Steel Erection
Century Steel’s work on a structural steel building starts in the planning stage for the project: coordinating with the fabricator on the phases of steel to be detailed and fabricated in a sequence that can be phased for most efficient schedule for the erection of the building. Likewise, the prime contractor must assist in coordination of the foundations. On a larger project, they need to work in the same phase order as the steel will be delivered, so that the foundation concrete is cured and ready to handle the weights and torque of the columns and beams to be erected.
When the first crane arrives, all of the planning has been set, and now the crews are ready to receive the steel in an orderly process to assemble the building. Steel Erection is still one of the most potentially dangerous elements of a construction project. Century’s preplanning, phasing, documented erection plans, with weight and load analysis, welding procedure information, and project safety plan enable Century to provide trained and knowledgeable field supervision and craftsmen, the right equipment and tools to start and complete the work in the shortest possible time frame.
As an AISC certified “advanced steel erector”, Century has been recognized and pre-qualified to work on large complex steel erection projects, including multi-story buildings, bridges, and large scale work, and work that requires complicated rigging procedures like multiple crane lifts, etc. The AISC has inspected and certified Century’s home office and field operations as capable of providing the most advanced steel erection contractor services that can be expected in the industry. They have also reviewed the safety plans and training and the safety of the field operations for this dangerous work element.
