Why Choose Steel Fabrication?

When off-the-shelf solutions do not fit your unique application, our custom steel fabrication capabilities deliver purpose-built structures. We fabricate equipment platforms, work decks, conveyor supports, custom rack components, steel staircases, guard rails, and specialty storage fixtures. Our fabrication partner delivers precision-welded structural steel to your specifications, and our installation crews bring those structures on-site and into service. If you can draw it or describe it, we can build it. Custom steel fabrication fills the gaps that standard products cannot address. A conveyor support structure that must bridge an existing concrete trench, an elevated equipment platform that must integrate with existing mezzanine framing, a custom rack section that fits an irregular building column bay: these are the kinds of challenges that our fabrication capabilities solve. Every custom project is reviewed by our engineering team for structural adequacy, weldability, and installation feasibility before fabrication begins. Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions serves manufacturing plants, distribution centers, food processing facilities, energy and mining operations, and government facilities across the Mountain West. Our fabrication lead times are typically faster than national fabricators because we maintain a local relationship with our fabrication partner and handle project management in-house. From initial concept to installed structure, we manage the entire process so you do not need to coordinate between multiple vendors.

Technical Details & Buying Guide

Structural steel fabrication uses material certified to ASTM standards: A36 for general structural shapes, A572 Grade 50 for higher-strength applications, and HSS (hollow structural sections) in round, square, and rectangular profiles for columns, frames, and guardrail systems. Welding is performed to AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code, with weld procedures and welder qualifications maintained for the material and process used. Finished structures are typically primed or powder-coated for corrosion resistance, with stainless steel or epoxy coating options available for food-grade or chemical-resistant applications.

Engineering is an integral part of the custom fabrication process. For structures that will be permitted or that carry significant loads, a licensed structural engineer reviews the design for code compliance, specifies connections, and stamps the drawings for permit submission. Load calculations account for dead load (the structure itself), live load (product, equipment, or personnel), seismic loads per IBC for the local zone, and any dynamic loads from conveyor systems, forklifts, or vibrating equipment. Anchor bolt design and the connection of the structure to the building floor or wall is a critical engineering element, as improperly designed anchor connections are a common failure point in field-fabricated structures.

Fabrication tolerances and shop drawings are provided prior to manufacturing so clients can verify dimensions before steel is cut. Field measurement of existing conditions is included in our process for projects that must integrate with existing equipment, building structure, or utility locations. On-site fitting and welding is available for structures that cannot be fully assembled in the shop, and our installation crews are trained in safe rigging and structural erection procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials do you fabricate?

We work primarily with structural steel (A36 and A572 grades) and HSS tubing in square, rectangular, and round profiles. We can also incorporate stainless steel for food-grade applications and aluminum for weight-sensitive or corrosion-prone structures. All materials are sourced from certified domestic mills with mill certifications available on request.

Do you provide engineer-stamped drawings?

Yes. Structural fabrications used as load-bearing structures or that will be submitted for a building permit are engineered and stamped by a licensed structural engineer. We coordinate with local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) for permit submission and respond to plan check comments.

How long does custom steel fabrication take?

Lead times vary by project complexity. Simple equipment frames or guardrail systems can be fabricated in 1–2 weeks. Larger structures with engineering, permit requirements, and complex connections typically take 3–6 weeks from final design approval to delivery. We provide schedule commitments at the time of quoting.

Can you match existing structures or finish colors?

Yes. For additions to existing structures, we match member sizes, connection styles, and finish colors as closely as possible. For powder-coat color matching, we use standard RAL or custom-matched colors. For structural steel additions that will be load-bearing connections to existing steel, we verify the existing member capacity before designing the connection.

What is the difference between a fabricated structure and a modular system?

Modular systems (like mezzanines and wire partitions) are manufactured in standard sizes and configurations for quick installation at lower cost. Custom fabrication is for applications where standard products do not fit, or where the load, span, or geometry requires a purpose-designed structure. We recommend modular systems when they fit the application. Custom fabrication is for the cases they cannot.
