Construction Products

Premium-grade structural steel beams not only make constructions last longer with less maintenance, but they also streamline the construction process itself by minimizing costly or time-intensive steel rework. AXE Steel is an AISC fabricator that specializes in fabricating tight-tolerance structural steel beams for infrastructural, commercial, and industrial projects. Our exacting metalworking processes guarantee that each beam meets stringent specifications, provides reliable load-bearing capabilities, and offers long-lasting structural integrity in challenging environmental conditions.

Structural Steel Beam Product Features

AXE Steel fabricates W-beams, H-beams, and structural steel beams with custom profiles. We work with a wide range of steel alloys, including ASTM A992 and A36 steel grades. All of our products are delivered with full mill certification to support traceability. As part of our fabrication processes, our engineering team guarantees that each beam is dimensionally accurate to transfer loads predictably and align perfectly within tight building tolerances.

If your beams need additional protection, we offer these finishing options to further extend service life:

Galvanized
Epoxy
Primed coating

Eliminate Rework From Inconsistent Sizing

One of the biggest variable costs on a construction site is rework. On a smoothly running site with premium materials and expert contractors completing a finalized plan, rework can be virtually nonexistent so that the project is completed on schedule and within budget.

But when errors pile up, costs can accumulate quickly. Poor structural alignment caught too late can make contractors undo work that has to be redone as quickly as possible. Poor-quality structural steel beams with inconsistent dimensions, in particular, can have outsized impacts because the project has to halt, reverse course, and get resolved. Every bad beam represents hours of grinding, re-drilling, and shimming, which can make projects run significantly over budget.

While all field modifications add to the final budget, rework is especially draining because it comes with hefty expenses and delays that have downstream effects on certification, inspections, and scheduled electrical, fire system, plumbing, and layout contractors. Failing to identify poorly made beams can be even more costly.

The AXE Steel Solution: Multi-Point Inspection

With structural steel beams, final product quality is a direct result of the fabricator’s quality control processes. At AXE Steel, our quality control processes ensure that all structural steel beams are strong, free of flaws, and ready to fit exact project demands. Through our rigorous multi-point inspections that extend from fabrication to finishing, we guarantee that every beam meets or exceeds industry standards for alignment, finish quality, and weld quality.

By completing inspections before shipping, we minimize field fixes and rework to keep your project on track and within budget. In fact, our customers report up to 20% fewer site issues due to consistent beam fabrication, and some have even been able to complete projects ahead of schedule.

In-House CWI and Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Our in-house quality control processes involve cutting-edge technology to guarantee that every beam is ready for on-site installation. Our quality team includes full-time Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) and ASNT-TC-1A certified Level 3 Ultrasonic Testing (UT) technicians who thoroughly inspect the welds and structural integrity of each beam through visual inspections, measurements, and ultrasonic testing for a chain of custody that stretches from start to finish.

Why In-House Inspection Matters

In-house quality control and inspection processes offer greater control and efficiency than outsourcing. We integrate inspections into our fabrication processes to quickly identify and resolve any potential deviations. Real-time monitoring and early defect detection lead to solutions during fabrication, not at the worksite. This significantly reduces the risk of expensive steel rework at your site, saving you time and money.

Build With Confidence on Your Next Project

The right structural steel beams are fundamental components of any commercial, industrial, or infrastructural project. Poor-quality beams with inconsistent dimensions require time-intensive rework that slows construction and adds expense. At AXE Steel, we fabricate, finish, inspect, and deliver W-beams, H-beams, and custom beams so your site can stay on track by eliminating delays and costly steel rework.
