The nuclear sector demands unmatched precision, compliance, and safety at every stage of operation. From nuclear power plant maintenance and refueling outages to cooling tower installation and eventual decommissioning, LGH Canada delivers certified lifting and rigging equipment to keep critical projects on schedule. With rental solutions designed for heavy-duty applications like turbine rotor replacement, chiller cooling tower maintenance, and proof load testing, we provide nuclear facilities with the confidence to handle their most complex challenges without heavy capital investment.
Nuclear facilities are highly regulated, mission-critical environments where downtime and error are unacceptable. LGH Canada supports contractors and operators across the full project lifecycle:
• Outages & Maintenance – During planned refueling outages or plant shutdowns, crews rely on gantry cranes, hoists, and hydraulic jacks to remove and replace heavy components like pumps, valves, and turbine rotors. LGH Canada gear supports safe, efficient work so plants return to service quickly.
• Cooling Systems – From cooling tower installation and drift eliminators cooling tower replacement to chiller cooling tower pump repair, LGH Canada rigging solutions enable safe handling of large components essential to reactor and condenser performance.
• Load Testing & Compliance – Nuclear regulations demand exacting standards. LGH Canada provides load cell testers, proof load testing equipment, and spreader beams to verify capacities, maintain compliance, and protect safety during critical lifts.
• Plant Operations & Upgrades – Installing or upgrading heavy electrical and mechanical infrastructure, such as components in the nuclear power plant control room, requires precise handling. LGH Canada’s certified portable gantry cranes and hoists provide controlled lifting even in confined areas.
• Decommissioning – When plants reach the end of their lifecycle, large-scale removal of contaminated or oversized equipment calls for specialized skidding systems, chain hoists, and mobile gantries. LGH Canada solutions reduce cost and improve flexibility for these one-time heavy moves.
• Gantry Cranes & Portable Hoists – Ideal for confined plant rooms or outdoor cooling systems, LGH Canada portable gantry cranes and mobile hoist cranes provide overhead lifting capacity without permanent infrastructure.
• Hydraulic Jacks & Skidding Systems – Perfect for moving turbine rotors, pumps, and heavy valves in tight plant environments where crane access is limited.
• Load Cells & Proof Testing – LGH Canada load cell testers and dynamometers ensure precise monitoring of load distribution, while proof load testing equipment verifies the safety and compliance of every lift.
• Confined Space & Safety Gear – LGH Canada offers confined space equipment including tripod rescue systems and winches, essential for maintenance in vaults, shafts, and radiation-controlled zones.
• Safety & Compliance – Every piece of LGH Canada equipment is certified and rigorously maintained to align with nuclear power plant safety standards and regulatory requirements.
• Efficiency During Outages – With rapid response and delivery, LGH Canada helps minimize downtime during nuclear plant outages and plant shutdown services.
• Specialized Expertise – With over 35 years of experience supporting industrial rigging for power plants, the LGH Canada team provides on-site consulting and customized solutions for nuclear-specific challenges.
• Flexibility & Cost Savings – Renting from LGH Canada eliminates the burden of ownership while ensuring access to the right equipment for every project—from mission-critical cooling tower repairs to control room upgrades.
