Using 3D modeling to design a complex lift.

Ruby+Associates assisted Atlas Industrial Contractors with rigging design at their fabrication facility in Memphis. Atlas needed to lift large, heavy, irregularly shaped components and place them on barges for shipment to the jobsite in St. Genevieve, Missouri. Ruby used 3D modeling to determine centers of gravity and lift stresses, and then designed lugs that enabled Atlas to lift and rotate the components into place.
