — flexural buckling about the minor axis.
    • Analysis of the wedge–anchor interaction in a post-tensioning system.

  • Lifting equipment selection, rigging arrangement, special devices, lifting points, and more.

    • Lift plan, page 1: crane elevation with boom angle and working radius, location plan, and project title block
    • Lift plan, page 2: load breakdown, crane capacity, and boom configuration table
    • Lift plan, page 3: tables of the wire ropes, shackles, and synthetic slings used in the rigging arrangement

  • Tailored solutions beyond the reach of standard methods.

    • Time-lapse of an overhead crane being lifted between two steel lifting towers in a steel plant, from day into night
    • Temporary support structure erected inside the industrial building at night, with an elevated walkway and work lighting
    • Wide view of the same temporary support structure during erection, with equipment and crew working inside the building

  • Assessment of access and routes, erection and dismantling sequence, interference analysis, and shutdown window.

    • Overhead crane erection sequence: positioning and alignment of the girder on the runway rails of the building
    • Simulation of the erection sequence with cranes positioned around the structure, used to plan access and the shutdown window
    • Simulation of a structure being lifted with a mobile crane, showing the radius and load capacity used in planning

  • A technical lead on site during execution, supervising and making decisions in real time.

    • Rigging crew preparing slings and shackles for a lift next to a port crane on a vessel
    • Technical lead following a lifting maneuver next to wire ropes aboard a vessel in port
    • Overhead crane lifting industrial equipment in a factory building, with the technical lead following the operation from the floor
    • Rigging crew gathered next to a load rigged on a timber cradle during a port load-handling operation

  • Training in the critical review and assessment of lift plans.

    • Instructor presenting on screen during a classroom technical training session, with participants seated
    • Technical training class gathered in an auditorium, following the instructor’s presentation
    • Group photo of the team at the end of the technical training, with the closing slide in the background

How we work

Four stages, in this order

Following this sequence makes planning efficient and ensures the work is carried out safely, precisely, and to the highest standard.

  1. 01

    Site survey

    Assessment of routes and access, interference analysis, and shutdown window. This is where we find out whether the intended method fits the site.

  2. 02

    Constructability, planning, and calculations

    Method definition, preparation of lift plans and schedules, structural checks, and design of lifting devices.

  3. 03

    3D animation

    3D animations of every stage planned in the previous steps.

  4. 04

    On-site supervision

    Joventino Engenharia’s technical lead is present throughout the execution, supervising the operation and stepping in when necessary. The same engineers who calculated and planned the work are in the field during the operation.

Projects

Track record

A selection of completed projects, each with a brief description of the operation, location, and scope. All projects shown were carried out in Brazil.

Technical capabilities

What underpins the method

The engineering behind project execution

Finite element analysis and structural calculation

Numerical simulations and application of design codes to structural design

Load cell rental

Load cells supplied for weighing up to 800 metric tons.

Lift plans

Plans for standard and critical lifts, from crane selection to rigging arrangement.

3D animation of operations

Visual representation of each operation, making the plan easier to understand and communicate.

Planning

Preparation of schedules and planning of operations together with the production team.

Constructability

Planning and 3D simulation

Erection simulation — belt conveyor gallery

Photorealistic 3D animation: a crawler crane positions a pre-assembled belt conveyor gallery module onto its already-installed base, on arid terrain.

Equipment transfer simulation — hydraulic gantry

3D animation: transfer of equipment using overhead crane 46PR02 and positioning of a hydraulic gantry inside the industrial building.
