PDM® Steel Construction

PDM's structural activities began in 1893 with the patent granted for a steel platform and tower to support an elevated water storage tank. By the turn of the century, structural activities had expanded into the fabrication and erection of commercial, institutional, and industrial structures. Over the years this has included traditional structures such as power plants, high-rise buildings, manufacturing plants, hospitals, shopping centers, airports, and office buildings.

PDM is known for building some very unique structures including:

  • 450 foot high wireless towers in France for the U.S. Navy during World War I
  • The storage vaults at Fort Knox
  • Major components for the World Trade Center, New York City
  • 42,000 Ton McCormick Place Expansion, Chicago
  • The 630 foot tall Jefferson Memorial Arch in St. Louis, Missouri
In addition to fabrication and erection, structural activities can be augmented by corporate expertise in design, engineering, and project management.
