Planned work with clear ownership

Project Based Solutions
For Shutdowns, Relocations, & Complex Work

For shutdowns, relocations, and multi-phase work, CEI coordinates cranes, rigging, transport, and site requirements around one execution plan. The focus is sequencing, site flow, asset protection, and safe work from start to finish.

Ongoing support for operations

Logistics And Support
That Keeps Operations Moving

Our Services

Turnkey Services Under One Plan

CEI coordinates cranes, rigging, transport, and on-site support so projects stay organized from planning through completion. The focus is confirmed scope, controlled site flow, asset protection, and safe execution that stays aligned with the schedule.

Right Sized Cranes And Clear Lift Planning

Operated Crane Services

CEI supports operated crane service by planning the lift, confirming site conditions, selecting the right crane class, and coordinating execution with your team. The focus is safe setup, controlled work areas, and lifts that stay aligned with the schedule.

How Do You Decide What Crane And Setup Is Needed

We confirm load weight and lift path, setup space, ground conditions, access constraints, and time windows. From there we select the crane class and configuration that fits the job so the lift can be executed safely without oversizing equipment or creating site delays.

Controlled Handling For Critical Equipment

Rigging And Machinery Moving
With Safe Placement And Site Flow

CEI supports rigging and machinery moving by evaluating the load, planning handling methods, and coordinating lifting, shifting, and placement with the right crews and equipment. The focus is keeping moves organized, protecting assets during handling, and maintaining safe work areas.

What Is Typically Included In Machinery Moving Support?

We coordinate lift points and handling methods, rigging and control, equipment positioning, and placement into final locations. If staging or transport is required, we align those steps so the move stays organized and does not create rehandling or downtime.

Oversize Moves Coordinated From Pickup Through Unload

Heavy Haul And Transportation Support For High Requirement Loads

CEI supports heavy transport by matching loads to the correct trailer configuration and coordinating routing, permits, site access, and delivery timing. The focus is keeping deliveries aligned with site readiness, protecting equipment in transit, and executing safely at pickup and unload.

What Do You Need To Confirm Permits And Routing

We need pickup and delivery locations, estimated weight and dimensions, and any site constraints like access limits or delivery windows. With that information we can confirm routing considerations, permit requirements, and the right trailer and axle configuration.

Sequenced Work With One Accountable Plan

Plant Relocation And Project Execution
For Multi Phase Operations

CEI supports relocation and project execution by coordinating cranes, rigging, transport, staging, and site requirements around a phased plan. The focus is sequencing, maintaining site flow, protecting assets through each handoff, and completing work safely within shutdown or project windows.

How Do You Keep Multi Phase Work From Stalling?

We build a sequence that aligns equipment, crews, access, and staging with the site schedule. Each phase is planned around readiness and constraints so crews are not waiting on handoffs and work remains organized from removal through set and restart.

Storage And Scheduling That Keeps Work Moving

Warehousing, Staging, & Logistics
For Ongoing Support

CEI supports ongoing operations with storage, staging, and scheduling coordination that keeps equipment visible and ready when the next phase begins. The focus is controlled receiving and release, organized site flow, asset protection while stored, and safe handling during transfers.

Can You Receive Equipment Early And Release It In Sequence?

Yes. We can coordinate receiving windows, document and stage equipment, and release it based on your project timing and site readiness. This keeps deliveries organized and reduces jobsite congestion and unplanned handling.

Field Support When The Scope Changes

Fabrication, Welding, And Asset Recovery
For Industrial Worksites

CEI supports fabrication and welding when modifications, fit up, or repair work is required to keep a job moving safely. We also support asset recovery and removal work when equipment must be decommissioned or cleared from a site. The focus is controlled work areas, safe execution, and keeping schedules aligned when conditions change.

When Does Fabrication/ Welding Become Part Of The Plan

When equipment requires modification for handling, fit up for installation, or repair to support continued operation, welding support can be coordinated into the schedule. We align this work with lift and move steps so site flow stays organized and the job does not stall.
