The smaller items carried through the plans.
Embeds, lintels, bollards, ladders and equipment supports. The scope a job struggles to place.
They don’t always look like the biggest part of the job until another trade is waiting on one. We’ve done enough of these jobs to know the little steel can become the urgent steel pretty fast.
- Embeds and weld platesCast-in plates and embeds detailed and delivered ahead of the concrete pour, not after it.
- Lintels and loose angleLoose lintels, shelf angle and relieving angle to the masonry opening schedule.
- Bollards and postsPipe bollards, guard posts and wheel stops, set and filled.
- Ladders and roof accessFixed ladders, roof hatches and cages to the access details.
- Equipment supports and dunnageRooftop dunnage and support steel for mechanical units, pipe and screen walls.
- Plate and angle workTrench frames, pit angles, kick plates, and the pieces that only ever appear in a detail.
What this scope gets held to.
The codes, material and tolerances your engineer and your inspector will measure this work against. If your specification is tighter than any of it, say so on the drawings and we’ll price it that way.
Codes and standards
- AISC 303 and AISC 360 for the loose steel that carries load
- AWS D1.1 for welding
- OSHA 1910.23 and IBC for fixed ladders, cages and roof access
- IBC for guards at platforms, pits and openings
- Equipment supports to the mechanical schedule and the engineer’s detail
Material and finish
- A36 plate, bar and angle
- A500 tube and A53 pipe for bollards, posts and rail
- A123 hot-dip galvanizing for anything outside or in a wet area
- A307 and F3125 fasteners, A153 galvanized hardware
- Deformed bar anchors and headed studs on cast-in plates
Documentation
- Pieces marked and bundled by area, with a ticket that matches the schedule
- Galvanizing certificates on request
This is the order we like to do it in.
- 01
Take off the misc schedule
We go through the plans and pull the miscellaneous metals scope properly, including the pieces buried in details rather than listed on a schedule.
- 02
Flag what is missing
Misc schedules are usually incomplete. We tell you what we think is missing while there’s still time to price it.
- 03
Fabricate to sequence
Embeds first, because they’re needed before a pour. Everything else lands to the schedule rather than in one drop.
- 04
Deliver and install
Set, welded or grouted in place, with the pieces other trades install delivered marked and on time.
Jobs our crews actually built.
Photographed by the crews who were there. Five from this scope, not a general reel.
Will you take the misc scope if someone else has the structural?
Yes. Misc metals is a scope we’re happy to hold on its own, and it’s often the one a job can’t find a taker for.
How late is too late for embeds?
Before the pour. Once concrete is down, an embed becomes a drilled anchor and a conversation with the engineer. Get us the plans early and that never comes up.
Do you galvanize?
We coordinate galvanizing for anything living outside or in a wet area. Painted steel in the wrong spot is a callback waiting to happen.
Is there a job too small?
No. A handful of lintels and a ladder is a normal week for us.
The scope nobody else wants to chase.
Send us the misc schedule and we’ll pull it properly, including the pieces buried in details.
