Can PEC perform structural steel repairs or historical restorations?
Yes. PEC’s Structural Steel Division repairs, retrofits, and restores existing steel frameworks—including historic structures—using AWS-certified welders, in-house detailing, and CNC fabrication. We can duplicate original members, reinforce aging connections, and install new steel without altering the building’s character, all while meeting modern safety codes and load requirements.
From small crack repairs in an industrial mezzanine to full historical restorations of century-old trusses, PEC has you covered. Our dedicated structural steel fabrication team combines 70,000 sq. ft. of shop capacity with mobile rigs and AWS-certified welders to provide turnkey steel repairs, retrofits, and preservation work.
We begin by 3-D scanning or field-measuring the existing frame, then our engineers design repair plates, splice members, or custom replicas that match the original profile. All pieces are cut, drilled, and CNC-machined in-house, then delivered and installed by the same PEC crews—eliminating coordination gaps between fabricator, millwright, and installer.
As an industrial maintenance contractor, we collaborate with your architect and local preservation office when a registered historic building is involved, ensuring the work respects its appearance while meeting today’s IBC/OSHA load ratings. Our millwright and rigging services allow us to shore the roof, remove deteriorated steel safely, and set new beams with minimal disruption to surrounding finishes.
Because PEC also offers process piping installation, electrical control systems integration, and factory equipment maintenance, we can repair the building envelope and get your production line running again under one contract.
