Ground Bearing Assessment
Soil and paving load capacity analysis with outrigger mat and crane pad recommendations for safe setup.
Site Inspections
Every safe lift starts with a thorough site inspection. Our engineers assess ground conditions, overhead hazards, access routes, and crane positioning before any operation begins.

Expert Pre-Lift Surveys Across the UAE
A thorough pre-lift site inspection is the foundation of every safe crane operation. Red Tiger’s qualified engineers conduct comprehensive site surveys across the UAE before any crane is mobilised. Our inspections identify ground conditions, access constraints, overhead hazards, underground services, and exclusion zone requirements.
Our inspection service includes ground bearing pressure assessments, outrigger pad sizing calculations, crane setup position planning, and access route surveys for crane transport vehicles. Where ground conditions are suspect, we recommend and supply ground protection solutions to ensure crane stability.
Following every inspection, you receive a written site survey report and a preliminary lift plan that can be submitted to OSHAD, Dubai Municipality, RTA, or the relevant emirate authority to obtain permits.

Ask a Question01Why is a pre-lift site inspection necessary?
A site inspection ensures the ground can safely bear the weight of the crane and its load, that there are no hidden underground services or overhead power lines, and that the crane can be correctly positioned. Skipping this step is the leading cause of crane incidents on UAE construction sites.
02Who conducts Red Tiger's site surveys?
Our site surveys are conducted by qualified UAE lifting engineers experienced across construction, oil and gas, and industrial sectors. All surveyors hold OSHAD-recognised competency certifications and are registered as appointed persons for crane operations.
03What does a ground bearing pressure assessment involve?
Our engineer reviews available soil or slab data, calculates the expected outrigger loading, and determines whether the existing ground can support the crane safely — or whether ground protection mats or temporary works are required.
04How long does an inspection and lift plan take?
A typical inspection and written report can be completed within 24–48 hours of our engineer's site visit. More complex operations requiring engineered drawings may take 3–5 working days.
05Can you manage the permit application on our behalf?
Yes. Red Tiger manages the full permit process with OSHAD, Dubai Municipality, RTA, and other relevant authorities as part of our lift planning service.
