A KEY PART OF YOUR PROJECT’S SUCCESS

Red Cedar’s nationwide ability allows us to be part of complex projects. Our highlytrained and experienced ironworkers are committed to safety, reliability, and excellence. In our 45 years of operation, Red Cedar has gained recognition as a top steel erection firm.

STEEL ERECTION

Red Cedar has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s top steel erectors and holds the AISC Certified Steel Erector credential. Each year, we complete thousands of projects across the U.S. ranging from engineered erection plans to building automotive and data manufacturing centers, corporate headquarters, schools, and more.

LARGE STEEL ERECTION

Budgeting and Estimating: We pride ourselves on providing an accurate early understanding of expected costs during schematic, design development, and early construction document phases. Our dedicated team of experienced estimating professionals can provide accurate budgets from concept to full buyout.

Red Cedar utilizes On-Screen Takeoff (OST) for 2D and SDS/2 for 3D projects. With these refined documents and models, our estimators complete full steel budgets including:

> Structural steel quantities

> Complete miscellaneous packages

> Full durations and accurate estimates

> Job-specific requirements

> Critical lift analysis

> Local market knowledge

Project Management: Upon project award, our estimating team conducts a formal turnover to the operations team to ensure a seamless transition, this includes project management and key field supervisors. Each project is reviewed through the plans, specifications, schedule, special conditions, and other parameters to determine the best approach. Once assigned to a Project Manager, that professional manages the project from beginning to closeout to enhance collaboration and clarity.

Red Cedar uses sophisticated IT and software systems to enhance communication and productivity including BlueBeam Revu, SDS/2 Erector, MS Project, OST ,and a host of other applications and systems to keep our projects on-track. Each field leader is equipped with specialized tablets for the ability to review all drawings, changes, RFI’s, models and other critical information in the field.

Logistics and Planning: Construction is a manufacturing process with a different “factory floor” on every project. To be highly productive and minimize the critical path, efficient logistics planning is necessary, especially for large components such as structural steel. Steel deliveries need to be scheduled at appropriate times to follow the erection sequence, be placed within reach of cranes moving other equipment and have clear swing areas or transport paths for safe erection.

Red Cedar’s operations team works closely with the General Contractor and steel fabricator to craft a well-planned and coordinated logistics plan to ensure the best productivity. Using PlanGrid or SDS/2 software to analyze sequencing and crane options, we graphically overlay our preferred locations for coordinating with the project team.

Crane and Critical Lift Analysis: Red Cedar uses 3D Lift Plan and SDS/2 software to optimize and choose the right hoisting equipment, including cranes based on the specific project parameters (e.g., logistics and staging, critical path sequencing, and general contractor preferences). Using 3D (e.g., IFC or BIM) files from the fabricator or Structural Engineer, Red Cedar can model the erection using different types of cranes based on availability, capacity, and cost. This software allows us to:

> Optimize crane placement during each sequencing phase

> Analyze maximum reach and lift based on placements

> Identify critical lifts of heavy pieces

> Quickly react to potential changes

Survey and Layout: From the layout of the anchor bolts to the elevation and plumb of structural members, proper benchmarking and dimension control is critical in structural steel erection. For precise site layout, Red Cedar has dedicated professionals using the latest Robotic Total Stations to analyze information from the documents and models to create accurate controls and reading.

In the earliest project stages, we utilize our LEICA iCR70 Robotic Total Stations to translate digital design information to on-theground control. We regularly work with the General Contractor’s survey team to confirm benchmarks, elevations, and offsets. This achieves accurate placement of anchors bolts, plates and other attachment items in the concrete to minimize discrepancies. Once the concrete is poured, Red Cedar runs an anchor bolt survey to quickly identify any issues that may affect the column placement. Geospatial field information is transferred to office and field crews (as-needed) for RFI’s or placement in as-built 3D models. During the steel erection, the total stations are used to confirm plumb and elevation for different members and identify anomalies that might need to be addressed.

Erection Sequencing: A solid sequencing plan is the key to project success for the fabricator, general contractor, and Red Cedar. The sequencing plan determines how the project will be erected based on the structural requirements, schedule, fabrication and delivery logistics, and the type of hoisting equipment used.

For every large project involving a crane, Red Cedar utilizes our SDS/2 software to visualize the project in 3D. Optimizing sequencing plans involves analyzing the structural members, the crane capabilities, critical lift requirements, site restrictions, and scope integration with others trade to determine the proper sequence. Since the model is interactive, Red Cedar can share and collaborate with the fabricator and general contractor to discuss and develop an appropriate plan. A good sequencing operation achieves productive use of the labor and equipment and keeps the project on schedule.

AISC CERTIFIED ERECTOR

Red Cedar is an American Institute of Steel (AISC) Certified Erector and possesses the AISC Quality Management Systems (QMS) Certification. This certification program is the GOLD STANDARD for the structural steel industry and is the most recognized national quality certification program. Engaging an AISC Certified Erector like Red Cedar assures Owner, designers and construction industry partners that certified participants have the personnel, organization, experience, documented procedures, knowledge, equipment, and commitment to quality to expertly perform structural steel erection. AISC focuses on the entire process of erection, to initiate quality at the start by focusing on error prevention rather than error correction.

Red Cedar follows a very strict quality control management program that includes training, regular quality verification and annual audit of our practices by AISC. Components of our comprehensive AISC Quality Assurance plan include:

> Management Responsibilities

SPECIALTY PROJECTS AND INTRICATE WORK

Red Cedar's experience with specialized work outside of the typical industry process is tremendous. Renovation, conversion, or expansion projects using steel are complex and often involve intricate detailing and engineering to coordinate with existing structures.

Red Cedar provides turnkey services (e.g., design, engineering, fabrication (through partners), and installation) for complex installations and relieves the General Contractor and/or Client from that effort.

Engineering and Detailing: We have significant steel fabrication experience, which allows Red Cedar to offer specialized engineering and detailing as a turnkey package. Using both technology and on-site investigation, Red Cedar utilizes our SDS/2 software to create exact shop drawings that can be given to a fabricator. Using engineering partners, all requirements are completely detailed and stamped by a licensed, professional Structural Engineer prior to fabrication and coordinated with the Engineer of Record.

Factory Equipment Setting: Today’s manufacturing environments require complex and precise collaboration to properly set and stabilize equipment. From additive manufacturing systems to robotic assembly lines, Red Cedar works with all stakeholders including equipment manufacturers to assemble skilled teams of ironworkers, millwrights, electricians, and others for proper handling, placement and installation of critical equipment after the structure is complete.

Specialty Equipment Mounting: From hospitals with specialized ceiling mounted imaging systems to data centers with miles of electrical and cable management, numerous facilities require specialized “structure-hung” mounting designs for equipment. Red Cedar offers a turnkey process of engineering, design, fabrication and installation of these oftenoverlooked systems.
