Engineering for Miscellaneous Steel Components and Structures

MISCELLANEOUS STEEL DESIGN

Custom Platform & Canopy Design

We design durable and functional steel platforms and canopies that meet structural and aesthetic requirements. Whether integrated into a building or free-standing, our designs ensure stability, weather resistance, and code compliance for long-term performance.

Steel Ladders & Access Solutions

Our steel ladder designs provide safe and code-compliant access solutions for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. We engineer fixed ladders, caged ladders, and rooftop access solutions that prioritize safety, strength, and ease of installation.

Free-Standing Structures & Stair Platforms

We specialize in free-standing stair platforms and structural steel systems that require independent support. Our engineering expertise ensures stability, proper load distribution, and compliance with OSHA and IBC standards for safety and durability.

Structural Integrity & Fabrication Efficiency

Our miscellaneous steel designs prioritize fabrication efficiency and ease of installation while maintaining structural integrity. We work closely with fabricators and contractors to ensure clear detailing, cost-effective solutions, and seamless project execution.

Platform Design

We engineer durable and code-compliant steel platforms for industrial, commercial, and access applications, ensuring safety, stability, and efficient load distribution.

Free-Standing Canopy

Our free-standing canopy designs provide structural protection from the elements with engineered support systems that ensure durability and weather resistance.

Steel Ladders

We design custom steel ladders, including fixed and caged options, to provide safe and compliant access solutions for rooftops, industrial sites, and multi-level structures.

Canopy Design

Our canopy designs integrate strength and aesthetics, offering structural steel solutions for building entries, walkways, and covered outdoor spaces.

Free-Standing Stair Platforms

We design self-supporting stair platforms that provide stable, code-compliant access solutions for elevated entry points, industrial applications, and modular structures.

Miscellaneous Steel Engineering

Miscellaneous steel engineering services for all types of structures and components such as canopies, ladders, platforms, stair towers, hung platforms, catwalks and other free-standing structures.

Engineering for free-standing structures such as canopies and stair towers includes analysis for wind and seismic lateral loads in conjunction with all other code prescribed loads. Foundation design can be provided as well. Platform design projects include stairs and handrails along with their connections.
