Lifting of a Steel Structure for Building Elevation – A Structural Engineering Solution

The lifting of a steel structure in an industrial building is an innovative structural engineering solution that allows increasing the building’s height without dismantling the existing frame. In this video, we demonstrate how, using chain hoists and temporary support elements, the entire steel framework of the building is raised to enable the welding or installation of additional columns.

This method is typically used when there is a need to:
🔹 Install taller doors, gates, or equipment
🔹 Modernize an existing industrial building
🔹 Adapt the structure for a new purpose
