Steel maintenance protects the asset.

Puerto Rico exposure can accelerate corrosion if coatings and drainage details do not hold.



We offer post-construction maintenance to help you protect the frame and connected systems.

Maintenance support can include:



  • Structural inspections and condition notes
  • Coating touch-ups and corrosion mitigation planning
  • Water intrusion checks at roof and wall interfaces
  • Repair coordination if a steel element needs remediation

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is included in structural steel services in Puerto Rico?

    We handle the steel scope from planning through installation. This often includes takeoffs and estimating, coordination with the engineer and architect, shop drawing workflow, procurement tracking, delivery logistics, erection sequencing, and closeout for the steel package.


  • Do you manage steel fabrication and erection schedules?

    Yes. We track fabrication milestones, delivery dates, and field erection sequencing so the steel scope stays aligned with the master schedule. We also coordinate site readiness, crane access, and trade handoffs so the job keeps moving.

  • How do you handle quality control for bolting and welding?

    We set clear hold points for critical connections and verify work in the field. We coordinate required inspections, track documentation, and close items fast so connection issues do not roll into the next phase.

  • How do you plan steel coatings for coastal exposure?

    We plan protective systems early based on location, exposure, and project use. That includes coordinating primer, galvanizing, or specialty coatings, plus details that reduce water intrusion and standing moisture that can speed up corrosion.

  • Can you support post-construction maintenance for steel assets?

    Yes. We can support inspections, coating touch-ups, corrosion mitigation planning, and repair coordination when needed. This helps owners protect the structure and avoid small issues turning into costly repairs.
