Main Building Steel
Columns, beams, joists, and roof framing erected to spec for kiln buildings, sawmills, and industrial steel building installations.
Structural Steel Erection
Structural Steel Erection For Sawmills & Industrial Facilities
SAFE. PLUMB. ON SCHEDULE.
KilnTech provides self-performed structural steel erection for kiln buildings, sawmills, lumber facilities, mezzanines, and supporting industrial structures across the Southeast.
Section 01
Why Lumber Facilities Need Reliable Structural Steel Erection
Structural steel is the bones of every kiln building, planer mill, and dry shed. Plumb columns, properly torqued connections, and accurate alignment determine whether the equipment inside actually runs the way it was designed to.
Our structural steel erection crews come up through industrial work — kilns, sawmills, and heavy production buildings. They understand tolerances, sequencing, and how to work safely inside running lumber operations.
Section 02
Steel Erection Scope
Main steel through miscellaneous metals — coordinated as one trade.
Kiln Building Steel
Steel erection for batch and continuous kiln buildings, including integration with shell, plenum, and door systems.
Mezzanines & Platforms
Engineered mezzanines, stairs, and access platforms erected for inspection, maintenance, and operator access.
Conveyor & Equipment Supports
Structural supports for lumber conveyors, infeed/outfeed decks, and heavy production equipment.
Misc Steel & Connections
