Miami Metal Deck specializes in Type B metal deck solutions for transit and rail stations throughout Florida. Our Type B metal deck Florida systems are engineered for long spans, high live loads, and coastal corrosion resistance, combining precision shop fabrication with certified materials. With licensed structural engineers, detailed submittals, and a proven track record on municipal rail projects, we deliver code-compliant designs, reliable lead times, and warranty-backed performance for infrastructure projects.
Why Type B Metal Deck Suits Transit Stations
Type B metal decks provide high section modulus and span capacity ideal for transit platforms, pedestrian concourses, and rail support slabs. They integrate with concrete toppings to produce composite action, resist concentrated wheel loads, and allow for drainage and service penetrations while maintaining fire ratings and acoustic performance when specified.
Our engineering team prepares sealed calculations, load tables, and coordination drawings to meet AASHTO, Florida Building Code, and local authority requirements. We supply mill certificates, finish specifications, and third-party test documentation as part of our submittal package to support procurement and permitting.
Local Supply, Fast Lead Times
Stocked profiles and local fabrication in the Miami area minimize logistics and reduce project schedule risk. We maintain common Type B profiles in inventory and offer expedited fabrication for staged construction and phased rail projects.
Quality control includes mill-certified steel, dimensional verification, and pre-shipping inspections. Panels are tagged for traceability and shipped with installation notes to streamline site erection and sequencing with other trades.
Warranty and Quality Assurance
All materials include manufacturer warranties and we provide a workmanship guarantee on installations performed or managed by our vetted partners. Coatings and galvanizing are specified for Florida coastal exposure to extend service life.
Miami Metal Deck demonstrates experience with municipal and transit contracts, documented project references, insurance appropriate for infrastructure work, and a focus on constructability to reduce rework and change orders.
Specification and Ordering Guidance
Specify deck gauge, rib pattern, topping thickness, and span conditions early to receive accurate pricing and engineered shop drawings. Provide design loads, edge conditions, and any track or equipment support requirements so we can confirm capacity and lead time. Expedited options and coastal finish upgrades are available for Florida transit projects.
