| Steel Erectors (or iron workers) are tradesmen who install structural steel frames of building and engineering projects. The components would usually have been prefabricated, including usually all welded joints. Steel erectors assemble the structural frame in accordance with engineering drawings. Structural steel installation is usually crane assisted and utilizes mobile elevated work platforms or scissor lifts as the structure progresses. Steel erectors also fix metal decking, safety netting and edge rails to facilitate safe working practices. Steel erectors also are involved in dismantling steel frames. |
