Services
Custom Fabrication
Our custom fabrication services transform raw materials into precision-engineered components using CNC machining, robotic welding, and advanced cutting technologies. We handle projects from prototype development to full-scale production, serving automotive, aerospace, and construction sectors. Our AWS-certified welders and state-of-the-art equipment ensure dimensional accuracy within 0.005 inches for critical applications.
Cascade Deburring System
This patented system revolutionizes metal part cleaning and deburring through high-frequency vibration technology. It eliminates chemical usage while achieving 50% faster processing times and 70% energy savings compared to traditional methods. Ideal for complex geometries in automotive and hydraulic components, ensuring consistent surface finishes to Ra 16in.
Structural Steel Services
We provide end-to-end structural steel solutions including design, fabrication, and project management for commercial and industrial buildings. Our AISC-certified team produces welded assemblies up to 50,000 lbs, with precision cutting and coping tolerances of 1/16 inch. Services include material procurement, connection engineering, and on-site installation support.
Surface Preparation
Our surface treatment processes include abrasive blasting to SSPC-SP10 near-white metal standards and precision coating applications. We apply protective epoxy systems with DFT control using Elcometer 345 gauges, ensuring corrosion resistance for structural components in harsh environments.
Project Management
We coordinate complete manufacturing projects from initial design through delivery, maintaining ASME B5.54 accuracy standards for dimensional control. Our team manages material procurement, production scheduling, and logistics coordination to ensure on-time delivery within 3% of estimated timelines.
