Emergency Shoring & Temporary Support

Rapid response for failed beams, sudden deflection, fire and impact damage. Stabilize first, engineer next.

Platinum Structural Steel provides structural steel installation in Massachusetts. When a beam fails, a column crushes, or a floor drops overnight, the first job is not the repair. It is making the building safe to stand in while the engineer designs the fix.

Platinum Structural Steel provides structural steel installation in Massachusetts. Platinum responds to structural emergencies across Greater Boston: shoring, needling, temporary columns and load transfer, coordinated with the building department and the owner's engineer.

Platinum Structural Steel includes these installation tasks.

Platinum Structural Steel defines the included work for each Massachusetts proposal using these scope items.

  • Rapid site assessment of the failed element and what it carries

  • Load transfer to sound structure below
  • Coordination with the owner's structural engineer on the permanent repair
  • Interface with the local building department and inspectional services
  • Documentation and photographs for insurance claims
  • Execution of the permanent repair once the engineer's design is issued
