PCI Qualified Erector (S2) by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) in North America

Precast concrete is a versatile and cost-effective building material.

It is a particularly appropriate choice when speed of delivery, durability, functionality, or sustainability are important considerations. Midwest Steel has the administrative, engineering and job site expertise required to ensure a successful project that incorporates precast concrete.

A wide variety of components can be fabricated from precast concrete, meeting a range of project needs on virtually any type of construction project.

Midwest Steel, North America's largest structural steel contractor, is designated as PCI Qualified Erector (S2) by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI).

The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) is the central organization that serves as the nexus of knowledge, specifications and industry best practices regarding the precast/prestressed concrete industry. The PCI is the approving authority for certification programs of plants, erectors and personnel working with this material.


The designation as a PCI Qualified Erector - Category S2 indicates that Midwest Steel has the appropriate accreditation to work on projects in these categories:

Category S1-Simple Structural Systems

This includes horizontal decking members (such as hollow core slabs on masonry walls) and single-left wall panels attached to a structure.

Category S2-Complex Structural Systems

This includes everything contained in S1 as well as total precast concrete systems, multi-product structures (those that combine vertical and horizontal members), and single-or multistory load-bearing members, including those with architectural finishes.


The management, staff and workforce of Midwest Steel is proud to include PCI Qualified Erector among its professional certifications.
