Structural Steel Erection

Many construction firms can erect structural steel. However the D.A. Collins Companies — and our specialty crew of highly trained rigging experts — surpass the capabilities of our competitors. D.A. Collins has completed numerous structural steel projects — for its own subsidiaries and for private industries, such as Harrison and Burrowes Bridge Constructors, Inc.; Geronimo Painting; and Lancaster Development, Inc. We have set steel girders ranging from 100 pounds to 100,000 pounds, using state-of-the-art cranes reaching up to 250 feet in the air. The D.A. Collins team is proficient in structural steel modifications and retrofits to repair and strengthen existing structures. We have the ability to structurally lift and temporarily support concrete decks and steel frames to replace weakened bearings or complete other repairs. Safety is what counts when working hundreds of feet in the air. Our team undergoes rigorous training each year to ensure hazards don’t occur. We also have completed many projects on the water, where special precautions are needed to ensure the safety of crews and equipment.
