Mission-Critical Planning: How R. Baker & Son Executes High-Stakes Projects with Engineered Work Plans

Mission-critical and high-stakes projects demand detailed, preplanned coordination to ensure success at every level. When it comes to plant shutdowns, startups, repairs, changeovers, and equipment replacements, R.

The Blueprint for Success: Preliminary and Engineered Work Plans

At R. Baker & Son, our planning process begins before the contract is even signed. We first prepare a Preliminary Work Plan, which outlines the general scope, sequence, and logistical approach. Once the project is awarded, we refine this initial strategy into a comprehensive Engineered Safety Work Plan....

Moving a multi-ton medical MRI magnet isn’t standard rigging; it’s surgical logistics.

When handling heavy, delicate superconducting magnets and liquid helium systems, precision is crucial. In our latest case study, the R. Baker & Son team managed a complex, tight-clearance medical equipment installation across multiple floors of an active healthcare facility.

Key highlights include:
- Early rooftop staging of medical chillers
- Hoisting 8,000-lb imaging units through narrow exterior wall openings using an 80-ton hydraulic crane and specialized "cookie sheet" spreader platforms

We successfully delivered a true turnkey ex*****on in just three days.

Air Skates: How to Move Multi Ton Loads Without Touching the Floor

Air skates, also known as air casters, air skids, or air dollies, are a specialized rigging solution that R. Baker & Son has deployed for many years to move heavy machinery, fragile equipment, and multi-ton loads inside buildings. These systems range in capacity from approximately 12 to 150+ tons, depending on configuration. Using hovercraft technology, we float equipment with omnidirectional movement on a thin cushion of air across flat, smooth surfaces with zero floor damage and minimal effort. For plant relocations, renovations, and new construction projects where traditional methods risk epoxy floors, polished concrete, or tight spaces, air skates are often the only practical option - and our teams know exactly how to make them perform.

On renovations, new construction projects, and plant relocations, R. Baker & Son has mastered the use of air casters to move and precisely position heavy machinery and process equipment where traditional methods simply aren't an option.

On one memorable project, the plant owner was skeptical, even calling it crazy, when R. Baker proposed moving heavy equipment across brand-new epoxy floors. To his amazement, every piece of equipment glided across the floor on air skates without leaving so much as a scratch. Just a few dusty footprints that wiped away easily.

How Do Air Skates Work?

Air skates operate on the principle of total force, which is different from pressure alone. A 24-inch circular disc has approximately 452 square inches of surface area. At just 30 PSI, that translates to over 13,500 pounds of lifting force per skate, or more than 54,000 pounds when using four skates together, all while maintaining that same 30 PSI.

Demolition Protection: Safeguarding People, Property, and Critical Systems with Industry-Leading Expertise

What Demolition Protection Truly Entails In the complex world of demolition, protection goes far beyond basic safeguards. As the recognized leader in demolition protection, R. Baker & Son defines it as the comprehensive shielding of adjacent structures, mission-critical equipment, operational systems, and personnel during high-stakes demolition projects. Whether preserving neighboring buildings in dense urban environments, encapsulating sensitive laboratory infrastructure, or maintaining uninterrupted data center operations, effective demolition protection ensures zero unintended damage to people, property, or essential systems - while enabling safe, efficient project completion.
