Metal Deck & Bar Joist Installation

Bar joist, girders, composite and roof deck installed and welded off behind the frame.

Platinum Structural Steel provides structural steel installation in Massachusetts. Deck is what turns a frame into a floor. It is also where erection schedules quietly slip, because the deck crew arrives behind the iron and every day the frame is late is a day the deck is late and the concrete pour moves.
