Firstly, let’s define ‘steel’: an iron alloy with small amounts of carbon, and structural steel is specifically designed to form skeletal, load-bearing frames of buildings, bridges, or other industrial structures.
The reason steel became so widely used is due to its resilience and robustness, but also for its ability to be shaped and fabricated into a wide range of forms to suit project needs, including I-beams, channels, angles, and hollow sections.
What Is Structural Steel Fabrication?
Structural steel fabrication is the process of cutting, bending, drilling, and assembling the structural steel to create the custom frames needed for construction projects. It requires precision engineering to ensure integrity and compliance.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Consultation & Design: This essential phase will ensure the structural steel will meet the building and project requirements.
- Cutting & Shaping: The steel is then cut and bent into the chosen shapes using precise, high-tech machinery.
- Welding & Assembly: Professional welders will ensure the steel components are assembled accurately for strength and stability.
- Finishing & Installation: The structure is then cleaned, and a coating, such as paint, is added to prevent corrosion before being installed. Source
