Automated Processing of Structural Steel is Key to a Successful Build

Automated Processing of Structural Steel is Key to a Successful Build

The use of structural steel is a crucial component of modern construction. Steel structures offer several advantages, including durability, strength, longevity, and flexibility. However, any steel construction project’s success depends on the components’ accuracy. In recent years, the automation of structural steel processing has revolutionized the construction industry. Automated processing of structural steel is key to a successful build, and in this blog, we will discuss why.

The Benefits of Automated Processing of Structural Steel

High Precision Automated Processing

The automated processing of structural steel allows for high precision in the production of components. Our steel is processed through automated processing equipment, including CNC plasma tables, ensuring that all components are manufactured to precise specifications. This high level of precision eliminates errors that could cause issues during construction and ensures that all components fit together perfectly, leading to faster and more efficient field installation.

Increased Productivity

Automated structural steel processing increases productivity both in the fabrication shop and the field. The high precision of the components allows for the faster and easier erection of the structure in the field. Components can be easily assembled, leading to quicker construction times and reduced labor hours. This increased productivity is crucial in meeting construction timelines and budget requirements.

American Made and Produced Locally

At Team BES, we prioritize the use of American-made steel and the use of local labor to produce our structural steel components. This allows us to manage the entire process, from fabrication to installation, ensuring that our products meet the highest quality standards. It also allows us to reduce our environmental impact by minimizing transportation emissions and supporting the local economy.

Reduced Waste

Our automated processing equipment allows us to optimize the use of materials and minimize scrap, reducing waste and lowering material costs. Additionally, our equipment can recycle excess material, reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing processes.

Improved Safety

The automation of structural steel processing also improves safety in the fabrication shop and on the project site. Automated equipment eliminates the need for manual cutting and handling of heavy components, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Additionally, the precision of the components allows for easier and safer assembly in the field, reducing the risk of errors and accidents during construction.

Team BES Automated Processing Leads to More Successful Builds
