Summary
- Experienced crews ensure safe handling
- Prefabrication reduces schedule risk
- Code compliant connections and inspections
On projects across Miami, contractors coordinate engineers, fabricators, and riggers to handle Type B steel framing beams Miami safely and efficiently. Miami Metal Deck brings field experience, AISC best practices, OSHA-aligned safety, and Florida Building Code compliance to every structural project. Our approach minimizes site rework and schedule disruptions while protecting structural performance.
Assessment and Planning
Before lift, we perform site surveys, load path analysis, and review engineered shop drawings to confirm member lengths, connection types, and crane access. Coordination with structural engineers ensures that Type B beam tolerances and camber are verified and that temporary bracing is specified.
Permitting and sequencing account for local Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code requirements. We develop lift plans, method statements, and logistics plans that align with subcontractor schedules and material delivery windows.
Fabrication, Handling, and Site Logistics
We favor precision prefabrication to reduce field welding and fitting. Beams are prepped in controlled shops with certified welders and traceable material certifications, then staged for just-in-time delivery to minimize on-site handling.
On-site rigging uses tag lines, certified slings, and qualified rigging crews to control Type B beam movement. Contractors manage crane selection, lift radius, and sequencing to prevent downtime and ensure safety while following budget allocation strategies such as value engineering and staged mobilization.
Installation, Connections, and Quality Control
Installation emphasizes verified connections: bolted splice alignment, field welding to AISC standards, and torque-controlled bolting procedures. Non-destructive testing and mill test reports support material integrity and long-term performance.
QA/QC documentation, third-party inspections, and as-built records are maintained for owner assurance and code inspections. Safety plans, toolbox talks, and site supervision reduce risk and preserve project timelines.
