• Install metal deck, grating, handrail, stairs, ladders, toe boards, and access steel around turbine packages, pipe racks, and stack structures
• Set embed plates, anchor bolts, and bearing surfaces so millwrights can land, level, and grout trailer- and skid-mounted turbine and generator packages
• Place and tie rebar for foundations, equipment pads, and pedestals ahead of each pour
• Read structural, erection, and placing drawings; field-fit miscellaneous iron as directed and flag drawing conflicts before steel is landed

• Coordinate bolt-up, grating, and pour windows with millwrights, pipefitters, and concrete so the next craft is not waiting on steel
