Steel Erection

Nova Steel Erection

CSCS-qualified steel erection teams nationwide.

Overview

What Nova Steel Erection covers

Nova Steel Erection provides skilled, CSCS- and NVQ-qualified erection teams for portal frames, mezzanines, industrial and commercial structures. We mobilise with the crane, the rigging and the supervision — ready to work to your programme.

We erect to BS EN 1090 execution class requirements, working from the fabricator's GA and erection drawings. Our teams set columns and baseplates first, then run primary and secondary steelwork, bracing and decking — all under a documented erection sequence and lift plan.

Whether it's a single mezzanine in a warehouse or a multi-bay portal frame inside a live petrochemical site, we bring the crane, the MEWPs, the rigging and the qualified erectors as one package.

FAQs

Common questions

Do you provide the crane as well?
Yes — we package the crane under a CPA contract lift along with the erection team, so it is one contract and one accountable supplier.
