Fabrication
Structural & Tubular Steel
All five of our fabrication facilities hold AISC certification. We perform multiple quality inspections throughout the fabrication process, and our fitters and welders are certified to shop and AWS standards. Management at each of our facilities continuously looks for ways to make improvements that ensure we meet the highest standards.
In addition to structural steel for substations and tubular poles for transmission/distribution lines, we fabricate steel for buildings, conveyor systems, concrete imbeds, and special made-to-order projects.
