Fabrication
Cut, fit, weld, and check the steel in the shop so field installation is controlled and predictable.
Finishing
Powder coating, galvanizing, stainless finishing, or paint preparation is selected for the exposure and design intent.
Installation
Install with attention to protection, alignment, field fit, and final coordination with adjacent trades.
Local conditions
2.4 kPa reference value for early planning. Final engineering confirms project-specific assumptions.
moderate exposure. Finish and hardware choices should follow the exact site conditions.
Snow load and site access details should be resolved before fabrication commitments.
