The process of steel fabrication involves taking raw steel and turning it into something that can be used for a product or purpose. It typically involves melting down the steel and then transforming it into steel beam fabrication for use in construction and many other industrial applications. The application of stainless steel in building construction is very popular for a number of reasons. Learn more about the benefits of steel beam fabrication here. Durability In the world of construction and steel beam fabrication, durability is a key benefit. Steel beams have a heavy ratio for strength to weight. Durability is... View Article

Steel is often used as a metaphor for strength or as an adjective to describe the depth and breadth of someone’s resolve. That makes sense because steel is one of the toughest and most-used metals in not only the United States but the world over. The iron-based metal compound is used in everything from construction to appliances. In construction applications, steel beams are fabricated and cut to fit together to form the skeleton of commercial and residential structures. The most common types of steel beams used in construction are S-beams (standard), W-beams (wide flange) and H-beams (pile). There are also... View Article

Steel-working is the backbone of the American industrial economy. It’s a vital cog in the country’s infrastructure and construction operations. It’s impossible to discuss urban development without mentioning steelwork and metal fabrication. Most large-scale construction projects involve the use of steel beams. These beams need to be fabricated, cut and fitted together. This is where beam coping comes in. Coping steel beams is an integral part of the metal fabrication and construction process. In this article, we’ll cover what beam coping is and why it’s important. What is beam coping? In construction, steel beams often need to be cut and... View Article
