Onsite steel work repairs & installations

We are capable of assisting with any onsite welding and breakdowns as well as installations of anything we fabricate or purchased elsewhere. 

Onsite steelwork repairs and installations refer to a range of construction and maintenance activities involving steel structures and components that are performed directly at a specific location, often at the site of a building, facility, or infrastructure project. These services are typically provided by construction or welding professionals and are essential for ensuring the integrity, safety, and functionality of steel structures.

 

Here's a breakdown of what onsite steelwork repairs and installations entail:

​

Repairs:

 

  • Structural Repairs: This involves repairing or reinforcing damaged or deteriorated steel components of a building or structure. Structural repairs may be necessary due to corrosion, impact damage, or wear and tear.

 

  • Welding Repairs: Welding techniques are commonly used to repair cracks, breaks, or weak joints in steel structures. Welders on-site can assess the damage and perform necessary welding repairs to restore the structural integrity.

 

  • Corrosion Mitigation: Steel structures exposed to the elements are susceptible to corrosion. Onsite repairs may involve surface treatment, such as sandblasting and the application of anti-corrosion coatings, to prevent further deterioration.

 

  • Equipment Repairs: Onsite repairs can extend to industrial equipment and machinery that contain steel components. Welding and fabrication professionals can repair or replace worn-out or damaged parts.

​

​

Installations:

 

  • New Construction: Onsite steelwork installations are an integral part of constructing new buildings, bridges, industrial facilities, and other structures that incorporate steel components. This includes erecting steel beams, columns, and frames according to engineering and architectural plans.

 

  • Renovations and Modifications: When existing structures require additions or alterations that involve steel components, onsite installations are necessary. This can include expanding a building, adding a mezzanine, or installing new steel stairs or handrails.

 

  • Industrial Installations: In industrial settings, onsite installations may involve setting up heavy machinery, conveyor systems, platforms, and catwalks, all of which rely on steel structural elements.

 

  • Safety Features: Installing safety-related steel components, such as guardrails, safety barriers, and fall protection systems, is crucial for ensuring a safe work environment and compliance with safety regulations.

​

​

Inspection and Assessment:

 

  • Prior to repairs or installations, an initial inspection and assessment of the existing steelwork are typically conducted. This evaluation helps identify issues, determine the scope of work required, and assess the condition of the steel structures.

​

​

Customization and Fabrication:

 

  • Onsite steelwork often involves customization and fabrication of steel components to meet specific project requirements. This may include cutting, welding, and shaping steel materials on-site to fit unique design specifications.

​

​

Compliance and Safety:

 

  • Onsite steelwork must comply with safety standards and local building codes to ensure the safety of workers and occupants. Safety measures, such as fall protection and welding safety protocols, are essential during onsite operations.

​

​

Overall, onsite steelwork repairs and installations are essential for maintaining, renovating, or constructing structures that incorporate steel elements. These services require skilled professionals who are experienced in welding, fabrication, and construction, and they play a critical role in preserving the structural integrity and safety of buildings and infrastructure.
