What Are Steel Columns?

Steel columns are vertical supports that hold a structure’s weight. Construction workers use them when working on buildings, bridges, and other structures. Commercial buildings and high-rise apartment complexes commonly use steel columns, but you can also find them in residential construction. In some cases, steel columns are used in conjunction with other types of columns, such as concrete or wood, to provide additional support.

The Steel Column Fabrication Process

Our steel column fabrication process starts with selecting raw materials. We conduct quality checks to ensure only the best steel enters production. Next, we use cutting machines to shape steel into precise lengths. Our skilled technicians oversee this step, maintaining high accuracy levels.

Welding comes after cutting. We join the separate steel pieces into columns, and we check each weld for strength and consistency. Any defects lead to immediate correction.

Next, we move on to the assembly stage. Our workers put the steel components together, paying close attention to detail. We make sure each column meets design specifications. For this step, we use advanced tools to enhance efficiency and safety.

Then, we apply a coating that protects the assembled columns. The coating process involves cleaning, followed by applying a rust inhibitor. Afterward, we cover each column with a durable paint coating. This paint acts as a protective layer against weather conditions.

Finally, our quality control team inspects the finished columns. Our inspectors use strict standards to assess every aspect. They measure dimensions, check coatings, and verify the overall build. Passing the quality control means the columns are ready for shipment.

We take pride in our steel column fabrication process. We deliver strong and durable columns consistently. Our team's commitment to excellence ensures the structural integrity of every project we undertake.
