Structural steel fabrication is a fascinating process that involves cutting, bending, and assembling raw steel materials to create a variety of structures. These structures, made from multiple steel components, are essential in the construction of buildings, tools, industrial equipment, and more.
Gateway Steel Fabrications frequently employs steel fabrication to ensure that domestic and commercial projects are completed on schedule and within budget.
The three stages of steel fabrication
The structural fabrication process is divided into three stages: cutting, bending, and application. Cutting involves shearing, sawing, or chiseling by a metal fabricator using tools such as plasma torches, water jets, and laser cutters. Next, another metal fabricator bends the alloy, either manually or with a machine. The final stage, application, typically involves welding and shaping the components with specialised construction tools and software
The Importance of Structural Steel Fabrication
Structural steel plays a crucial role in the construction industry. It is extensively used for various applications such as high-rise buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, and temporary structures.
This is due to its strength, durability, cost-effectiveness, and rapid installation. Additionally, all surplus materials can be recycled, and quality construction requires minimal maintenance. Structural steel is also easy to modify, as it does not warp or buckle.
Importantly, structural steel complies with industry standards and offers safety features like fire resistance and excellent thermal properties. Examples of final products include steel stairs, structural steel beams, wind turbines, parts for aircraft and automobiles, and mining fittings.
As a cost-effective and efficient solution, fabricated structural steel continues to serve an essential function. To learn more, get in touch with our experts today.
