Structural Steel Fabrication
Fabricating structural steel beams, columns, and connections for buildings and infrastructure.
Structural steel fabrication is the process of cutting, drilling, welding, and assembling steel beams, columns, braces, and connections that form the skeleton of buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. It is one of the highest-volume segments of the metal fabrication industry. Structural steel fabricators work from engineering drawings to produce members ready for field erection. The process typically involves receiving raw steel from service centers, CNC beam line processing (cutting, drilling, coping), welding connection plates and stiffeners, fit-up and assembly, and applying protective coatings. AISC-certified fabricators follow rigorous quality management systems. When selecting a structural steel fabricator, verify their AISC certification category matches your project requirements, confirm their capacity can handle your tonnage and schedule, and check their experience with similar project types (commercial buildings, industrial facilities, bridges). Location matters for structural steel due to the high cost of shipping heavy members.
