Our project support work is designed to help clients prepare sites properly, manage risk, overcome access restrictions and keep complex lifting, movement, removal, dismantling and installation works moving safely.
From traffic management for crane lifts, steel fabrication and custom-built gantries to crane mat hire, site surveys, plate testing, controlled tank removal, cutting works, waste clearance, lift planning, staged delivery and storage, MRI provides the support services that make the main project possible.
Whether the requirement is part of a wider contract lift, plant replacement, machinery movement, tank removal, strip-out or installation project, our team can help plan, coordinate and deliver the practical details that keep the job controlled from start to finish.
UK Nationwide Support for Complex Lifting, Movement, Removal and Installation Projects
Practical Project Support for Heavy, Awkward and High-Risk Works
Not every project starts with a straightforward lift or movement. Many sites need preparation before the main works can begin.
Access routes may need checking. Ground conditions may need validating. Crane positions may need matting. Traffic may need managing. Redundant plant may need cutting, dismantling or removing in sections. Equipment may need temporary support, underpropping or a bespoke fabricated lifting platform before it can be safely removed or installed.
That is where MRI’s project support services come in.
We support clients with the planning, equipment, labour, fabrication and site coordination required to make difficult works achievable. Our focus is simple: prepare properly, reduce risk, avoid delays and deliver safely.

Traffic Management for Crane Lifts
Crane lifts often affect more than the immediate working area. Depending on the site, lift location and access restrictions, traffic, pedestrian routes, deliveries, site movements and local disruption may all need to be properly managed.
MRI can support traffic management requirements for crane lifting operations, helping clients plan safe access, controlled working areas and coordinated site movements around the lift.
This can be particularly important for roadside lifts, restricted commercial sites, industrial estates, live operational environments, public-facing areas and sites where access must remain controlled throughout the works.
Steel Fabrication
Some projects require a fabricated solution rather than an off-the-shelf answer.
MRI can support projects with steel fabrication for lifting, support, access, plant movement, removal and installation requirements. This may include bespoke steelwork, support frames, platforms, lifting aids, gantry components and job-specific fabricated solutions designed around the practical challenges of the site.
Our fabrication support is especially valuable where standard equipment is not suitable, access is restricted, loads are unusual or the project requires a safer and more controlled method of working.
Custom-Built Lifting Platforms and Gantries
MRI can provide custom-built lifting platforms and custom-built gantry systems for job-specific requirements.
These solutions can be designed and built around the demands of a particular site, item of plant, access route or lifting operation. Where suitable, MRI’s custom-built lifting platforms and gantries can also be made available for hire, giving clients access to proven project-specific equipment without having to start from scratch.
This support is ideal for unusual lifting requirements, restricted access projects, internal plant movement, heavy equipment replacement, redundant plant removal and works where a standard lifting arrangement is not practical.
Gantry Builds
MRI can support gantry build requirements for lifting, movement, removal and installation projects.
Gantry systems are often required where cranes cannot access the lift area, where internal movement is needed, or where equipment must be lifted and positioned in controlled stages. MRI can help with the planning, build and use of gantry systems as part of a safe and practical project method.
Gantry builds may be used for plant rooms, basement works, rooftop plant replacement support, restricted access environments, factories, commercial buildings, industrial facilities and infrastructure sites.
Through our sister company, Crane Mats UK, MRI can support
projects with crane mat hire for lifting operations, temporary
access routes and ground protection requirements.
Crane mats are a critical part of many lifting operations, helping
spread loads, protect surfaces and support safe crane positioning.
Mechanical Removals & Installations can help clients consider the practical ground support requirements linked to crane lifts and heavy equipment movement.
This service can be provided alongside lift planning, site surveys, traffic management, crane coordination, transport, storage and staged delivery.
MRI can support plate testing requirements where ground conditions, bearing capacity or working areas need to be assessed before lifting, movement or access works take place.
This can be an important step before crane lifts, heavy plant movement, temporary access arrangements or works involving significant loading on site surfaces.
By identifying potential ground or surface issues early, clients can make better decisions around crane positioning, load spreading, matting, access routes and safe working methods.
MRI can provide mapping survey support to help clients understand the practical layout, access restrictions, movement routes and working constraints on site.
Mapping surveys can support lift planning, machinery movement, transport coordination, staged delivery, storage planning, crane positioning, internal movement and final positioning works.
This is particularly useful for restricted sites, live commercial environments, industrial facilities, plant rooms, data centres, construction sites and projects where the route to the final position is just as important as the lift itself.
MRI supports controlled tank removal, decommissioning and dismantling works for commercial and industrial sites.
Tank removal projects can involve heavy, awkward or restricted items, live site constraints, access challenges, redundant services, contamination considerations and the need for careful planning. MRI can help support the safe dismantling, lifting, movement, removal and clearance of redundant tanks as part of a wider project package.
This service can support fuel tank removal, oil tank removal, industrial tank dismantling, plant room clearances, redundant system removal and wider commercial or industrial site clearance works.
MRI can support hot and cold cutting requirements for strip-out works, redundant plant replacement and controlled dismantling projects.
Where plant, pipework, tanks, steelwork, frames or redundant equipment cannot be removed in one piece, cutting works may be required to reduce items into manageable sections for safe removal.
MRI can help plan and coordinate cutting works as part of a controlled removal, lifting, movement, waste clearance or replacement project.
Some projects require temporary support before equipment can be removed, moved, replaced or installed.
MRI can support underpropping requirements where structures, floors, access routes, working areas or items of plant need additional support during project works.
This can be especially important during plant replacement, machinery movement, controlled dismantling, restricted access works or heavy equipment handling where load transfer and temporary support need to be properly considered.
MRI can support licensed site waste clearance as part of commercial and industrial project works.
This can be provided alongside strip-outs, redundant plant replacement, tank removal, dismantling, site clearance, plant room works, machinery removal and wider M&E project support.
By combining waste clearance with lifting, movement, cutting, transport and project coordination, MRI helps clients reduce the number of separate suppliers involved and keep responsibility clearer on site.
MRI can provide comprehensive lift plans prepared by an Appointed Person for lifting operations.
A properly planned lift is critical to safe delivery. MRI can support clients with lift planning, site assessments, crane positioning, lifting methodology, RAMS, equipment selection, access considerations, load information and coordination with the wider project team.
This service can support contract lifts, crane lifts, HIAB operations, machinery movement, plant replacement, tank removal, steelwork handling, rooftop plant works and restricted access lifting operations.
Not every site is ready to receive equipment when the supplier is ready to deliver it.
MRI can support staged delivery and storage requirements for plant, machinery, equipment and project materials. This helps clients manage programme timing, site access limitations, phased works, crane availability, delivery restrictions and final positioning schedules.
Equipment can be stored and delivered to site in planned stages, reducing pressure on site teams and helping the wider project run more smoothly.
This service is particularly useful for M&E projects, plant replacement works, data centre projects, commercial refurbishments, construction sites and projects where timing, access and coordination are critical.
MRI’s project support services are often delivered alongside our core lifting, transport, storage, movement and installation capabilities.
This means clients can use MRI as one accountable partner across several stages of the project, rather than splitting responsibility across multiple suppliers.
Project support can be combined with:
-
CPA contract lifting
-
HIAB hire and transport
-
Mechanical Plant Movement
-
Heavy Haulage & Specialist Transport
-
Site Clearance
-
Secure Storage
-
Staged Delivery
-
Final Positioning
This joined-up approach helps reduce delays, improve communication and keep the practical details under control.
