Platinum Structural Steel — structural steel and steel beam installation

Service area

Structural steel in Boston, Massachusetts

Downtown, Back Bay, South Boston, Dorchester and everything in between.

Platinum Structural Steel provides structural steel installation in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston is four or five different steel markets stacked in one city. A tower fit-out downtown, a brownstone lintel job in the Back Bay, a triple-decker beam replacement in Dorchester and a warehouse conversion in South Boston have almost nothing in common except the building department.

Platinum Structural Steel provides structural steel installation in Boston, Massachusetts. We work across all of them, and the plan changes completely depending on which one you have.

Platinum Structural Steel plans Boston permitting and access.

Platinum Structural Steel provides structural steel installation in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston's Inspectional Services Department requires a building permit for any structural work that changes a load path, with stamped drawings from a Massachusetts registered professional engineer, and a structural inspection before close-in. Downtown picks generally add a street occupancy permit through the Boston Transportation Department and a police detail. Landmark districts add commission review, which has its own calendar. We plan mobilization around those approvals rather than assuming them.

Brownstone and row house

Back Bay, Beacon Hill and the South End are masonry bearing walls with wood joists and steel lintels that are now well past their service life. Work is hand-rigged, sectioned and field-welded, with commission review on anything visible.

Triple-decker

Dorchester, Roxbury, Jamaica Plain and Hyde Park run on three-family wood frames over a basement girder carried by lally columns. Rusted columns and sagging basement girders are the most common call we get from these neighborhoods.

Downtown and Seaport commercial

Fit-out steel, rooftop dunnage and structural alterations inside occupied buildings, where the loading dock schedule and the freight elevator dictate the whole sequence.

Industrial and conversion

South Boston and Charlestown warehouse and pier buildings being converted, with new floor openings, elevators and reinforcement for changed use.
