Service Steel Warehouse Products & Services

Structural Steel We Supply

Key Selling Points

  • Availability & Customization: Our wide range of stocked sections (beams, channels, tubing, bars, plates, sheets, coils, and grating) supports immediate access to material to speed up project timelines, minimize labor, and reduce waste by avoiding on-site processing.
  • Customer Service: Our decades-long reputation for a customer-first approach has earned us the respect of the industry and trust with our partners. We leverage advanced logistics technology to ensure timely deliveries so production and fabrication schedules are met.

Steel Piling We Supply

  • Pipe Piling: Round pipe piles (8.625″-24″ diameter, 0.25″-0.625″ wall) in grade A252-3 for deep foundations and marine structures, cut to length and available with galvanized finishes.
  • Sheet Piling: Interlocking steel sheet piling (standard JX sections, 12″-20″ height, 0.335″-0.669″ web thickness) for excavation support, floodwalls, cofferdams, and permanent retaining structures.
  • H-Piling: H-pile steel sections (wide-flange beams driven into the ground as deep foundations for point-bearing support) are available as part of our piling solutions.

Key Selling Points

  • Extensive Sheet Piling Inventory: We keep a large supply of sheet piling sections to protect against flood and storm damage. This inventory is unmatched by other suppliers for just-in-time deliveries.
  • Accelerated Project Schedules: Our piling stock, available in standard lengths and profiles, is ready for quick mobilization and deployment for time-critical marine, bridge, and remediation work.
  • Integrated Quality Control: Combined with our testing and finishing services, our piling products ensure regulatory compliance, long-term durability, and performance in a variety of environments.

Services We Provide

  • Bending & Cambering: We offer precise bending and cambering services for structural steel beams to create pre-engineered curves that enhance load support and meet custom architectural or infrastructure specifications.
  • Galvanizing: Hot-dip galvanizing coats your steel products in zinc to create a durable, corrosion-resistant layer for long-term protection in harsh environments.
  • Steel Sawing: We provide precision sawing for all structural sections (steel beams, plates, channels, tubing, and more), ensuring clean, accurate cuts and ready-to-use lengths straight from inventory.
  • Flame Cutting: We can size or contour plates and structural shapes with flame cutting, saving material waste and efficiently prepping components for fabrication or installation.
  • Sheet & Coil Slitting: Our precision slitting service turns wide coil and sheet stock into specified widths, supporting just-in-time workflows for roofing, automotive panels, and custom fabrication projects.
  • Tee Beam Splitting: We split wide-flange beams and I-beams into custom tee sections to deliver accurate tee-beam profiles without distortion for trusses and secondary framing.
  • Charpy Impact Testing: We offer Charpy impact testing services to verify steel toughness and energy absorption, critical for demanding applications requiring brittle-to-ductile transition assurances.

Key Selling Points

  • Streamlined Project Execution: Handling multiple services for you, like bending, cambering, galvanizing, and cutting, reduces the need for complicated third-party coordination, which results in faster turnaround times and simplified logistics.
  • Enhanced Quality Control: Our in-house processing ensures consistent quality across all stages, from material selection to final finish, minimizing the risk of defects and ensuring that all components meet your exact specifications.
