Structural Steel Erection & Installation Services 

American Aerial Services is more than an AISC Certified steel erector. We are the premier steel structure erection company in Maine, taking on projects of nearly any shape and size, and of varying degrees of complexity. We are able to do this thanks to a combination of knowledge, equipment, and personnel that few others can match.

Typical Steel Structure Project Timeline

There are two things we can say with confidence: first, that no two projects will be alike. Second, that the number of variables in play with any structural steel project makes clear communication an absolute must. To that end, we encourage you to bring everyone to the table well ahead of time — property owners or managers, your general contractor, steel fabricators, and (of course) the team at American Aerial Services — to ensure that the project can be planned from its broad strokes to the fine details. For us, cutting corners is not an option; our early involvement ensures that we can keep you on deadline and on budget without compromising on quality.

Once the planning is complete, we can get down to brass tacks. Our two decades’ worth of experience gives us a unique perspective and a highly useful skill set. From inside rigging to attractive steel facades applied to buildings, we can undertake anything from the simple to the complex — including reinforcement and retrofits of existing structures.

Other Services Offered

Often as not, our structural work takes place alongside other types of projects in which we specialize. Case in point: our stair and rail installations, a logical complement to our structural steel work.

While we are not fabricators, we have the skill and the artist’s touch that comes in handy when our installations are taking place in public-facing areas. Our railings, stairs, ramps, and pedestrian walkways are OSHA compliant, meet or exceed building codes, and will also take into account insurance or any other project-specific requirements you may need.

Why Choose American Aerial Services?

We are acutely aware that we are hardly the only steel erector service in the state of Maine. However, we stand by our work because our methods, machinery, and — most importantly — our people are some of the best in the business.

Each job is undertaken by a team of AISC certified steel erectors working hand in glove with trained and drug-tested NCCCO-certified crane operators. Our staff abides by the values of our founder Jim Read, who has made American Aerial Services a trusted name for steel erecting, crane rentals, and so much more in the Portland, ME area.
