  • Steel Structures & Specifications

Premium Steel Structures

Tensile shade structure steel fabrication detailed, fabricated, and erected according to AISC specifications. All welding follows AWS specifications using certified welders to ensure the highest quality and safety standards.

Steel Grades & Standards

We use only premium-grade materials conforming to international standards

Structural Steel

ASTM A-36 - The industry standard for structural steel, providing excellent strength and weldability for all primary structural components.

Pipe Columns

ASTM A-53, Grade B - High-quality pipe columns unless specified otherwise, ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability.

High-Strength Connections

ASTM A-354, Grade B or SAE J249, Grade 8 - Premium high-strength bolted connections for critical structural points.

Welding Standards

All welding performed by certified welders, following the latest edition of the American Welding Society specifications, using E70 electrodes or ER 7053 wire.

Fabrication and Erection

All fabrication and erection work is performed in strict accordance with AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) specifications, ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety, and structural integrity.

  • Precision cutting and fabrication
  • Computer-aided design and engineering
  • Quality control at every stage
  • Certified welders and technicians
  • On-site installation supervision
  • Final inspection and testing

Coatings & Finishes

Protective coatings for long-lasting performance in harsh environments

Powder Coating

Provides excellent resistance to scratching, chipping, and fading. Ideal for smaller structures with high visibility where aesthetics are important. Available in a wide range of colors.

Epoxy Wet Paint

Recommended for harsh marine environments for added protection against corrosion and saltwater exposure. Provides superior adhesion and durability.

Primer Application

A high-quality primer is used as the base for all painted and coated surfaces, ensuring maximum adhesion and corrosion protection.

In-Shop Application

All coatings are applied in controlled shop conditions to ensure consistent quality and proper curing before installation.
