The PIP STS05130:2018 standard, titled the Structural and Miscellaneous Steel Erection Specification, lays out the guidelines for the proper handling, assembly, and field inspection of structural and miscellaneous steel. These materials are defined in the ANSI/AISC 303-16 Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges. The standard encompasses all aspects of the process, from the receipt of the steel to the final erection on the construction site.

One of the key focuses of this standard is to ensure that all steel components are received and handled in a manner that minimizes damage and maintains their structural integrity. It also provides comprehensive instructions on how to effectively erect and assemble the steel, ensuring proper alignment and stability. Additionally, the standard emphasizes the importance of thorough field inspections to ensure that all erected steel structures meet the required quality and safety standards.
