Heavy structural fabrication work refers to the process of fabricating large and complex metal structures used in various industries, such as construction, infrastructure, oil and gas, mining, power generation, and more. This type of fabrication involves working with heavy-gauge materials and requires specialized equipment and expertise.
The Krishna Industries is experienced and reputable fabrication companies for heavy structural projects, as we possess the expertise, equipment, and safety measures necessary to handle large-scale projects effectively and efficiently.
The process of heavy structural fabrication typically includes the following steps:
Design and Engineering: The first step involves creating detailed engineering drawings and designs based on the project requirements and specifications. This includes determining the dimensions, materials, load-bearing capacities, and structural integrity of the components.
Material Selection: Choosing the appropriate materials for the project is critical. Commonly used materials include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and sometimes even composite materials, depending on the specific application and environment.
Cutting and Profiling: Once the materials are selected, they need to be cut and shaped according to the design specifications. Heavy-duty cutting machines like plasma cutters, laser cutters, or oxy-fuel torches are used for this purpose.
Welding: Welding is a fundamental process in structural fabrication. Skilled welders use various welding techniques such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), and stick welding to join the cut pieces together and create the structural components.
Assembly: After the individual pieces are fabricated, they are assembled according to the engineering drawings, ensuring accurate alignment and fitment.
Surface Treatment: Structural components often undergo surface treatment processes such as sandblasting, painting, galvanizing, or powder coating to protect them from corrosion and enhance their durability.
Transport and Installation: Once the fabrication is complete, the large structural components are transported to the construction site, where they are assembled to form the final structure.
