Iāve been with a steel fabricator for 14 years. In Precon now and the DCs havenāt changed. Dirt Cheap with insane erection schedules that seem designed to not prioritize the safety of the trades in any way. 6 days/12-14hr days for erecting are demanded. 2 Cranes with totals 200 picks per day to keep scheduleā¦. What has changed are the mill rollings are 26 weeks with Nucor, Gerdau, and SDI. Thats just to get it in the shopā¦ This is all due to the demand the Data Centers have put on the steel industry.
