Meet Aleksandrs Ivanovs

A CPCS A61-qualified Appointed Person. I have been in UK lifting since August 2012, around the time The Shard was finishing. The name AI Lifting Solutions has been around since then, well before AI became a buzzword. It is simply Aleksandrs Ivanovs.

Lift Planning & Coordination

Written lift plans for tower, mobile, crawler, spider and gantry cranes. One machine, the lifts you list before issue.

LOLER & BS7121

Named Appointed Person on the plan. Written to LOLER and BS 7121 so the principal contractor can put it on the file.

Fees

How to instruct me

Write a plan, or review one already written. VAT is not added.

£350

Write a lift plan, per one machine

  • All lifts for that machine if you list them before issue and approval.
  • Draft, your comments, then the approved plan.
  • Can be done within 24 hours, as long as the information is there.

After you approve the plan, a new revision is another £350, even on the same machine. A second machine is another £350.

£150

Review an existing lift plan

  • I read the plan you send and send written comments.
  • This is a review, not a new plan and not a rewrite.
  • If you then want me to write the plan, that is £350.

What I need from you

For a new plan

  • GA or layout drawing.
  • Certificates.
  • Accessories that will be used.
  • Any special requests.

For a review

  • The lift plan as issued.
