From restaurant build-outs in McAllen to pre-engineered metal buildings in Edinburg and Weslaco and industrial frames in Brownsville, steel erection is steady crane work in the Valley. These jobs are often billed by the hour or by the day with the operator, and may run several days.
What to have ready
- Heaviest piece and longest piece (weight and length)
- Number of picks and estimated days
- Site access and ground conditions for the crane
- Whether you have your own ironworkers/riggers or need the crane company to provide them
Steel erection in construction falls under OSHA's steel erection and crane standards. Your erector and the crane company are responsible for site safety; ask about lift plans and qualified riggers and signal persons.
