Our steel beams (holding up the back of the house) had to be double
plaster boarded all round.

Can't remember how the first layer was fixed to the steel.

If it's an 'I' beam, common way was to hammer in wood wedges to the 'I'
and nail the plasterboard into them. And make them overlap the edge of the
beam so the bottom plasterboard could be nailed to the edge. I'm sure
there are ways of making the whole lot smaller, though.
