An engineered lifting operation on a live site

On-site delivery & consultancy

Engineered lifting, independent assurance and full project control for high-risk environments.

What this is

Assurance and delivery, not just training

Training gets people competent. This is what happens when the lift itself has to be planned, verified and executed — on a live site, under a permit system, with a regulator or a principal contractor asking for evidence.

We plan lifts, audit them independently, assess workforce competence and deliver complete lifting and rigging packages. Every engagement starts as a conversation about scope and constraints, not a price list.

Safety and compliance

Heavy lifting leaves no room for assumptions. Safety is not a box-ticking exercise — it underpins every decision, and we take a zero-tolerance approach in hazardous and controlled environments.

On-site delivery and consultancy is provided by Bowtec Heavy Lift Ltd, a separate company under the same ownership and leadership as Bowtec Training Services. Contracts, insurance and invoicing for these services sit with Bowtec Heavy Lift Ltd. bowtecheavylift.co.uk

Sectors

Where we work

We tailor the approach to the operational risk, the compliance regime and the technical constraints of the sector.

Nuclear & high hazard

Lifting assurance and engineered operations inside regulated, safety-critical environments where compliance and documentation carry as much weight as the lift itself.

  • Nuclear site standards and assurance frameworks
  • Permit integration and layered approvals
  • Independent verification requirements
  • Audit-ready documentation

Oil, gas & energy

Technical lifting and rigging across refineries, terminals, processing facilities and generation assets.

  • Plant upgrades and maintenance shutdowns
  • Mechanical handling in live environments
  • High-risk confined and restricted-access lifts
  • Strict compliance and contractor oversight

Construction & civil engineering

Engineered lift planning for structural erection, heavy installation and infrastructure work.

  • Structural steel erection
  • Precast and modular installation
  • Temporary works integration
  • Principal contractor assurance

Wind, offshore & renewables

Lifting and rigging for offshore, renewable and decarbonisation projects.

  • Turbine component handling
  • Heavy plant installation
  • Restricted access and complex sequencing
  • Compliance within energy sector frameworks
