DELIVERY & CRANE DAY CENTER
Covenant Set-Day Planning / On-Site Operations
Modular Delivery Route Planning
Our team evaluates roadway width, turning geometry, overhead clearance, slope, and access conditions to ensure your modular units can safely reach the site. Every route is planned with precision to avoid delays, prevent damage, and guarantee a smooth transport process.
- Delivered With Confidence.
Staging Area & Site Organization
Staging zones are carefully laid out to position each module for safe lifting, clear movement paths, and efficient crane operations. By organizing arrival order, material placement, and worker zones, we create a controlled environment that ensures set-day success. This is your day.
- Organized For a Seamless Set.
Crane Pad Setup & Ground Preparation
We construct and verify a stable, level, load-bearing crane pad capable of supporting equipment weight and boom reach. Proper grading, compaction, and safety clearances guarantee safe crane operations throughout the modular lifting process. We ensure everything is to standard.
- Stability Begins With Strong Ground.
Rigging, Lifting & Load Control
Certified rigging practices ensure every module is secured, balanced, and lifted according to manufacturer engineering. From rigging hardware to attachment points, we follow strict safety and load-control procedures to protect your home during each lift.
- Lifted With Precision & Trust.
Crane Operations Safety Procedures
Set day follows OSHA-compliant crane protocols, including exclusion zones, spotters, signal personnel, and overhead hazard control. Our safety planning safeguards every worker, protects your home, and ensures a controlled environment.
- Safety That Never Compromises.
Crew Coordination & Communication
Clear communication between crane operators, riggers, delivery drivers, and the set crew ensures flawless timing and accurate placement. Every step is guided through hand signals, radios, and coordinated workflow to keep the operation running safely.
- One Team. One Purpose.
Modular Box Placement
Your home’s modules are placed in exact order based on structure type, layout, and engineering requirements. We follow precise sequencing to ensure balanced weight distribution, seamless marriage wall alignment, and proper structural integration.
- Placement That Builds Strength.
Alignment, Fastening & Structural Tie-Ins
Once set, modules are carefully aligned, anchored, and fastened per NYS modular code and manufacturer engineering. Roof hinges, marriage walls, floors, and exterior systems are secured to create a unified, structurally sound home.
- Connected. Secured. Built as One.
Post-Set Inspections & Site Safety Reset
After placement, we review structural alignment, temporary bracing, weatherproofing, and safety conditions before trades enter the home. This step ensures your new home is stable, sealed, and ready for interior completion without delays or hazards.
- Confidence From the First Inspection.
