Heartland Steel fabricates beams, columns, frames and structural assemblies to your approved shop drawings. Buy it as fabrication only or as part of a turnkey steel package, for projects across Texas and nationwide.
Fabrication is the center of everything Heartland Steel does. Your steel is cut, drilled, fit and welded in our shop at 398 Cherokee Trail in Woodway, near Waco.
The shop is 125 by 75 feet, with a saw line, a CNC plasma table and AWS certified welders, and it is run to meet AISC standards. Our fabricators build to your approved shop drawings, and pieces are checked against those drawings before they are loaded. When steel reaches your site, it is ready to set.
Structural steel fabrication is the shop process of cutting, drilling, fitting and welding steel shapes and plate into the beams, columns, braces and assemblies that make up a building's frame. The work follows approved shop drawings, and the finished pieces are delivered to the job site for erection.
The plate parts on your project are cut on our own CNC plasma table, straight from the digital part files. They never leave the building to wait in line at an outside burn shop.
The table cuts from the same files as the shop drawings, so each plate matches what was approved.
The fiftieth base plate comes off the table just like the first one.
Plate work runs on our schedule, not a burn shop's backlog.
Clean, accurate parts go straight to our welders, which keeps the whole package moving.
Parts we cut in houseBase plates, cap plates, connection plates, gusset plates, stiffeners, shear tabs, embed plates and plate stair stringers.
Primary framing, the pieces that connect it, and the steel that supports everything else in the building.
