Independent Lift Planning & Assurance · Québec & International
NOVAWIND is the independent planning & assurance partner for heavy lifts and exceptional transport. We plan, verify and supervise the critical moves — so the right contractors execute them safely. From feasibility study to on-site delivery.
Independent firm · No owned equipment · Impartial advice · Zero conflict of interest
Four complementary pillars — engaged individually or as one integrated mandate, for any project that relies on large-capacity cranes.
We plan every lift before it happens — crane selection, method statements, rigging, ground-bearing and feasibility. Every move specified and documented before the first machine reaches site.
Your independent safety net. We review third-party lift plans, verify the numbers, act as Appointed Person and supervise on site — owning no equipment, so our only interest is that the lift is right.
We keep your lifting operations compliant and audit-ready — gap analysis against current standards, risk reviews, ongoing monitoring, and root-cause investigation when something goes wrong.
We get oversized loads to site — route surveys, permits, SPMT specification and convoy coordination, from first reconnaissance to delivery at point of use. Québec, Canada and international.
We own no equipment and sell no cranes. So we have no reason to push one contractor, method or machine over another. You get the objective view of an independent lifting specialist — not the pitch of an operator with a fleet to fill.
15+ years on real job sites — wind farms, mines and ports across Europe and Africa. The people who write your lift plans are the same people who have stood on site and run those operations themselves.
We make sure the right contractors do it right — we don't do their job for them. Plan review, independent verification, Appointed Person: the technical safety net between your project and what could go wrong.
Our four pillars apply to any sector that depends on large-capacity cranes. Recognised, hands-on expertise across three industries — in Québec and internationally.
Full TCI scope — component transport, turbine erection and O&M. Lift assurance, independent plan verification and Appointed Person, with hands-on experience across SGRE, GE, Vestas, Envision and Nordex.
Large-capacity lifts on active mine sites — SAG and ball mills, crushers, tanks — including tandem CC lifts. Feasibility, independent verification and Appointed Person, planned around live-site constraints.
SPMT transport, port operations and industrial rigging. Route studies, load-out planning and vessel-discharge coordination — moving the oversized pieces civil projects depend on.
Real deliverables, not stock imagery — heavy-lift mandates planned and assured by NOVAWIND. Client identities withheld; drawings shown with permission.
Lift plan, 3D study and rigging specification for the installation of a 293-tonne ball mill on an active mine site. Crane selection, ground-bearing and rigging fully specified and documented before mobilisation — so the execution contractor could lift with total confidence.
Lift plan, 3D study and rigging specification for a 345-tonne SAG mill — the heaviest lift planned to date. Planned around live-site constraints, with independent verification of reach, capacity and ground bearing.
