Gas Turbine
Power Generation.
A modern heavy-frame turbine is 300-plus tons, years in the making, and set exactly once. We land it on the foundation to OEM tolerance — with the iron and the crews on our own payroll.
// The Corridor Is Building Gas — Fast
The turbine boom is here.
The turbine wait is the catch.
Gas generation is being built across the corridor at a pace not seen in a generation. U.S. gas capacity under construction more than doubled in a year, topping 29 GW by early 2026, with a pre-construction pipeline several times larger — driven by data-center load, coal retirements, and grid-reliability needs the corridor's cheap gas is positioned to serve.
The catch is the machine itself. Lead times on combined-cycle turbines have stretched to five to seven years, pushing developers toward fast-track simple-cycle peakers just to get power online. When a turbine that took half a decade to build finally arrives on your pad, there is exactly one chance to set it right — and that pick is ours to make.
// Why the Lift Is the Build
A heavy-frame turbine is 300-plus tons and one shot.
A current heavy-frame gas turbine arrives as a single fabricated machine north of 300 tonnes and dozens of feet long, shipped from the far side of the world and irreplaceable on any useful timeline. Setting it means landing that mass onto its foundation and soleplates to a tolerance the OEM measures in thousandths — not once it's roughly in place, but exactly, the first time.
Everything downstream keys off that set: the generator, the HRSG steel, the alignment of the whole train. A crane that treats the turbine like ordinary tonnage is a crane that costs the schedule a year. We treat it like what it is —
the single most valuable object on the site.
// The Discipline the Set Demands
OEM tolerance isn't a target. It's pass or fail.
Every turbine set we plan is built around the standards and procedures the machine is delivered under:
ASME B30.5
Mobile & Crawler Cranes
The operating, inspection, and qualification standard governing every machine and operator we put on the pad.
OEM PROCEDURE
Erection Specification
The turbine maker's rigging, lift-point, and setting procedure — GE, Siemens Energy, or Mitsubishi Power — followed to the letter.
TOLERANCE
Setting & Alignment
Soleplate leveling and final position checked to thousandths and laser-verified before the load is released.
CRITICAL LIFT
Lift Engineering
Load case, crane configuration, and lift-point analysis engineered and signed off before the machine is mobilized.
// Lifts We Make on a Gas Plant
Turbine island to balance of plant.
// 01
Gas Turbine Setting
Landing the turbine on its foundation and soleplates to OEM tolerance — the first pick, and the one that has to be right.
// 02
Generator & Steam Turbine
Generator and, on combined-cycle, the steam turbine set and squared to the shaft line of the train.
// 03
HRSG Erection
Heat-recovery steam generator modules, drums, harp sections, and stack raised and stacked in sequence.
// 04
Transformers & Electrical BOP
Generator step-up transformers and heavy electrical balance of plant set and positioned.
// 05
Air-Cooled Condenser & Cooling
ACC cell modules and cooling structures assembled by crane, often the largest elevated steel on site.
// 06
Balance of Plant
Pipe-rack modules, tanks, filter houses, and the mechanical scope that finishes the plant.
// How the Turbine Gets Set
Planned to the foundation, not just to the pick.
1
Lift study & rigging design
Load case, crane selection and configuration, and lift-point and spreader design verified against the OEM erection procedure.
2
Foundation & soleplate coordination
The set timed to concrete cure and grout, with crane positions and the pad engineered together — not negotiated on set day.
3
The critical set
The turbine landed to position and elevation on the first pick — no re-hang, no second attempt at the most expensive object on the job.
4
Alignment handoff
The machine handed to the millwrights level and on-position, ready for final alignment and coupling of the train.
5
Documented execution
Pre-lift review and a recorded pick — the set documentation the EPC and the OEM expect, generated as the work happens.
// The Iron That Sets the Turbine
Heavy all-terrains and lattice cranes. Owned.
Turbine-hall work is high-capacity-at-radius work — landing a 300-ton machine over a foundation with no room to negotiate. Our heavy all-terrain and lattice fleet is built for exactly that, led by the Liebherr LTM 1800 and LG 1550, with the LR 1600/2 crawler behind them for the HRSG steel and balance of plant.
Every one of them is owned. On a job where the turbine's arrival is the whole schedule, the last thing you want is a rented crane meeting your pad for the first time on set day. Same machines, same crews, same records — set after set.
