Materials & Finishes

Materials and finishes are selected based on structural requirements, exposure conditions, and project specifications. Fabrication is performed to engineered drawings and industry standards to ensure predictable performance, proper fit-up, and efficient field erection.

Structural Steel Materials:

  • Best For - Most structural framing systems in commercial and industrial construction.
    Why It’s Used - High strength, predictable performance, and compatibility with welded and bolted connections.
    Common Applications - Beams, columns, frames, bracing, joists, roof systems, and load‑bearing assemblies. Note - Requires a protective coating or finish based on exposure conditions. Common Grades - ASTM A36, A992, A572, A53 (pipe), A500 (HSS)

  • Best For - Exterior or partially exposed structural applications.
    Why It’s Used - Designed to perform in outdoor environments when properly detailed and protected by specified coatings or galvanizing.
    Common Applications - Exterior frames, canopies, exposed roof structures, equipment supports, and façade‑integrated steel. Common Grades: ASTM A588 (weathering steel), or carbon steel with protective coating systems.

structural componets & assemblies:

  • Fabricated structural members produced to engineered drawings and project specifications, including shop welding, drilling, cambering (when required), and fit-up for efficient field erection.

  • Custom‑fabricated plates, clips, and assemblies designed to support proper load transfer, alignment, and constructability in the field.

  • Structural embeds, anchor components, and miscellaneous steel fabricated for integration into concrete and foundation systems, coordinated with project drawings and placement requirements.

finish systems:

  • Best For - Interior structural steel or systems receiving field‑applied coatings.
    Applied after fabrication to provide temporary corrosion protection prior to erection and final finishing. Important Note - Shop primer is intended to reduce rust during handling, shipping, and installation and is not a final finish unless specifically noted in project specifications. Surface preparation requirements are commonly referenced per SSPC standards.

  • Best For - Exterior or high‑moisture environments requiring long‑term corrosion resistance. Steel is galvanized in accordance with ASTM A123 (fabricated steel) and ASTM A153 (hardware) where specified.
    Used When - Project specifications require enhanced corrosion protection for exposed structural steel. Appearance Note - Hot-dip galvanizing prioritizes corrosion protection and results in a non-uniform, industrial appearance - not intended for smooth architectural finishes.

  • Best For - Projects requiring defined coating systems prior to delivery.
    Applied in accordance with project specifications and coordination requirements and may include epoxy, intermediate, and topcoat paint systems. Final coating selection and thickness are determined by exposure conditions, performance requirements, and governing specifications.

Fabrication & Coordination

Structural steel is fabricated in-house to approved drawings and project specifications. We coordinate closely with engineers, detailers, and other trades to support accurate fit, proper sequencing, and efficient erection. Our process emphasizes clear communication and coordination throughout fabrication and installation.
