Steel Structures and Engineering

Fabrication is the process used to manufacture steelwork components that will, when assembled and joined, form a complete frame. The frame generally uses readily available standard sections that are purchased from the steelmaker or steel stockholder, together with such items as protective coatings and bolts from other specialist suppliers. The steel-framed building derives most of its competitive advantage from the virtues of prefabricated components, which can be assembled speedily at site.
