“ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS” – Felbermayr starts a new division

 

November 29, 2020 | Markus Lackner

Supported by the areas of crane hire and heavy transport, Felbermayr has already been an important partner for heavy-lift handling when it comes to heavy equipment installation for some time; nearly 2,000 employees have been responsible for previous successes. But even that's not enough. Since October, Felbermayr is now also active in “Engineered Solutions”. By doing this, the industrial services provider is expanding its offering considerably within the context of technical solutions for heavy-duty industry.

“Felbermayr possesses powerful equipment in the area of heavy-lift handling,” explains the director of the new Engineered Solutions department, Kees Kompier, with conviction. And Kompier, currently 53 years old, should know since he has spent half of his life surrounded by crawler cranes, propulsion systems, and strand jacks in the heavy goods industry. With “Engineered Solutions”, the Dutchman has made it is own task to take Felbermayr forward an important step in the area of heavy equipment installation.

Unique use of head load equipment

“Through the combination of the knowledge of Felbermayr’s employees and the existing heavy load equipment, it is my goal to expand the opportunities for use,” states Kompier, and he is convinced that this is possible through creativity and the expansion of technical know-how, for example in the area of statics. Therefore, a departure from classic, by-the-book applications is necessary, and openness to new uses of “Felbermayr First-Class Equipment” is needed, argues Kompier.

As an example, the heavy load expert with worldwide experience describes a project in Bratislava. In this case, a 2,400 tonne bridge suspension work needed to be inserted. “I completed this order at that time while I was still a subcontractor for Felbermayr, because Felbermayr statics know-how for calculating the load distribution between the pontoons was lacking,” recalls Kompier and adds that this is precisely the knowledge that needs to be expanded. In this way, it will be possible to offer existing customers a broader range of services. “Ultimately, employers also benefit from a reduction in contact partners and increased efficiency in order completion,” concludes Kompier optimistically.
