Structural steel
Structural steel, fabricated to plan and built to hold.
We cut, form, and erect structural steel for marine, industrial, and municipal projects — the same trade we practice on ship structures, applied to buildings and public works. The City of Vista trusted us with the structural repair of The Wave Water Park; your mezzanine is in good hands.
From engineered drawings or from a problem that needs solving, we fabricate in our Chula Vista shop and install on your site with MIG (GMAW) and flux-core (FCAW) procedures.
Structural work we handle
- Beams, columns, and load-bearing repairs
- Stairs, platforms, and mezzanines
- Handrails and guardrails — code-compliant, commercial and municipal
- Equipment frames and supports
- Municipal and public-works structures
