STRUCTURAL STEEL ERECTION
Mezzanines. Support platforms. Catwalks. Entire buildings. If it’s made of steel and needs to stand strong, we build it.
Whether we’re setting the frame for a new facility or building out steel platforms to support heavy machinery, our structural steel erection services are designed for serious industrial jobsites. We work inside plants, outside foundations, and everywhere in between – laying the framework, raising the bones, and building the base for whatever’s coming next.
We bring the experience and efficiency you’d expect from a crew that’s done it hundreds of times before.
WHEN CLIENTS CALL US
You’ll typically see our steel crew onsite when:
- A new building or expansion needs a steel frame erected from the ground up
- Equipment or tanks require custom platforms, mezzanines, or support structures
- Safety walkways, catwalks, and access points need to be fabricated and installed
- Structural modifications are required during a machinery move or plant upgrade
We coordinate with your team and can pair our structural work with other rigging, millwright, or transport services for a streamlined process from start to finish.

This isn’t one-and-done steelwork. Our structural team brings experience, equipment, and field coordination that keeps the entire jobsite moving.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Skilled union ironworkers with experience erecting structural steel across industrial and commercial jobsites
- Full integration with equipment installs and interior rigging needs
- Clear scheduling, safety-first operations, and tight coordination with other trades
- In-house team, in-house equipment, and a boots-on-the-ground approach that delivers results
Our crews don’t just erect steel, they understand the bigger picture. We plan around real jobsite conditions, follow your specs to the letter, and adapt quickly when things shift. Whether we’re setting columns, welding joints, or fitting custom steel into tight plant spaces, we do it with the confidence of a crew that’s been there before.
Need help beyond the structure?
We can integrate with our millwrights, riggers, or maintenance teams to support whatever phase comes next – fewer handoffs, fewer delays, and a lot less stress on your end.
