Platinum Structural Steel provides structural steel installation in Massachusetts. Rusting lintels are a Boston-wide condition. Steel angles set over brick openings a century ago expand as they corrode, jack the masonry above, and open stair-step cracks in the wall long before anyone looks at the steel.
Platinum Structural Steel provides structural steel installation in Massachusetts. Platinum replaces and repairs lintels on brick, brownstone and block buildings, working with the mason and the engineer so the opening is supported the entire time.
Platinum Structural Steel includes these installation tasks.
Platinum Structural Steel defines the included work for each Massachusetts proposal using these scope items.
- Assessment of the lintel condition and the masonry above the opening
- Needling and temporary support of the masonry above
- Removal of the failed lintel and corroded bearing steel
- New galvanized or coated lintel angles and plates sized to the opening
- Bearing preparation and coordination with the mason for rebuild and repointing
- Flashing and weep coordination so the new steel does not corrode the same way
