What is Structural Moving?

Structural moving is the process of relocating a building from one site to another. This complex operation involves lifting the entire structure, transporting it, and carefully setting it down in its new location. The reasons for moving a structure are varied and can include historical preservation, land redevelopment, or the need to protect a building from environmental threats such as flooding.

The Process of Structural Moving

  1. Assessment and Planning: Every structural move begins with a thorough assessment of the building and its surroundings. Engineers and movers evaluate the structure’s size, weight, and condition to develop a customized moving plan.

  2. Preparation: Before the move, the building is prepared by reinforcing its structure and disconnecting utilities. The foundation is often separated from the building to facilitate the move.

  3. Lifting and Transporting: Using specialized equipment like hydraulic jacks and dollies, the structure is carefully lifted off its foundation. It is then placed on a series of steel beams and wheels, ready for transport.

  4. Repositioning: Once transported to the new site, the structure is meticulously positioned onto its new foundation. Final adjustments ensure the building is level and secure.

  5. Reconnection: Utilities are reconnected, and any necessary renovations or restorations are completed to ensure the building is fully operational in its new location.
