The Stages of Structural Steel Fabrication
- Cutting Structural Steel
First, structural steel is cut by fabricators through sharing, sawing, or chiselling with different tools that include plasma, torches, water jets, and laser cutters. This is just the first stage of structural steel fabrication that is typically done in a manufacturing facility that is closed and has abundant safety precautions in place to protect workers.
- Bending Structural Steel
The second step to fabricating structural steel is to bend the alloy. Fabricators either hammer the steel manually or use machines. The decision on whether to do one or the other usually depends on how much repetitive bending the project requires. The more repetitive bending needed, the more likely the fabricator will rely on machinery.
- Assembling Structural Steel
The final step of creating a structure involves combining the different parts of steel together. This is also usually done by welding—the application of heat to the steel parts to slowly join them together—but the pieces can also be bound together with adhesives or rivet construction.
To shape the pieces of steel into a structure, fabricators use equipment and design software to supervise the project.
Regardless of the industry, most steel sections are produced in the facility and only afterward assembled on-site.
Why Weld Structural Steel?
While welding can be central to combining steel structures together, it also serves an important second function of making steel stronger.
- High-Pressure Applications
If it wasn’t for welding and fabrication, we wouldn’t be able to rely on steel in high-pressure applications, for example, columns or I-beams in commercial buildings. Welding gives contractors a much safer way to connect beams without losing strength at the welded joints.
- Foundations & Building Modifications
Even further, foundations and building modifications rely on successful welding for their success. Welding frequently replaces rivet construction because it is superior when it comes to the strength and durability it lends structures.
- Higher Complexity
Improvements in welding techniques have gone further lately in allowing for higher complexity and more style in architectural designs—and the steel itself is stronger and more dependable than it ever was.
- Cost-Effectiveness
Not only is welded steel safer, but it is also cost-effective because it is easier and less time-intensive to mold projects together that are designed with welded steel. And, with arc welding processes, the weight of structural steel projects can be reduced by at least a third.
Why Fabricate Structural Steel?
There are many benefits to incorporating structural steel in construction and other projects, but the products themselves can be complex and demand experienced structural steel fabrication teams to be successful.
- Affordability
Compared to other metal options, steel is stronger and cheaper. It offers more value in the range of fabrication industries where it is a staple.
- Prefabrication Ability
In the construction and other industries, structural steel usually arrives in the pre-fabrication phase and is fabricated onsite. Pre-fabrications reduces how much work needs to be done on-site, fast-tracking projects.
- Low Maintenance
Materials other than steel tend to be higher maintenance. For example, wood is vulnerable to bugs and can break down during corrosive weather conditions. Steel, meanwhile, is easily repaired and lasts a long time.
- Appearance
Put simply, steel looks great and can enhance the appearance of different projects regardless of the look required.
Application of Work:
- Manufacturing
In the manufacturing industry, structural steel is used to produce platforms, steel ladders, industrial stairs, mezzanines,steel handrails, and more.
- Construction
In the construction industry, architects, engineers, and contractors default to structural steel and steel beams, steel,plates, girders, and H-shaped steel sections all form parts of large fabricated sections.
- Energy
The energy industries rely on fabricated structural steel in the form of transmission towers, wind turbines, pipelines, and oil and gas well platforms, among others.
- Mining
Steel is a fixture of the mining industry and structural steel is part of mining infrastructure. Structural steel sections common in mining include fittings, pipes, grating, rods, beams, and rails.
