Summary
- Code-compliant Type B metal decking
- Fast local supply and fabrication
- Warranty and engineered installations
Miami Metal Deck supplies and installs Type B metal deck systems engineered for the unique demands of airports and terminals across Florida. Our solutions are specified to meet FAA guidance and Florida Building Code requirements, resist salt-air corrosion, and integrate with fireproofing, acoustic treatments, and rooftop equipment. You benefit from certified materials, shop-fabricated panels to tight tolerances, coordinated shop drawings, and field support that keeps tight airport schedules on track.
Why Choose Type B Deck for Airports
Type B metal deck is frequently specified for terminal roofs and mezzanines because of its high strength-to-weight ratio and compatibility with roof assemblies and acoustic systems. Available in multiple gauges and flute profiles, it supports long spans and concentrated equipment loads while minimizing dead load. We work with architects and structural engineers to select the correct profile, gauge, and span tables to meet live load, equipment, and serviceability requirements.
Miami Metal Deck maintains compliance with Florida Building Code and IBC provisions relevant to airport structures. We supply ASTM A653-certified steel with mill test reports and offer G60 or G90 galvanization options for coastal projects to mitigate corrosion. Documentation for submittals and inspections is provided to support airport authority reviews and owner requirements.
Engineering, Codes, and Fire Performance
Our engineering team provides stamped shop drawings, connection details, and load tables tailored to each airport project. We design for wind uplift, crane and equipment loads, and sequencing constraints. Coordination with MEP, fire protection, and roofing trades ensures assemblies meet fire ratings and acoustic targets required in terminal environments.
For Florida conditions we recommend higher galvanization like G90 or specialty coatings to extend service life in salt-air environments. We also integrate fire-resistant treatments, acoustic insulation attachments, and manufacturer-approved coatings to meet performance and longevity expectations for airports.
Miami Metal Deck Differentiators
Local Miami fabrication reduces lead times and freight exposure. We prefabricate panels to tight tolerances to speed installation and minimize field rework. Our installation crews are experienced with airport phasing, night work, security protocols, and working in active terminals to avoid operational disruption.
Quality assurance includes weld inspection, dimensional control, mill certificates, and optional third-party testing. We support project audits, provide traceability for materials, and back installations with workmanship standards and product warranty language suited to public and private airport owners.
Specification & Installation Services
We provide specification support, shop drawings, fabrication, delivery, and on-site installation services for Type B metal deck projects at Florida airports and terminals. Our turnkey approach streamlines procurement for GCs and construction managers, reduces installation risk, and accommodates phased schedules required in operational facilities.
