London Steel Fabricators Services
A steel fabricator is a professional or company specialising in creating and assembling steel structures and components. This involves cutting, bending, welding, and assembling steel materials to create products or structures such as beams, columns, frames, bridges, buildings, industrial machinery, and various other steel-based constructions.
At the design & planning stage, the fabricator needs to read the blueprints, drawings, and specifications provided by engineers and architects to plan the fabrication process. This would follow by assessing the appropriate type and grade of steel required for the specific project and quantities.
The fabricator and his team use tools like saws, shears, lasers, and plasma cutters to cut steel to precise dimensions. By using machines like press brakes they bend steel into desired shapes. Once all the various sections are cut, shaped and bent to the correct size and angles the team will weld the necessary pieces together using various welding techniques to join steel components.
The next stage is to assemble the cut, shaped, and welded components to form the final product. Once the assembled project is ready, the fabricator will apply finishes such as painting & galvanising, or powder coating to protect the steel from corrosion and wear. The project can be examined now to ensure it meets the required standards and specifications.
Steel fabricators are crucial in many industries such as construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, and automotive, where precise and durable steel components are essential. London Steel Fabricator provide the above services and more.
