Profile

We're different.

We look at things differently here.

We have the success of your project in mind.

We respect your property, your budget, and your timeline.

We look at the whole project, consider the other trades, and their integration in the design of our lifting and moving systems and processes.

We focus on safe, successful, and timely completion of your project.

We enjoy structural moving.

Contact Atlantic Structure Movers for creative, cost conscious solutions. We're here to help.

Jay Thompson, our founder, is a nationally accredited Structural Mover. The International Association of Structure Movers honored Jay with distinguished awards ”In Recognition of Outstanding Achievement” for the "Widest Structure Moved" and the “Structure Moved with the Most Square Footage on One Level” after he raised a nominal 23,000 square-foot Dome Roof on an athletic auditorium in New York.

At the heart of our work is a passion for innovative solutions considerate of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Jay designed and had custom jacking/shoring posts fabricated for the Dome Project, enabling workers to perform all jacking while safely standing at ground level. This equipment impressively cut time and costs while exponentially enhanced safety and efficiency.

Jay Thompson has served as a Board of Director and Committee Chairman for the International Association of Structure Movers. Jay also co-authored the Industry Standards and Guidelines for Structural Movers, the industry reference manual for all structural movers in the United States. We operate our family owned business in the Long Beach Island area, as we have for over four decades. Jay’s family, in fact, dates back to the Barnegat area from prior to the Revolutionary War!

Atlantic Structure Movers remains an active member of the International Association of Structure Movers, the Northeast Association of Structural Movers, and the Chamber of Commerce.

We at Atlantic Structure Movers are expert movers employing advanced technology, licensed and insured for your security and peace of mind.

Atlantic Structure Movers utilizes the most up to date, state-of-the-art technology and equipment – including a hydraulic, double-acting, unified jacking system.

Jahns Structure Jacking System, manufacturer of the system used in raising and moving the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, designed and manufactured our unified jacking equipment to those same exacting standards and customized it to our unique specifications.

Only a unified system such as ours prevents torque, twisting, rocking or racking a structure. Our company adheres to the industry’s highest standards of professionalism, and our crews are specifically trained to work exclusively at structural moving.

Each project receives full-time, on-site supervision. This combination of factors – expertise, technology, and supervision – contributes to our impeccable safety and success record.
