Structural steelwork designed, manufactured and installed by Steelwork Engineering

Here at Steelwork Engineering we often use the phrase ‘steel fabrication’ in our blog posts and with this in mind, we thought we’d explain in a little more detail what it actually means!

The term ‘steel fabrication’ is simply used to describe the process used to manufacture separate steel components. Once assembled and joined together, these separate components create a complete steel frame, designed to create the ‘skeleton’ of an office block, for example. Steel framed buildings are incredibly versatile because the frames can be manufactured from either standard sized steel sections, or if this isn’t appropriate, fabricated sections which are made to order.

The fabrication of steel sections has changed beyond all recognition over recent decades. In the not too distant past we used tape measures to check measurements, whilst these days we make the most of computer aided design and detailing. Computer aided design (CAD as it is widely known), is software which used to design each separate section. The CAD software we use is linked directly to the machinery on our factory floor, enabling us to reduce manufacturing times whilst ensuring consistent accuracy and quality.
