Steel Erection - The art and science

Steel structures rule modern construction. You must have heard that construction companies are incorporating steel structures into their construction sites. But is offering steel structures enough to choose a construction company? Because it is quite easy to procure or even fabricate steel structures, the tricky part is to install or erect those structures perfectly to construct the site. Steel erection is an art that requires skill, expertise, and training.

Steel erection refers to the construction, amendment, or remodelling of already installed steel structures on construction sites. It includes all the processes from transporting, human handling, and conjoining steel structures to form the geometric structure as per the construction contract (be it building, bridge, or other sites). In simpler words, steel erection makes sure that a perfect and flawless geometric structure building is constructed as the base or structure is the most important part of any construction project.

DTC ensures to assist you in the best possible way to save your time and cost-effectively offer great construction services.

Dorar Tammam Co. (DTC) acknowledges and understands the need for well-trained staff for perfect steel erection. This is why our skilled workers and expert engineers continuously undergo training to learn modern and updated skills and knowledge. The training ensures that they learn all the modern practices and methods of steel erection as per the international standard requirements. The most essential training is in health and safety procedures as steel erection is quite tricky and involves danger.

The possible danger involves in steel erection ranges from serious injuries to even death which is why compliance with international safety standards is crucial. You must be wondering what possible hazard steel erection can cause. Well, the risk associated with steel erection is possible at every location or process and the intensity of threat depends upon the materials, size, and working conditions. The possible hazard can arise if the workforce is working under suspended loads that can collapse if not arrayed properly, the collapse of steel columns if not anchored properly, workers can fall to lower levels of the building if the holding material is of low quality, and even faulty equipment can cause damage to the structure and people working around. All these hazards can be ignored if the workers are properly trained and seriously follow all safety procedures prescribed.

DTC ensures to do a thorough site hazard analysis before starting any project as per the international standards. This helps us to identify and prospect risks so that we can devise a safety plan to deal with those risks beforehand.
