Safety and Quality

Safety and Quality Built Into Every Job

How Heartland Steel protects people on the job and makes sure the steel that leaves our Woodway shop fits the first time.

Why It Matters

Two Things GCs Cannot Compromise On

Safety incidents stop jobs, and steel that does not fit stops them too. Both cost the general contractor time, money and reputation.

Heartland Steel treats safety and quality as the same discipline: plan the work, follow the drawings, check before it moves, and own the result.

Our standard

Every piece built to approved drawings and checked before it ships. Every person on the job goes home the way they came in.

Quality Control

How We Control Quality

Quality starts on paper and follows the steel out the shop door.

01

Built to Approved Drawings

Shop drawings are approved before any steel is cut, and our fabricators work from the current approved set.

02

AWS Certified Welders

Welding is done by AWS certified welders in a shop run to meet AISC standards.

03

Checked Before Loading

Pieces are checked against the drawings for dimensions, holes and welds before they are loaded.

04

Material Traceability

Mill certifications for project steel are available on request.

05

Piece Marks That Match

Every member carries a piece mark that matches the erection drawings, so the field knows where it goes.

06

Accountability

If something does not fit, one company owns the fix. That is the core of a turnkey package.

Safety

How We Approach Safety

Safe work is planned work, in the shop and on the job site.

01

Planned Shop Work

Lifts, cuts and welds in our Woodway shop are planned before they happen, not improvised.

02

Planned Field Work

On turnkey jobs, erection is planned ahead with the crew Heartland contracts and manages.

03

Everyone Goes Home

Safety is part of the job, not a step that gets skipped when the schedule gets tight.
