There are a variety of services available for structural steel, including:
Fabrication: The fabrication of structural steel involves cutting, bending, and welding steel components to create customized structures. Fabrication shops use specialized equipment and skilled labor to create complex structures for construction projects.
Design: Structural steel designers use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create detailed models of steel structures. These models help ensure that the structure will be safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
Installation: Structural steel installation involves the assembly of pre-fabricated steel components on a construction site. Skilled ironworkers and welders use cranes and other specialized equipment to lift and place steel components into position.
Maintenance: Structural steel maintenance involves regular inspections, cleaning, and repair to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure. Maintenance can include tasks such as repainting, replacing corroded components, and tightening bolts.
Retrofitting: Retrofitting involves adding structural steel components to an existing structure to improve its strength, stability, or functionality. Retrofitting is often necessary to bring older structures up to modern safety codes or to accommodate changes in use.
