- FABRICATION & ERECTION
Seamless Integration from Design to Final Field Connection
- One Team, Zero Friction
When fabrication and field erection are handled by separate entities, projects often face communication gaps, shipping delays, and field fit-up issues.
Ben Hur Construction eliminates that friction. By combining our deep structural steel fabrication legacy with our advanced self-perform erection crews, we provide a single, unified workflow that keeps your project on schedule.
- The Fabrication Phase: Precision Manufacturing
Our fabrication partners focus on turning raw materials into highly precise, engineered components built strictly to your project specifications, while our Project Management team focuses on managing the project to stay on schedule and within budget.
1.
Detailed Shop Drawings
Our team engages early in the planning phase to develop field plans and shop drawings, identifying and resolving potential constructability issues well before fabrication begins.
2.
Material Procurement
We utilize industry-leading software to procure and manage material to minimize waste during the fabrication process.
3.
Welding Standards
Our fabrication partners perform precise assembly and final welding—including MIG, TIG, and arc welding methods—fully compliant with American Welding Society (AWS) standards to ensure total structural integrity.
4.
Industrial Finishing
We utilize fabrication partners that apply heavy-duty surface treatments, including grinding, commercial painting, and galvanizing, to protect the steel against corrosion and wear.
5.
Strict Quality Control
Every piece of steel our fabrication partners produce undergoes rigorous dimensional checks and weld inspections in accordance with AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) before it leaves their shop floor.
- The Erection Phase: Advanced Field Execution
Once components are fabricated, our field crews take over to manage the logistics, lifting, and final installation safely and efficiently.
Sequenced Delivery & Site Logistics
We coordinate delivery schedules so that steel arrives on-site in the exact order it needs to be erected, minimizing jobsite congestion and staging demands.
Engineered Lifting Operations
As an AISC Advanced Certified Steel Erector, we utilize our own fleet of cranes and specialized rigging equipment to execute heavy, critical-path picks with absolute precision.
Laser Alignment & Leveling
Our field superintendents use advanced alignment tools and transit levels to ensure every column, beam, and truss is perfectly plumb and level.
Secure Installation
We complete all field bolts and welds to structural specifications, conducting final quality walks to verify compliance, stability, and safety.We complete all field bolts and welds to structural specifications, conducting final quality walks to verify compliance, stability, and safety.
- Uncompromising Safety Standards
Fabricating and erecting heavy structural steel requires constant vigilance, operating under strict OSHA and AWS guidelines.
We ensure our shop craftworkers and field ironworkers are continuously trained, fully equipped, and authorized to maintain a secure environment on every jobsite.
