About structural steel erection services
cpc code 5455 covers the industry of structural steel erection services, which plays a crucial role in the construction and infrastructure sectors of the economy. This industry is responsible for the assembly and installation of prefabricated steel components, such as beams, columns, and trusses, to create the structural framework of buildings, bridges, and other large-scale projects. The demand for these services is driven by the ongoing need for new construction, as well as the maintenance and renovation of existing structures.
Production process
The main production techniques used in the structural steel erection industry involve the use of specialized equipment and skilled labor. Workers begin by carefully planning the layout and sequence of the steel components, taking into account factors such as weight, size, and load-bearing requirements. They then use cranes, hoists, and other lifting equipment to position and secure the steel elements in their designated locations, often working at heights to complete the installation. Welding, bolting, and other fastening methods are used to ensure the structural integrity of the assembled framework.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for the structural steel erection industry include raw steel materials, such as beams, columns, and trusses, which are typically sourced from 3312 Steel manufacturing. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as cranes, hoists, and welding machines, as well as a skilled workforce of ironworkers, riggers, and other construction professionals.
Production outputs
The primary output of the structural steel erection industry is the completed structural framework for buildings, bridges, and other large-scale projects. These structures serve as the foundation for a wide range of construction activities, including 2362 Nonresidential building construction, 2371 Utility system construction, and 2373 Highway, street, and bridge construction.
