CRANE & RIGGING VIRGINIA

Crane & Rigging Services in Virginia

Utility construction demands heavy lifting — literally. From setting massive power transformers to erecting steel transmission structures, many of the most critical tasks in electrical infrastructure construction require crane and rigging expertise. Pross Construction Company, Inc. provides professional crane and rigging services across Virginia, bringing the right equipment, certified operators, and engineered lift plans to every project. Our team understands the unique requirements of utility construction and the precision needed to safely place heavy equipment and materials in challenging environments.

Safety is paramount in every crane operation we perform. All of our crane operators are NCCCO (National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators) certified, and every lift is planned and executed according to OSHA regulations and industry best practices. We develop detailed rigging plans for complex lifts, conduct thorough site assessments, and ensure that every member of the crew understands their role before any load leaves the ground. This disciplined approach to crane operations has made Pross Construction a preferred partner for utilities and contractors throughout Virginia.
