About structural steel erection services

cpc code 54550 covers the industry of structural steel erection services, which plays a crucial role in the construction and infrastructure development sectors. This industry is responsible for the installation and assembly of prefabricated steel components, such as beams, columns, and trusses, to create the structural framework of buildings, bridges, and other large-scale projects. The structural steel erection industry is a vital part of the broader construction industry, contributing to the development of modern, resilient, and efficient built environments.

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, ensuring that they fit together seamlessly. They then use cranes, hoists, and other heavy machinery to lift and position the steel elements, often working at heights to complete the installation. Welding, bolting, and other fastening methods are used to securely connect the steel components, creating a strong and stable structure.

Production inputs

The structural steel erection industry relies on a variety of inputs, including raw materials such as 42210 Steel in primary forms, specialized equipment like cranes and hoists, and a highly skilled workforce of ironworkers, welders, and construction professionals. Additionally, the industry requires access to detailed engineering plans and blueprints, as well as efficient transportation and logistics to deliver the steel components to the construction site.

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 steel structures serve as the foundation for a wide range of construction activities, including the installation of 54560 Roofing services, 54570 Concrete work services, and 54580 Masonry and stone work services. The structural steel erection industry's output is essential for the development of modern, resilient, and efficient infrastructure, contributing to the overall growth and progress of the economy.
