Structural Steel Erection
Precision Steel, Field-Proven Execution
Our ironworkers and rigging teams erect complex steel assemblies in active plant environments — maintaining production uptime while meeting tight outage windows and stringent QA requirements.
From Shop Drawing to Topped-Out Frame
IronPeak manages the full steel erection lifecycle: material receiving and staging, crane pick planning, bolt-up and welding, decking installation, and final alignment surveys. Our field engineers work directly with fabricators to resolve RFIs before they reach the jobsite.
We maintain dedicated rigging crews certified for critical lifts in confined plant layouts, including tandem crane operations and engineered lift plans reviewed by third-party PEs.
- Multi-crane coordinated picks up to 85 tons
- Pipe rack and equipment platform specialists
- Stainless and alloy steel erection capability
- Non-destructive testing coordination (UT, MT, PT)
- Progress billing tied to erection milestones
Complex Geometry, Zero Compromise on Safety
Erecting steel inside operating facilities demands more than crane capacity — it requires meticulous planning around live utilities, process lines, and restricted access zones. IronPeak's pre-task plans address every lift sequence, exclusion zone, and communication protocol before the first beam leaves the ground.
Our superintendents average 18 years in industrial construction, with documented experience on refinery, LNG, pulp & paper, and automotive assembly projects.
- 100% tie-off policy above 6 feet
- Daily toolbox talks and JSAs for every work front
- Third-party safety audits on all projects over $5M
- Real-time production tracking via field reporting apps
Industrial Plant Construction
Process-Ready Facilities, Built to Operate
We construct the buildings and supporting infrastructure that house production equipment — coordinating civil, structural, and building envelope scopes under a single field leadership team.
Turnkey Shell & Core for Manufacturing
IronPeak delivers complete industrial building packages: site preparation, foundations, structural steel, metal building systems, roofing, cladding, and interior concrete works. Our project teams interface with equipment vendors and process engineers to ensure floor loads, crane capacities, and utility penetrations align with operational requirements.
Whether expanding an existing line or constructing a greenfield facility, we structure contracts to match owner risk tolerance — from guaranteed maximum price to target-cost with shared savings.
- Clear-span bays up to 120 feet
- Overhead crane runway installation
- Controlled environment and cleanroom shells
- Blast-resistant and fire-rated assemblies
- Commissioning support and punch-list management
Heavy Civil Works
Groundwork That Supports Heavy Industry
Industrial projects begin below grade. IronPeak's civil division handles the earthwork, drainage, and concrete foundations that anchor steel structures and process equipment across challenging terrain.
Site Civil & Infrastructure
Mass excavation, cut-and-fill balancing, geogrid stabilization, stormwater management, and permanent haul road construction for remote mining and energy sites. Our fleet includes articulated haul trucks, dozers, and motor graders operated by MSHA-aware crews.
MINING & EXTRACTION
Remote Site Development
Access roads, laydown yards, and support facilities in active mining districts.
ENERGY & UTILITIES
Generation & Substation Civil
Equipment pads, cable trenches, and containment structures for power projects.
Foundations & Concrete
Spread footings, mat foundations, pile caps, equipment pedestals, and containment structures designed for dynamic loads from compressors, turbines, and heavy machinery. Self-perform concrete placement with internal QC testing.

Safety & Quality
Safety Is Not a Priority — It's a Precondition
On industrial sites where a single incident can halt production and endanger lives, IronPeak maintains a safety culture backed by metrics, training, and independent verification.
Performance That Owners Audit
Our safety program exceeds OSHA requirements with site-specific plans, behavioral observation programs, and stop-work authority granted to every employee regardless of title. Quality assurance integrates with erection sequencing — bolt tension verification, weld inspection hold points, and survey checks at each tier.
