Alter what is already built
Equipment & Structural Modifications
Modification is harder than building new, because something is already carrying load and it does not stop while you work on it.
Cutting an opening, adding a support, extending a frame — all of it has to happen without compromising what is holding the structure up in the meantime.
What the job includes
- Assessment of existing load paths before cutting
- Cutting openings and installing headers
- Adding supports, posts and bracing
- Frame extensions and equipment modifications
- Temporary shoring during the work
Where it gets used
- Cutting a door or window into a structural wall
- Extending or shortening equipment frames
- Adding support for new rooftop or mezzanine load
- Modifying racking, platforms and machine bases
Common questions
Can you cut an opening in a load-bearing wall?
Yes, with the right header and shoring, and with stamped drawings for anything structural. We weld to the engineer's detail — we do not decide the sizing ourselves.
Will the structure be supported while you work?
Yes. Temporary shoring goes in before anything load-bearing is cut. That is not an upsell, it is the job.
Can you modify equipment still in service?
Often, with scheduling around your operations. Tell us what the downtime window is and we will tell you whether the work fits inside it.
