Typical Parts and Assemblies
Structural metal fabrication plays a vital role in nearly every industrial sector—from oil and gas to mining, material handling, utilities, and manufacturing. As a leading industrial steel fabricator, we build the backbone of complex projects. Our work supports mission-critical operations where failure is not an option.
The types of parts and assemblies we fabricate include:
- Skid Frames: Used to mount equipment like pumps, compressors, and generators.
- Pipe Racks: Steel structures designed to carry piping, conduit, and cabling across facilities.
- Machine Bases: Flat, reinforced assemblies for mounting CNCs, presses, and heavy machinery.
- Support Platforms: Load-bearing walkways, stairs, and mezzanines for access and operation.
- Enclosures and Cabinets: Protective housings for electrical and hydraulic systems.
Each structure is designed in-house or based on client drawings, with 3D modeling to verify fit and function. We supply complete BOM documentation, cut lists, and weld maps to support transparent project tracking and client approvals.
Our custom fabrication services for industrial infrastructure include engineering support to modify existing designs for manufacturability and installation ease.
Load, Compliance, and Safety
In industrial settings, structural failures can cause downtime, injury, or even catastrophic system loss. That’s why our structural fabrication projects are governed by rigorous codes and client specifications.
Our team engineers assemblies for static and dynamic loads, factoring in environmental forces, vibration, and thermal effects. We use structural steel grades with known yield and tensile strength, and document all WPS (weld procedure specs) and PQRs (procedure qualification records) to ensure every process is validated.
We routinely work to standards such as:
- AWS: Structural welding for steel
- ASME: For projects involving pressure systems
- ISO 9001: Quality management system compliance
For clients in regulated sectors—energy, pharma, food—documentation is just as important as metal. We offer traceability packages including MTRs (mill test reports), inspection checklists, and QA/QC signoffs on every major subassembly. Load rating calculations and PE-stamped drawings are available when needed.
Welding and Finishing Requirements
Welding is the cornerstone of structural fabrication. Poor welds compromise strength and longevity. That’s why we maintain a team of certified professionals trained in a wide range of techniques and processes.
Our Welding Capabilities Include:
- MIG (GMAW): Fast, efficient, and versatile across many structural components.
- Flux-Core (FCAW): Suitable for thicker sections and field-quality welds.
- Stick (SMAW): Used for on-site touchups, repairs, or hard-to-reach welds.
Welds are qualified per AWS specs. We perform bend tests, macro etch inspections, and visual assessments on a regular basis. Our welders log each bead for traceability.
After welding, most structural assemblies undergo surface prep and protective coating. We offer:
- Sandblasting or shot blasting to SSPC standards
- Primer coating with epoxy, zinc-rich, or alkyd bases
- Powder coating for cosmetic applications
- Hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion resistance
Our industrial metal finishing services are designed for harsh environments where corrosion, heat, and wear are daily challenges. We also test coating thickness and adhesion to ensure long-term performance.
Example Industrial Project
One notable project involved fabricating more than 50 custom structural frames for a large-scale recycling facility. The project had multiple phases, tight deadlines, and coordination with contractors across three states.
Scope of Work:
- Fabricate 100+ tons of structural steel components
- Produce and install support frames for conveyors, crushers, and processing tanks
- Integrate stair towers and maintenance platforms into the design
- Match all parts to 3D models and provide bolt-up alignment points
- Hot-dip galvanize every structural piece for coastal durability
The challenge was delivering fit-up ready parts with minimal field rework. We succeeded through digital QA scanning, barcode-based component tracking, and pre-kitting assemblies by install zone. Our client commended our industrial structural fabrication expertise and ability to scale up without delays.
This kind of work highlights our strength as a turnkey industrial fabrication company—from early planning to final delivery.
If you’re managing an industrial project and need a partner that understands loads, specs, safety, and site-readiness, we’d be glad to talk. Our shop is built for heavy lifting, and our team is built for industrial precision.
