FIELD FIX ENGINEERING

Services for Steel Fabricators

FIELD FIX ENGINEERING
Rapid Structural Solutions
We provide engineered field fixes to quickly address unexpected issues during construction, minimizing project delays while ensuring structural integrity. Our solutions are designed to be practical, cost-effective, and easy to implement in the field.
On-Site Problem Assessment
Our team works closely with contractors and erectors to assess field issues, whether due to fabrication errors, misalignment, or design changes. We analyze the problem in real-time and provide immediate recommendations to keep the project moving.
Engineered Fixes & Load Verification
We design precise field fixes that maintain structural performance, ensuring compliance with load requirements and industry standards. Our expertise includes reinforcing connections, modifying steel components, and implementing alternative bracing solutions.
Seamless Coordination & Documentation
We collaborate with engineers, fabricators, and construction teams to ensure field fixes align with project specifications. Clear documentation, stamped approvals, and real-time support streamline the implementation process and prevent further issues.

Engineered Field Fixes for Steel Fabricators and Erectors

Problems in the field can arise from a number of issues including fabrication errors, detailing errors, walls constructed out of plumb and design changes just to name a few. No matter what the source of your field problems, we can help engineer a solution that is as cost effective as possible.

Our team is experienced with structural steel fabrication and erection and able to provide fixes that can be performed in the field.
